There was a similar topic about memorials and artworks a while ago, and I mentioned my idea of a tag like sculpture_shape. It would have values like bust, person_standing, person_sitting, person_on_horse, abstract and so on. Then there's already a well established tag subject:wikidata=Qxxx. With those two tags we have the way it looks (if it's a sculpture), and who/what it's dedicated to.

If a memorial is about a specific battle, data consumers would still like to know that it is a war_memorial. So subject:wikidata=* (or subject=*) should point to the specific battle, but some other tag should explain the broader subject. Maybe topic=* or theme=* with values like battle, mass_killing, war_hero, notable_person_death, notable_person_home, notable_event, archeological_finding ...

memorial=stolperstein is fine by me because it describes the shape and the topic in one tag.
Also memorial:type=plaque, plate, stele, obelisk seem ok to me.

    What is the "type" or "kind" of a memorial?
    There are currently different ideas crammed together in the
    subkeys, some referring to the physical appearance, others
    referring to the topic or scope/reason.

    E.g. the suggested/documented tags:
    memorial:type/memorial=plaque
    memorial:type/memorial=plate
    memorial:type/memorial=statue
    memorial=bust
    memorial:type/memorial=stele
    memorial=stone
    memorial:type/memorial=obelisk

    all refer to the physical aspect of the memorial.

    The suggested tag:
    memorial=war_memorial refers to the topic of the memorial

    the suggested tags
    memorial:type/memorial=stolperstein
    memorial=blue_plaque
    because they are very specific, refer to both, the physical aspect
    and the topic/scope.

    IMHO we should have distinct tags for these properties, because
    they occur indepently/are different properties.

    Cheers,
    Martin

I too would rather see separate tags for the 'use', the construction, the appearance.

Not being local to any stolperstein that has no meaning to me, I have to look it up.

A war memorial could be a plaque, an obelisk, a statue, a plate.
A plaque could be for a war, a person, a group of people, a machine, or an event. Without using another source the information in OSM for this tag is not very descriptive.
