<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Landuse=religious is not quite right,
since the hussainia is more a cultural event than anything
religious.<br>
<br>
I think I would prefer a neutral terms for the amenity (yes, its
an amenity) like <br>
<br>
amenity=community_centre (Description A place mostly
used for local events, festivities and group activities.
)<br>
<br>
Nonetheless, an area of landuse=religious could include an
amenity=community_centre<br>
<br>
It is a special kind of community centre, which is covered by the
key 'type'.<br>
<br>
type=husainiya<br>
type=hussainia <br>
type=ashurkhana<br>
type=imambargah<br>
<b><br>
</b>I am a little concerned that there are different terms for the
amenity in different countries. <br>
We try to use English terms where possible, but I doubt its
possible in this case.<br>
So I accept an Arabic term, but which one...<br>
Is there one spelling or one term which the entire Islamic world
would understand? I need help on this.<br>
On the other hand, close enough is acceptable. <br>
<br>
<br>
OSM is liberal on tagging rules but I would modify the proposed
keys. I'd rather see the existing keys 'event', 'access' and
'frequency' being re-used here.<br>
<br>
'event' key is used for earthquakes mainly, but it seems to work
for this purpose.<br>
<br>
'access' is used about 10 million times as a key, so its very
standard. I'm proposing three new values, but they are useful for
some other amenities and places of worship too<br>
<br>
'frequency' is used about 1.2 million times, so its standard too.
"intermittent" and "weekly" already exist as values. "allyear" is
new.<br>
<br>
So this is what I would support.<br>
<br>
amenity=community_centre<br>
type=husainiya<br>
event=muharram <br>
access=maleonly | femaleonly | maleandfemale <br>
frequency= intermittent | weekly| allyear<br>

God that tag is so ***** stupid. I still don't understand why we
let a dozen people push this tag when nobody knows how to use it
not even those who suggestet it thmselves. Half of them just seem
to be a replacement for church yard...
