The definitions of building=house and building=detached on the wiki are very similar and don't seem to have any meaningful difference.
I've seen people say that house is meant for rowhouses, and detached should be for stand-alone houses, but there is no documentation that explains that. If that is the intended meanings of the tags, then the wiki pages need some work. As far as how I've seen things actually mapped, I've only ever seen the building=house tag. Taginfo shows 1.2 million uses of detached, and 27.2 million uses of building=house, so they are both used quite a bit, but house is used a lot more. Can anyone elaborate on these tags, or have ideas on how they could be better written about? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dhouse https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Ddetached
