[Tagging] building=bank

Hi! I see nearly 1500 ways in OSM with the tag building=bank. Most of them are also tagged amenity=bank or have a node with amenity=bank inside. The wiki doesn't mention building=bank, and the validator in JOSM assumes a typo and complains "Unknown property value - Value 'bank' for key 'building'

[Tagging] highway=crossing used on ways

Hi all, It seems that many new mappers use this tag for pedestrian crossings on ways instead of highway=footway + footway=crossing. In the past I tried to improve the wiki to make clear that the tag highway=crossing should not be used on ways but obviously that did not work. In November 2015

I think I found one reason for the mistagged ways.

If we follow Daves idea one might create a relation combining a few things that have the same tag, e.g. all building=residential in a town, name it something like "residential buildings" and finally remove the tags from those buildings. I hope nobody thinks this would be a good idea. Reg. the TAP

[Tagging] How to tag the inner part of a roundabout?

I found many places where mappers tried to map the island in the roundabout, e.g. : 1) highway=island or highway=traffic_island 2) traffic_calming=island 3) landuse=traffic_island 1) I'd prefer not to use highway=* for ways which do not describe a means of transportation. 2) The wiki for t

[Tagging] Question reg. wheelchair mapping

Hi all, a few days ago I noticed that the "wheelchair routing" page seems to be quite out-aged. This section http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wheelchair_routing#Obstacles.2FAccessibility states that a ramp for wheelchairs should be tagged highway=access_ramp but this tag is rarely used and

[Tagging] landuse=farmland and highway=track
