For the geological=volcanic_lava_field tag the combined usage with natural=bare_rock seems to be quite popular. Perhaps it could make sense to have this combination as a dedicated preset, so that it can be more easily found when mapping such features?

Something that irritates me a bit is that the proposed added field for geological=outcrop to the natural=stone preset currently only has very few usages (only 30 map features have this tag combination). The wiki also doesn't mention this particular usage.

@bgo-eiu ping?

I have not looked much into PR in general, but I plan to close it as abandoned given no reaction to comment over 3 years. Just to confirm: is it abandoned?

Just "Rock" for natural=rock. This is the more common tag and people have been using it for a variety of types of rocks so the simple name seems OK as long as the terms are there.

  1. The terms are not visible to people using the iD presets. Only aliases will be, but then only if one specifically searches those
  2. Well this would lead to natural=rock being tagged (a lot) on free-standing non-attached rocks which seems to be wrong according to the previous discussion/research.

If I understand your point correctly, you are saying that this is what is happening anyway already a lot, so renaming the preset name to just "Rock" is merely following the de-facto tagging situation and not redefining the meaning of a tag. The latter, we absolutely do not want for obvious reasons that I hope do not need explaining.

What I am missing is proof for the claim that this is indeed the de-facto tagging situation and if you have proof, it should first be documented in the wiki. How much percent of natural=rock is not really a rock attached to bedrock and how much percent is on the other hand tagged correctly according to the wiki definition? Without this, we cannot simply shrug this distinction away in an iD preset PR. After all, the very first two sentences of the wiki article mention this distinction:

natural=rock describes a notable rock feature or small group of rocks, attached to the underlying bedrock, mostly used on a single node element.

On the contrary, single boulders not attached to the bedrock are better tagged as natural=stone.

... and iD (presets), too, has been denoting the meaning of natural=rock correctly according to the wiki definition since the preset had been added.

Good point - I have a strong suspicion the de facto use is for any rock due to how the word is understood in English, but I will do some more formal queries on this for documentation first.
