Talk:Tag:railway:signal:distant:states=FR:R+(A)

The railway:signal:distant:states=* tags with FR-prefixed values are currently used by a few sample signals and should see wider adoption when the French railway company releases updated open data. --noeld (talk) 23:43, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I see. So it is semicolon-separated key type. I think it would be good to list the values for this key on the key page, because now it looks like not used. Because no one will find a link from the OSM main page. These values can be explained in one article. maro21 19:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, railway:signal:distant:states=* is a semicolon-separated key type like any other signal states in other countries. This page can be found from the main wiki page by following these steps: OpenRailwayMap > Tagging in France > Distant Signals > available states > FR:R+(A). Is there any other page that should be linked as well? --noeld (talk) 00:25, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
