well, it is clearly defined on the page you mentioned as a Burg that later was transformed into a Schloss and therefore has characteristics of both. It is clearly defined and IMHO much clearer than the castle_type=residential you suggest. > Not at all. As there is a 1:1 English replacement for every German term, it Roman already told you at the time that there is no 1:1 English replacement. That's why he suggested the german terms. > can be switched to alternate terms easily without any loss of information. but you do like russian and japanese terms, or why didn't you "translate" shiro and kremlin? You are complaining about people sneaking stuff into the wiki, but you are the one doing this: after quite a lot of time (and tagging, this is tagwatch for castle_type: Schloss (77), Burg (68), burg (6), Burg, Schloss (5), schloss (4), Herrenhaus (3), Wasserburg (2), chateau (1), citadelle (1), fort (1), kremlin (1) ), a nice wikipage with pictures, etc. the only effort you do is to add confusion by simply adding your own private favorite tags below the old ones. I ask you to remove them there at least until there is some more conclusion in this discussion. You could set up your own alternative castle_type-page, but simply putting them there is really not good style.
