Sorry that I missed your proposal. Indeed, it seems that the wikidata id makes the tagging of related enshrines superfluous, as the relation between main and related enshrines can be defined outside OSM. > But many place of worship in Japanese have multiple dedication gods. > And when we would like to express using semi-colon (;), > multi-lingual approach would be fail into complex array. > > e.g. > If a shrine dedicates 3 gods. > in Japanese Kanji = 天照大御神; 月讀命; 素戔嗚尊 > in English = Amaterasu-Oomikami; Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto; Susanoo-no-Mikoto > > And each gods has "loc_name", "alt_name", or alternated writings. > I was thinking about "dedication:N" (like Addr:N) once, but it is a bit > troublesome. There's a subtle difference to addrN: addr1:street, addr1:housenumber etc. need to be used in conjunction, while name:en, name:jp etc. are alternatives. Of course, local names or alternated spellings complicate things a lot. Isn't there an "official" dedication for a given japanese place of worship? We do have that for churches. It's one fixed wording (and spelling) for a given church, just like a birth certificate defines one fixed spelling for a given individual. -- Friedrich K.
