Is this proposal functionally any different from the water outlet proposal? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Water_outlet


There is a lot more to be done for something like this. It needs to incorporate all "man made sources of water'  eg wells.


I am coming around to liking the value 'water_supply_outlet'. I have thought of 'water_source' but that could be misconstrued as the start of a river.


Decorative fountains do not fall under 'water_supply_outlet'. Another problem with 'water_supply_outlet' is the chosen symbol of a tap, I'd leave the symbol to later -see how it evolves.


I'm alright with using a name different from fountain since a lot of people disagree on that name.

By doing all this you're effectively deprecating amenity=fountain; that's strange to me.


It would remove decorative fountains from amenity=fountain as this looks to be evolving into a mess of things that I would not call 'fountains'. It would leave amenity=fountain existing.


I would not tag decorative fountains as tourism as those are not necessarily there for tourism; you have fountains in hidden places that have never seen a tourist...


? If hidden how do we know they are there ..  :) There are a few 'hidden' tourist spots, sometimes I map them, sometimes I leave them off the map in particular where the venue is small and I don't want to see a crowd of people.


Moreover, this would require retagging a lot of objects, and it cannot even be done mechanically because you'd end up mistagging the fountains which are not decorative.


Agreed it is a lot of work. But there is no other way of isolating decorative fountains from the other 'fountains' no mater what tag is agreed too.
