Note that there is annoying problem of

should we prevent somehow against this?

AntMadeira commented 4 months ago

There's always the problem of people misusing tags, but maybe the label could say "species name in latin" and/or put a placeholder (is this the correct name?) with a species in Latin as an example in the field space.

I like the idea of using the label to make this more explicit. Also with the other tags genus, taxon. Would be great to see a PR/Draft of this, so we can see what this would look like.

Can we specify the placeholder text from this repo? If so…: How about we give an example with real latin names that show the system of genus <> taxon <> species. The term to have common parts, don't they? This could help to signal to users how to use the fields.

Looking at the numbers https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree#combinations, species and genus should be both be part of the presets. I would still consider them part of the moreFields, though.

I think the placeholder could indeed help to dissipate doubts of what should be introduced in that field.

Given the importance and usefulness of species, I would argue that it should be a visible field in the natural=tree preset. genus and taxon could be added to moreFields, so that mappers could access those tags more easily.
