If it had said "raised walkway partially over water" or "raised walkway mostly over water" then I'd go with your interpretation. As it stands, and taken in conjunction with that first paragraph, a pier is only over water (according to the wiki). > > Similarly "bridge over river" does not mean that only part directly above > river > is a bridge, typical bridge has also parts over land. > I'm almost persuaded. But the wiki entry for bridge doesn't exclude part of it being on land in the way that the wiki definition of pier does. > > "connect the pier with other ways on land" does not imply that pier > has no section over land. > That sentence is ambiguous.

That's not what the wiki says, though. And not how the OP's example rendered. So there's a carto problem and there's a wiki problem. And I was right to map floating piers the way I did. :) -- Paul
