Welcome the OSM Discord bot help :)
The arrows below can be used to navigate, and the ✘ to delete this message.
This is help only for the Discord bot, for more general OSM help there is a list of resources here, and most info about mapping in OSM is on the wiki. If you can't find info about it there, or have any questions, feel free to ask! :)
You can help to improve the bot, and these docs, on the GitHub page.
Report bugs and suggest things in the issues tab, for bot or Discord suggestions please use /suggest.
Helpers can react to a message with 🗑 to delete it.
Just typing / will show a list of all available commands from all bots.
Elements
If a message contains something such as node/240095754, user TomH or note 834, then the bot will add reactions that you can click:
🔎 — Embed showing info and map image.
🖼 — Map image. (not on users)
🛏 — Embed showing info.
❌ — Remove reactions and do nothing.
More info about this on the next page…
/elm <type> <id> [extras]
/changeset <id>
/user <name>
/note <id>
As said on the previous page, you can view elements by mentioning them in a message
By default, only basic info about the thing is shown.
Extended info
If you press TAB an extra time after completing the arguments, you will have the ability to ask for extra info. You should provide a comma separated list of:
• info — Show more info about the element, such as its version, the last user to edit it and more.
• tags — Show all the tags of an element or changeset.
• map — Show an image of the map where this element is.
• members — List the members of a relation.
• discussion — Show the discussion of a changeset or note.
Discord will say which of the above can use for each command.
/taginfo <tag>
Get details about a tag from taginfo.
Accepts tag in the form highway=*, building=house or water (as key).
Statistics about tag usage will be shown, along with a short description of the tag, and it's image off the wiki.
/suggest <suggestion>
If you have a suggestion for this Discord server, such as a new emoji 😉, use /suggest to post it. Suggestions appear in #suggestion-box.
Once you've posted a suggestion people will be able to vote on it, and eventually voting will be closed. (Hopefully with the words "accepted"!)
/showmap <where>
Shown an image of the given map region. (OSM-Carto map style)
<where> should be a map fragment in the format #map=zoom/lat/lon.
The easiest way to get this is from the end of the URL on the OSM website's slippy-map, for example as #map=19/-7.15323/109.13150.
This may also be done inline, but just pasting the #map= map fragment in your message. The bot will then automatically post the image.
/josmtip
/googlebad
View a tip for JOSM, or see your fate of mentioning Google.
All responses are from the ohno-OSM GitHub repo, feel free to contribute more!
A more interactive way to view the JOSM tips is planned…

TODO:
• Docs for the wiki bot?
• /quota and rate limiting (or maybe that should be omitted?)
You can help to improve these docs by editing HELP.md on GitHub.
Please see the README for info on formatting.
