Variables are good, don't get me wrong, but many categories seem to get too fine grained in defining variables.
For example, for some categories there are variables for entering the hours that the waymark is open or available. The simplest way of entering this would be a free form text box, a single variable. However, most categories have drop downs to select the hour/minute for weekdays, hour/minute for weekends, and sometimes additional ones for Saturdays and Sundays in case they are entered instead of the weekend one.
If I'm waymarking a commercial establishment, often their website will list the hours, and it would be much easier to just cut & paste the hours from their site into a single text box. But instead sometimes this turns into 12 different variables.
For hours, it gets worse. By having a strict set of variables for weekdays, weekends, it doesn't allow exceptions ("Closed Monday, open Tuesday 9-5, open Wednesday-Friday 9-9).
Similar to hours is addresses. First, why bother with addresses since I have coordinates! With addresses, you often have to enter multiple lines of text, including the country & state which is redundant with the country/state information that is already required for all waymarks.
Are there good reasons to break down these variables to such a level instead of having fewer top level variables?
