I sometimes tag a type with it. In my area there are many individual
fountains (usually older ones) but also a lot of the same in ~3
different types. E.g. in your link
http://www.roninrome.com/living-in-italy/water-water-everywhere the
first pictures are type=nasone (or maybe type=it:nasone).

Another criterion might be if you have to keep pushing a button, or
there is continuous flow or there is a tap you can open.

If you are doing an import you should check beforehand if there is
already a drinking water fountain in OSM mapped to avoid duplicates.

cheers,
Martin
