Re: [Tagging] historic=memorial tagging question

Memorial=* tag is a bit broken at the moment. Its values can be both, what the memorial looks like, and what it commemorates. So the most common value is war_memorial, and that says what it commemorates. Almost all other values say what it looks like, so IMHO, we should stick with the "what it look

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Default Language Format

The name field can be easily read from the receipt, signs on premise, the menu or from the local authority's company registry. For example, based on our local registry, "KFC Gyorsétterem" is the official name of the following venue, and I've added some further properties as illustration: operator

Re: [Tagging] Feature proposal - RFC - assembly_point:purpose

How do you map the following? Two buildings next to each other have dedicated assembly points on the front yard. However the twist is that the assembly point of the first building is in front of the second building and vice versa. The reason is probably to both increase survival rate by taking eve

Re: [Tagging] historic=memorial tagging question

We need to update the wiki then, to add further description. There are plenty of tags we use that are uncommon or have incomplete descriptions. My local temple made an erected a stele as-pictured (similar to the Takasaki one) last year. I think it's orgins are ancient, but still "in use" in m

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Default Language Format

Since not every feature has a name in both languages, database users should consider =fr;nl to mean “French name, Dutch name, or both”; so it’s an AND/OR operation. This way there is no need to add a separate default:language tag for any feature that have either a name:fr= tag or a name:nl= tag, o

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Default Language Format

Map users could guess that the first language should be shown first; for example, if default:language=fr;nl you can show name:fr= first, then name:nl= , and fall back on name= if neither language-specific tags exist. In Brussels the order of names shown on signs actually alternates; one sign is:

Re: [Tagging] Feature proposal - RFC - assembly_point:purpose

Hmm... The active shooter discussion brought up some good things to think about. As far as I know, we are not mapping the evacuation plans of individual buildings with assembly_point. When talking about the schools, we talked about shelters and assembly_points. The pitch at a public school
