move aliases of highway=track from terms to aliases field

[westnordost]

I would also have renamed the preset to Land-Access Road and moved Track Road to the aliases because with aliases, there is no need anymore to have any names with a / but since you just implemented interpreting the aliases field in iD, I guess you are aware of this possibility and had your reasons to keep it that way.

See #288 (comment)

I'd like to keep terms sorted alphabetically. 🤓

[westnordost]

I didn't realize they were before. So, should I change this?

[tyrasd]

yes, please

iD ranks terms by their position in the list, so sorting them alphabetically promotes some rarer terms over more common terms. This might be less of a problem now that some terms are aliases, but it’s hard to test.

[westnordost]

Are you sure? Is this documented somewhere (+documented for translators)?

[1ec5]

Oh, either I’m mistaken or it’s no longer in place. It looks like nowadays iD only considers the index of a match against the preset name but only filters by terms.

[tyrasd]

I guess whether it should be an alias depends how exactly "alias" is defined and how it is (going) to be shown in the UI.

I'm not really sure what the difference is between "aliases" and "terms"

Well, the problem here is that this property was never documented (see ideditor/schema-builder#28), nobody really knows.

The most conservative approach would be to use aliases only for proper synonyms (here: land access road and track road). Whether it makes sense to also include names which describe a strict subset of features represented by the preset can be discussed IMO (here for example: forest track, agricultural road, etc.). I would abstain from including terms as aliases which can cover features not represented by the preset (here: dirt road, unmaintained road).

[westnordost]

Yeah... I will answer in ideditor/schema-builder#28

(FYI I consider this blocked until ideditor/schema-builder#28 came to a conclusion)

see ideditor/schema-builder#28 (comment) – please only keep Track Road and Land Access Road in the list of aliases and move the rest back to the terms.
