A community-made list of OSM "oh no" messages.
Just take a look at the file and you'll see :)
This repo also hold a list of JOSM tips.
Credit to all the humans.
What started this (OSM World Discord)
- Separate entries with two newlines

, i.e. there should be a blank line between each entry. - Encapsulate tags in `, e.g.
highway=footway
. - Keyboard shortcuts should use
-
as a delimiter and be in Proper Case, e.g.Ctrl-Z
. For strings of keys use a space, but keep it within the same `s, e.g.Ctrl-A Del
. - Follow the formatting of the other messages :P
- If you contribute, add yourself to the humans file :)
- Messages have a somewhat bad outcome.
- Please keep to the same tense as the rest of the messages. As a rule of thumb it should sound normal following "When you do xyz, …"
- Each message should preferably be on a single line.
- Messages should start with
…
