Hi Richard,

I see the bug of natural=forest has been corrected so that it adds landuse=forest; that's useful.

However, it does mean that natural=wood isn't available on the presets, which may cause users to mis-tag things. It might be better to change the description of Forest on the preset to "Managed Forest", and have a new preset of "Woodland" for natural=wood; to give users a better idea of which to use under which circumstances.

Regards,
Chris

Another consequence of this is that "natural=wood" appears as "unrecognised" in the presets.

Click a node here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=potlatch2&lat=54.372891&lon=-2.941794&zoom=18
and select the "natural=wood" way to see the effect.

It's not wrong; it just might be confusing.

I have only just seen this proposal - I fully support it. Woodland and Forests are not the same thing.

Some new users in my area have insisted on using landuse=forest instead of natural=wood because only the former has a preset. (It doesnt help that only landuse=forest is rendered with little tree icons in the Mapnik stylesheet.) Id really appreciate a preset for natural=wood. Renaming the landuse=forest preset also sounds like a good idea.

Potlatch 2 has recently [https://github.com/systemed/potlatch2/commit/47cb4ebbd28aa4475699ec4a441570d64462849d had a patch applied] for this issue, which I believe will go live next time the osm.org instance gets updated

Yeah that seems to have been fixed a long time ago. Potlatch 2 allows both natural=wood and landuse=forest from under the 'natural' button.
