Category:OpenStreetMap Surface Tagging Examples

Is Category:OpenStreetMap Surface Tagging Examples intended as a maintenance category, a user category, or what? Really doesn't make sense as a topical category, or what? It really doesn't seem to fit with what a normal topical category is supposed to be. If you want it as a maintenance category or a user category, I can set that up correctly for you. Also, if it's really just a collection of examples, it might make more sense as a gallery page OpenStreetMap surface tagging examples, especially because that would let you annotate each image with what it is an example of. - Jmabel ! talk 03:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the offer to help! I do see that a gallery would have a utility for annotation. I was thinking that it would be a useful category to assign to misc. photos of pavement types that are exemplary of what a certain type of surface is, for example a cobblestone-paved street. This all originated out of this discussion. I am open to suggestions and your expertise. Eplack (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

I've placed these in OpenStreetMap Surface Tagging Examples and written labels for the first three, which you are welcome to modify. At this point I'm handing it to you to do whatever you want with. You can set up multiple galleries, you can add text either to a particular photo or to describe a gallery, etc. This is much better than a category for something where you want other people to be able to know your intent with each image. At this point, I'm leaving it to you. - Jmabel ! talk 01:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
