Would it be possible to give mappers summary advice on a short wikipage how to identify potential soft storey buildings? Or is this something that requires expert training? Regarding the choice of tag, I was looking at taginfo and the only current tag with some usage I have found is building:irregularity:type <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/building%3Airregularity%3Atype> *soft_sto*ry <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/building%3Airregularity%3Atype=soft_story> all instances have been added at once (i.e. either import or single individual initiative). The key is not bad, but could also omit the "type" and become building:irregularity, or become a property building:irregularity:soft_storey=yes/suspected/etc, in case we expect more building irregularities on the same building. I also note the word "structure" is not in the key, there might be other kinds of e.g. geometric irregularities as well. "story" is American English, in British spelling it should be "storey" (we use British spelling in tag names by convention). Cheers, Martin
