Potlatch 2 can leave isolated nodes #4496

Author: stevage Just to check I've understood, you're saying that when the user deletes a way in Potlatch2, any nodes that only contain an "odbl=clean" tag and nothing else should also be deleted? If so, this sounds like the kind of mass automation task that is likely to be run at some point in the future anyway, I'm guessing? |

Author: Richard I think this is just a matter of adding 'odbl' to the key lists in hasInterestingTags in Entity.as and EntityCollection.as. |

Thank you, that's exactly what I meant. |

My understanding is that, when a way is deleted, all of its nodes are deleted unless they are part of other ways or are tagged with further information. That rule appears to be followed even if the only tag on a node is 'odbl=clean'. I deleted a way (a short footpath) that contained several nodes marked odbl=clean. After deleting the way, several isolated nodes remained, each tagged with 'odbl=clean' and no other tags. It would be easy to fail to notice these nodes and to leave them in place, thus increasing the size of the database without adding anything to the map.
I was using the default editor (Potlatch 2 in-browser) running on Firefox under Windows XP.
