Preset MDF

[Mahabarata]

In Transifex, we have the text MDF to translate.

In the context tab on Transifex, we have :
build/temp/v4.xml:1373(list_entry:display_value|value:mdf):, build/temp/v4.xml:1376(list_entry:display_value|value:mdf):, build/temp/v4.xml:1389(list_entry:display_value|value:mdf):

On the wiki, I found :

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3DMDF
• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:floor:material
• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name:mdf

I found your file :
https://github.com/simonpoole/beautified-JOSM-preset/tree/master/i18n/preset_fr.po

with mdf :

• at the line 9031 = build/temp/v4.xml:9078(text:text|group:Man_Made|preset:MDF|key:operator) -> deprecated (see Item "MDF" should get deprecated="true" #328)
• at the lines 18830, 18831, 18832 = same as the context
• at the line 22093 = build/temp/v4.xml:9074(item:name|group:Man_Made|preset:MDF) -> deprecated (see Item "MDF" should get deprecated="true" #328)

In your file, if I search for : "build/temp/v4.xml:1373(list_entry:display_value|value", it seems that the result is for values of the wiki page building:material, not floor:material.

So I think that MDF in Transifex is for building:material.
But mdf cannot be a material for buildings, only for floors and furnitures

Did I miss something ?

MDF can definitely be used for buildings, we currently don't use floor:material anywhere, so that is the only non-deprecated use of MDF.

[Mahabarata]

MDF material is not waterproof so impossible to use it to build a building (according to the wiki, "The key building:material=* is used to describe the outer surface material of building walls, also know as the facade or façade" : so building:material=MDF is not listed on the wiki because impossible to use for a facade).

MDF is used only for floors or for walls inside a building.

But there is no tag for inside walls, only for floor:material.

And with only 6 uses, see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/building%3Amaterial=MDF#overview., all at the same place if you look at the result of the overpass query (button right up on the taginfo page), so probably an error (HDF ?)

So I think this preset should be removed,
