Quest: Noexit=yes

[mpikzink]

I still find paths in the woods or in some other places that have not been mapped to the end. I think it would make sense to quest open ended paths that don't have a noexit=yes tag. Either they are bugs from other mapper because the adjacent path is not connected, the noexit=yes tag would not be set at the end of the path or the path still needs to be completed. What so you experts think?

See https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/quest-suggestion.md

The problem is: what should be done in cases where answer is "path continues"?

It would likely produce absurd amount of notes that even with photo require on-place survey by mapper using a full editor.

Tag [`fixme=continues`](https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/fixme=continues)

I think it should rather be fixme=continue (without s), which is the suggested couterpart to noexit=yes https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:noexit=no

Hmmmmmm.

It may actually work.

Yes, it would create many new fixme but it is not actually obstructive and I often manually created such notes as an initial survey step

The main question: is it worth effort of SC mapper? I think that answer is also yes. Yes, it would apply some in cases where it is clear from aerial view.

May it would be actually a good idea to at least create an issue for that ( https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=quest-suggestion.md ) and review criteria once more.

looks like both are used, with one much more common

this path "continues", vs "continue" this path

I think so, data consumers can render a path endpoint which is know to continue differently to one known to not continue.

This one remain purely speculative use, I would rather consider rather use for other mappers.
