OpenStreetMap
I’m a newbie in mapping.
Very interesting experience and looking forward to making a difference in the world. As I am still learning if you feel to give me some hints I will appreciate. I’m saving my tasks, but I don’t see it on my profile, is it normal?

Hi Nmxosm,
Thanks for your feedback, I’m still learning… The browsing is not evident in these pages, unfortunately, because the project and idea is amazing.

Hi,
Rozinha2019 your profile is here https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Rozinha2019 .. if you click on “EDITS” you will see your present edits .. arr I see you have found that, good. The way in which things work .. is like learning to drive a car. The basic concepts are all the same from one car to another .. once you have learnt those it become easier to use a different car/app.
The names tag should only be used for real name. For things like ‘small house’ use the description key -e.g. description=small house. The editors only have a certain number of presets but allow you to use things they don’t have .. the description key might be one that iD does not have (yet). OSM constantly evolves -ever changing .. that annoys some but makes adding new stuff a little easier. The OSM wiki can be helpfull, but use your own thoughts when reading it.. for the description key -https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description
There is a lot in mapping. Enjoy.
