I can't find a list of place names like seas from the new wiki. Are the names that were decided on the old wiki staying in use and if so, can they be found anywhere? [https://old.opengeofiction.wiki/index.php/Names_of_Continents_and_Oceans The old list for continents and oceans] includes a lot of names for different seas. I assume they could be mapped if someone has the time to do that. Just wondering this as I try to think of things that maybe could be rescued from the old wiki.

As I assume they should be mapped anyway, what is the standard way of doing that on OGF? I assume place=sea isn't rendered as on OSM for example North Sea isn't named even though it's searchable. So in fact, a wiki list might be more useful than mapped data, if the data isn't visible on the map. I know natural=bay is rendered, but not all seas are bays. Hidden sea names are a struggle to find, as we lack a search function and the standard way to map seas is a single node (on OSM standards even though some use areas). Finding a single unrendered node is almost impossible while an unrendered area would be findable if it included every piece of coastline around it.

So I guess the question is, will this information be available on the new wiki? If not, I feel we should discuss on how to map seas that are not bays etc. so that the names would be findable. - [[User:Eevee|Eevee]] ([[User talk:Eevee|talk]]) 01:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
