which to me seems a pretty self explanatory tag to
indicate a somehow permanent presence of lifeguards with
some infrastructure. The wiki says it is in proximity to
the water surface it is guarding. The other tag is
emergency=lifeguard_base with 240 uses and defined as the
"main building" where the administrative work gets done
and equipment and vehicles are "stored". <br>
</div>
<div>
<div>I do not think we should merge those former 2 tags,
they are both documented and clearly describe something
very different. I agree the decision to
use emergency=lifeguard_base for the office and storage
building could be questioned, regarding the word
"lifeguard base" (which to me suggests a place where
lifeguards operate / supervise, not where they do the
paperwork, as it is intended according to the wiki) and
maybe also regarding the choice of "emergency" as a key,
although this could be argumented because they are part
of "emergency" services somehow. <br>

Maybe I do see a clear separation in the wiki pages. It is a very
unpractical one, though. In most cases I know a Water Rescue Station
and a Lifeguard Base would share the same facility with the same
people manning them. And checking some sample usages I strongly
suspect that most tagged Lifeguard Bases should rather be Water
Rescue Stations or sometime even Lifeguard Towers or Platforms. When
looking for the emergency relevant facility you would rather look
for the rescue station than for the admin building, wouldn't you?<br>

<div>to me this looks like a clear tag, and I see no benefit
in changing this to 2 tags like emergency=lifeguard and

<div>Maybe it's better to just introduce a new
emergency=lifeguard in addition to the existing
emergency=lifguard_base, that way Bryan can offer that
in iD and existing tags, data consumers and wiki
doesn't need to be changed. It's a non-breaking change
then instead of a breaking change.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">as the lifeguard base is defined for
storage and administration, it doesn't seem to fit with the
expectations one would have from a potential new
emergency=lifeguard. </div>

I don't see why the expectation should be different since Lifeguard
Base already is under the emergency category. I would concur putting
it under office might make more sense.<br>
