An quest to add local phone number

[HafizBeyy]

General

Purpose of this quest addition: Having phone numbers of places is generally very useful thing. For example, when you want eat some desired place, you can call them to ask for menu or prices. And this important data is very missin in OpenStreetMap. I think StreetComplete should lead contributors to add this data by adding this quest into the app.
Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: phone
Question asked: What is the local phone number of this place?

Checklist

Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):

• 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
• 🤔 Any answer the user can give must have an equivalent tagging (Quest should not reappear to other users when solved by one)
• 🐿️ Easily answerable by any pedestrian from the outside but a survey is necessary (pedestrian might need to look for a phone number or ask employees for that information)
• 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of quests have the same answer (No spam)
• 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of map data (Worth the effort)

Ideas for implementation

Element selection:
No elements. An input should make it.

Metadata needed:
Country metadata. This way pedestrian doesnt need to enter country code.

Proposed UI:
A big popup with wide input space at the middle, country flag and code at the start. As user types, app automatically put spaces as the regular number typing in that country (for Türkiye we eventually type our phone numbers like this: +90 555 000 55 00 )

Has anything changed since #2043 ?

what would be tagged if there is no phone number to the POI?

Wait, it looks like it was discussed also in #2839

This one is more specific so I am fine with it existing as a separate issue (but if someone would close it as a duplicate I would not be opposed)

This is about the entities for which the quest should be asked? Which (main) tags? Restaurants? Shops? Hotels? Street cabinets?

I think every kind of commercial place should have asked about this. If there is not, user just tag it as no phone number.

What is the established tag for “no phone number”?

EDIT: To add a little bit context: If there is no established tag that can be saved to the object, then it cannot be filtered by it. StreetComplete needs some kind of tag on the object that says “There is no phone number here”, otherwise the quest will be displayed an infinite number of times in succession because the quest always wants to know “What is the phone number here?”.

Let me invent something stupid like “no:phone=yes”. That's really bad syntax but let me illustrate it.
If we filter for all commercial places in the quest, we have to filter them firstly by the fact that they have no phone number and secondly by the fact that someone has already said before that there is no phone number (no:phone=yes or whatever).
StreetComplete does not see it as a task to introduce new tags, so we have to rely on existing tagging here.
Do you think this already exists?

Have you looked at Quest guidelines, especially "💤 No spam" and "🤔 No unanswerable quests"?

I've been using such quest in SCEE (StreetComplete "Expert edition" fork) as noted in #2839 (comment), and while I like the quest, it has problems with especially those two issues. I'd say that here (Croatia) maybe 10-20% of the shops/amenities have phone number signed, and rest do not.

So, in majority of the cases here one has to hide the quest locally, but that is:

• rather tiresome (unless one is really into mapping that specific data)
• does not help with quest popping up for everyone else who will be asked the same quest over and over again

So even I only enable that quest in few profiles, and have it disabled in all the others...

If there is not, user just tag it as no phone number.

But what would StreetComplete write in OpenStreetMap database in that case, to avoid question popping up again for another user (i.e. which OSM key=value tag should be uploaded to OSM database)?

I see that “established” can be interpreted in different ways :)
