<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Joseph,<br><br>>That line in the wiki is wrong. It was added in 2012 by an editor who was trying to be helpful, but does not match how the tag is actually used.<br><br>The line is also present on the Wikipedia page for docks.<br><br><br>>dry docks and floating (dry) docks are tagged with waterway=dock and dock=drydock / floating - These are not areas of inland water<br><br>I would argue that the lock used to keep the ocean's water out could count as land, but regardless it is still useful to be able to differentiate between the ocean and docks.<br><br>>Sea harbours are often tagged with waterway=dock. They are not areas of inland water (the seas is mapped with natural=coastline, not natural=water)<br><br>Yes, but these are tagged incorrectly if they are not actual docks.<br><br>>Many piers are currently mapped as waterway=dock, some are even tagged with man_made=pier in addition. They are not water areas.<br><br>Yes, but as you just said, they are piers tagged as docks. Dock is not the correct tag for piers.<br><br><br>Regards,<br>-James Crawford<div style='white-space: pre-wrap'><div class='k9mail-signature'>-- <br>Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
