Accepting editor proposals results in overwriting the network tag of buslines by operator information

[A67-A67]

Example changeset

In this changeset (and similar changesets) the iD mapper has accepted editors proposals. One of these proposals seems to overwrite the network tag of bus lines, which should contain the concession name, by information about the operator, Arriva in this case.

Before:

• network=West-Brabant
• operator=Arriva

After:

• network=Arriva
• network:wikidata=Q680991
• network:wikipedia=en:Arriva
• operator=Arriva

A correct proposal would be:

• network=West-Brabant
• operator=Arriva
• operator:wikidata=Q680991
• operator:wikipedia=en:Arriva

The tags network:wikidata and network:wikipedia could contain links to the Wikdata and Wikipedia pages of the West-Brabant concession, although they don't exist at the moment.

I’m unfamiliar with how bus systems are structured in the Netherlands, but if the West-Brabant concession consists of multiple lines, then the fix would be to add an entry to the name suggestion index’s bus route file.

[A67-A67]

In the Netherlands the public transport network structured in concessions, which are geographically coherent groups of bus lines. Every 8 to 15 years a new tender is held for a concession and a bus company can win the concession. For the concessions the tag network is using in OSM, For the bus companies, the operator tag is used.

In iD I'm seeing this while editing bus line 104 at this location:

So iD suggests the correct network (West-Brabant) should be overwritten by the operator (Arriva), including Arriva's wiki-tags.

Both West-Brabant and Arriva are in the name suggestion index. So it seems Arriva, from the operator tag, is wrongly preferred over West-Brabant, which is already in the network tag.
