The thing with this tag is that it doesn't encapsulate the historic,
architectonic and cultural meaning of the place. It's difficult to
tag a village central fountain, with it's structure, colours, design
etc. and just tag them with drinking_water.<br>
This creates a lot of ambiguity in Portugal, since these features
are way more important than those found with lights and statues in
roundabouts and alike, due to their historic importance. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If they are of historic importance then the heritage and/or historic keys may</div><div>apply. <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:heritage">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:heritage</a> and</div><div><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic</a></div><div>Although historic=* doesn't list fountain as a core value, taginfo shows</div><div>196 historic=fountain and 119 historic=drinking_fountain.
