In order to avoid repeating ourselves again in a year: should I add a
note to the wiki page of `amenity=drinking_water` that this tag is
discouraged?
I’m all for tagging details, and if someone wants to add man_made or other tags to an
amenity=drinking_water he should do it, but I don’t want to require it. (We’re using
“fountain=<type>” around here to tag subtypes of drinking fountains)
amenity=drinking_water works for me, and it is widely in use, to discourage its
use in the wiki you would need more than a discussion of a handful of people on
this list.
The tag amenity=drinking_water is non specific, it could be a spring, a stream,
a pool. I view it as similar to highway=road.
The man_made=tap,drinking_fountain, well stand by themselves. They do not need
amenity=drinking_water, and suggesting that amenity=drinking_water
should be included with them is wrong. Rendering of these man_made tags is a
separate issue and should not determine the tags used.
