If you put a tag wikipedia to a building like this, will it refer to the building or to the amenity? And what do you do if there is a wikipedia article for the building and one for the institution inside? This is quite common for museums in old buildings for instance. Many tags are not clear when put to "multiple features on the same osm object", e.g. name, operator, start_date, wikipedia... > This guideline is just saying that one > feature shouldn't be duplicated on multiple OSM elements. It's not > saying that one OSM element cannot carry multiple features. > it is advocating one OSM element carrying multiple features by encouraging users to move the tags from a node inside the building to the building itself, what seems not a good idea IMHO. cheers, Martin
