Add link to edit OpenStreetMap directly from the website about equalstreetnames

[RobinLinde]

I've now got a basic 'editor' that takes an OSM way or relation, gets associated tags and tries to provide a suggestion for a Wikidata entry. Now it just needs to add the info to OSM...

[RobinLinde]

Later today has arrived 😉, I published it over at RobinLinde/ESN-edit. Still needs the same updates though 😐.

[RobinLinde]

To be honest I have been thinking of building a dedicated editor, and have some ideas about how that should function.
Somethin simple like a list of streets, a detail page where you select a wikidata entry and just go to the next one.
The hardest thing is finding the time to do it...

d7d6e9d implements a basic version without any regards for element type (or code quality).

Link will appear automatically after next update for each city ! 🚀

Hello @nitramwin ,

That's indeed an excellent idea and would be helpful for the project but it's (currently) out of the scope of the project.

That being said, any help to make it happen is more than welcome.

I like it but I would try to keep it a bit more "hidden", a regular user is probably not interested by that function.

Able to make changesets now as well, just need to sort out some more error handling and quite a few usability improvements.

Nice ! Well done @RobinLinde ! 👍

I would also maybe add a #equalstreetnames hashtag to the changeset comment so we can easily check the changesets if needed.

[RobinLinde]

Rewrote the complete changeset code today, also includes #equalstreetnames in the commment (https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/changeset/215178). Will publish the code probably later today, have been having some trouble to get it to build properly earlier. Still haven't improved usability that much. Right now the only feedback on whether an edit succeeded is some vague message in the console.

Looking good, let us know when you're looking for feedback ! :)

[RobinLinde]

Just made the first changeset on production server: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/104702072. The version on edit.equalstreetnames.eu should be working enough to do some edits.

There is still a lot of room for improvement, for example the list of common words it filters isn't that complete. It would probably be a good idea to allow the user to alter the search term, as well as the search language, which currently defaults to English.

As always, any feedback, comments or other remarks is very welcome.

Awesome work @RobinLinde ! 👍

I suggest we close this issue here and use issues on your repository (https://github.com/RobinLinde/ESN-edit/issues).

[RobinLinde]

Might be worth to keep this open, while I do now have a basic editor, there is no proper implementation of a link yet...
Any other issues or problems can indeed be raised there (https://github.com/RobinLinde/ESN-edit), I've also enabled discussions there, seems like a good idea.

[jbelien]

[...] there is no proper implementation of a link yet...

Fair point!

[RobinLinde]

I have a new, more subtle version of an edit link, that still needs some refinement over in #200.

[jbelien]

Nice, I was indeed thinking something like that. 👍
