TL;DR: man_made=quay unless objections are raised. So I have a few nice harbour wharves to map...
I found landuse=wharf but it is only used 37 times: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=wharf man_made=pier is almost certainly not the solution, as http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dpier is explicit about its use "for a raised walkway over water supported by pillars" - which a wharf isn't: a wharf is solid masonry. Ooops... I just found my solution while looking up details to document my question - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharf [1]says "the term _quay_ is common in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and many other Commonwealth countries, and the Republic of Ireland, whereas the term _wharf_ is more common in the United States". And indeed, looking up "Quay" on Wikipedia redirects there - and the French language synonym for wharf is "Quai" (though strangely it doesn't mention the French term "môle" - which is a much better translation for "wharf"... I may have to put that on my French Wikipedia TODO). So, anyway, unless objections are raised, I'll be tagging wharves as man_made=quay areas and I'll update http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dquay [2]which is obviously incomplete (Now who is the numbskull who wrote this page ? Ooops - it is me). Links: ------ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharf [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dquay
