I did read the description closely, and what I said still applies:
in Portugal it is a fountain in the way it is described in Britain,
an amenity=fountain with no drinking water.<br>
That's what I'm trying to explain from the beginning: it doesn't
matter if it has drinking water or not, it will always be a
fountain. But in the cases (the majority of them) that they have, we
should be allowed to apply the drinking_water=yes, regardless if in
Britain that's not the case. <br>
This way, everyone is happy: you still call it fountain in Britain,
and I still call it fountain in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal or
wherever, with the difference that the chance of them having potable
water is higher.<br>

If you come to Portugal and want to find drinkin water,
you should know that most fountains have drinking water,
like I need to know the opposite when I go to the UK.<br>

<div>If you had read the description closely, you'd have been

<div> it was originally a decorative drinking fountain.
Current legislation means that</div>
<div> the water is no longer considered potable so it is now

<div> That's all I was ever saying: amenity=fountain doesn't
imply the water is</div>
<div>drinkable because the tag values are in British English.
If it also supplies</div>
<div>drinking water then add drinking_water=yes. If there is
no drinking_water</div>
<div>tag then the default is that it is not drinkable. That
way we have a standard</div>
<div>way of tagging things.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may also need to make use of drinking_water:legal=no
on some</div>
<div>fountains. I wouldn't use it myself because it implies
the water is</div>
<div>drinkable but not certified as drinkable and I'd be
worried about the</div>
<div>legal consequences of making such a claim.<br>
