There is a label in Wakatobi Indonesia that appears at lower zoom levels (<15) and disappears at zoom level 16. Because it disappears, it's not possible to edit it out. It doesn't belong and needs to be removed from the base map, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anybody know how to go about removing this kind of label? The label name is Samabahari. asked 17 Jul '19, 04:00  thecd |
One Answer:
You deleted the node six days ago. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1308660796/history If you are still seeing it then you are viewing cached tiles. Or z12 which I think is regenerated periodically https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/-5.4178/123.8096 Ah yes, see https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/178/how-often-does-the-main-mapnik-map-get-updated which says "Low and medium zoom tiles (z0-z12) are usually re-rendered only when a new osm-carto version is being deployed and on the first Sunday of each month" answered 17 Jul '19, 10:57  EdLoach ♦ Thanks for the response EdLoach. I believe you are correct. I'll keep an eye on it for the next month and see if it disappears. It's currently showing up only on z12. (19 Jul '19, 14:11) thecd |
I cannot find any object in OSM named 'Samabahari'. Could you please go to www.openstreetmap.org, zoom to the place where you see the label and paste the URL here.
