Further Information

Over 41k, or 22%, of amenity=doctors already use this tag. It would be great to see it implemented in iD.

Hi @diamondarmorsteve, there are 28 presets for doctors, do we need the phone as a suggestive tag in all since it seems the best option to add it in all of them? Please confirm this.

The field is already present as moreFields via https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/data/presets/@templates/contact.json is it not?

[Avan2021]

I don't see this one in any doctor presets but I can add it as it provides more than phone tag as a suggestion. It is same in the amenity=veterinary_pharmacy I used the "{@templates/poi}""{amenity/pharmacy}"

[tordans]

@Avan2021 please see https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/tree/main/data/presets/%40templates for docs on @templates

All those presets use https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/data/presets/%40templates/poi.json#L4 which references https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/data/presets/%40templates/contact.json#L7 references the phone field.

The discussion should be: Do we want the phone field to be more prominent (visible by default) and if so, for which presets do we want this change?

[Avan2021]

Hi @tordans, Is the discussion in the community? If it is then, I would also like to join the discussion as it will help me gain better understanding of the tag an how things work as well

[matkoniecz]

@Avan2021 it is rather waiting for people who care about this specific issue to start discussion - or at least make listing of "for which presets do we want this change?" to make this proposal well defined

(if that will not happen this issue will be closed as abandoned sooner or later)

[matkoniecz]

no response so far, closing, without prejudice for reopening (or opening new one)

this field is already there, question is whether and which doctors should get it far more prominent and displayed also when empty
