Show address including number when querying "Does this still exist?"

[Buckelpiste]

When I check if something still exists, it would be helpful to be shown the street plus house number.

Sometimes I'm confused if a doctor or shop should be in this or this house. Also makes it easier to find it in the first place. And it is especially useful when typing in a replacement.

It would seem to me that the main problem is that housenumber 31 is not visible on the map?

And it is especially useful when typing in a replacement.

I also agree that it would be good if address was displayed in quest text as you suggest (in fact, I seem to recall it did that in the past - at least in some cases? I'd have to check if that is a regression) -- but note that would likely only work if that specific OSM shop/doctor element had an address specified on itself; and not if the housenumber was merely on surrounding building or nearby (because reverse geocoding is hard, and produces errors)

Thanks for the reply. The screenshot is just a random example, i.e. the 31 in this case is not the problem. There are other instances, when I would need it.

No need for reverse geocoding. At least here in Germany, house numbers are usually assigned. Yet I happen to live in a densely packed old town with small streets and houses, where it can be difficult to zoom in. And while walking and tagging you don't want to zoom around so much, as you need two fingers and therefore two hands to do so.

If there is a street and housenumber available, it would be nice to see it when

• confirming the existence
• describing empty shops
• typing in a replacement.
  Maybe also in some other instances, not sure.
