</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">You should abstain from using specific
religious terms like "holy" and "paganism".<br>
To my honest opinion the existing tagging schemes and
attribution for amenity=place_of_worship combined with
tourist=attraction offer enough flexibility and most of all
neutrality in the religious context to suite your needs.<br>
Of course there are numerous wells across the world with either
a religious significance (sometimes the same well is significant
in different religions or to different denominations). Some have
significance for tourism purposes, others might be preferred by
the worshippers, to be accessible only in a more private
context.<br>
Please read through the related wiki pages, to my opinion very
detailed and of high quality to address your local specific
needs and offering enough variation for any religious or tourist
related significance. You can extend them to suite your specific
needs, I personally see no need for a new key or value for this
purpose or revert to a proposal if you feel you need broader
confirmation from the community. Do respect neutrality in the
additions or modifications.<br>

<p>I understand it's a bit of a tricky one. Wishing wells/
fountains mostly used by tourists should not count, because
there is not an established religion behind that thinking of
leaving a coin for good luck. They are all votive offerings
though, no matter if they are rags or coins or whatever else
people leave there (probably masks now, I haven't been to a site
since lockdown).</p>
<p>Good rule of thumb: If it has a saint's name attached, it's a
holy well. Or rather "holy well".<br>

<div>Interesting idea.</div>
<div>But difficult to define.</div>
<div>There is a wide spectrum from really sacred places, like
chapels with a spring inside to the wells or fountains where
people go with plastic bottles <br>

<div>to collect "good" or "healthy" water.and the wells that
tourists fill with coins (no drinking water there).<br>

<div>I would rather see this somehow under the tourism tent -
pilgrimage is the original form of tourism.</div>

I propose a tag for holy wells, one of the reasons being
that my local<br>
council wants them mapped and I've been trying to convince
them to use<br>
OSM for a while. Also, because it would entice rural mappers
to get<br>
started and because they play a role in tourism (if you
count pilgrimage<br>
as tourism).<br>

I'm especially interested in other religions' perspective,
but I don't<br>
know if this phenomenon exists outside Christianity and
Paganism.<br>
