I am reluctant to suggest that mapping large groups of buildings as one
outline is a good idea. As I said, to me it is a last resort and should
be avoided at all costs. Otherwise we are going to get blocks of easily
mapped buildings outlined as building just because that is a lot easier
and then leave the detailed mapping to someone else.
But that being said, since it is acceptable to map large blocks of
buildings as building in some circumstances, I think we might need a new
value to the building=* key.
Most data consumers that I work with usually consider building=yes to
indicate one building.
If we know we are mapping multiple buildings under one polygon would it
be a good idea to add something like a 'multiple' value to the key?
building=multiple
That would also make it easier to locate them for further refined
mapping in the future.

In an ideal world I would agree, but we don't live in one and in some cases
such as medieval building layout it can be incredibly difficult to work out
what roofline belongs to which building.
I would say its ok, and better than not mapping buildings at all, then you can
always improve it after more surveys.

I agree it is good to have rough mapping and let it improve over time.
Back to OP question:
Once you trace a rough outline for multiple buildings, what is the tag?
building=yes? or another value?
with a note=*? a fixme=*?
