Another case are citywalls, around here I've lots of pieces and don't like so much putting the Wikipedia tag (and other common tags) on all of them, sort of collector object would be nice in these cases (similarly the great Chinese wall), or not (relations are not categories).

Re: [Tagging] Tagging scrapyards, junkyards
In the parts of the US where I have lived (Midwest, West) these would be called "Auto Salvage" if they mainly dealt with vehicles, although "junkyard" is used colloquially. However, to be consistent, we should use the British English term to be consistent.
