I think a link to shelter:type would be a good addition to the Map
Features; Tourism page for further choices when tagging wilderness

this page throws more confusion into the discussion because on it they
define a basic_hut that is, by my definition at least, the same thing we're
talking about here. What a mess!
No, in the alps its not the same. In the alps tourism=wilderness_hut is
used for remote buildings operated by an alpine club, but (in contrast to
alpine_hut) without staff. These buildings are strongly built and well
equiped (kitchen and beds) houses, called self catering huts in German
(Selbstversorgerhütten). They are locked and you need a key
from the alpine club. These huts are for members of the alpine club
only. In contrast to this, shelter_type=basic_hut is a lightly built
small shelter with four walls and no equipment. Mostly they are situated
on high mountain levels, free accessable, sometimes with some kind of
bed but often without; you always can sleep in a sleeping bag there. In
German they are called Biwakschachtel (bivouac box).
