This is all 100% new to me. Where is it documented that a
"shop" in a detached house should be mapped as a detached
house, and not a shop? Where is the notion of "architectural
origins" documented. </div>

<p>(which is the first page that I got when I searched the wiki for
"building") has a prominent example "Tenement house containing a
church, it is still building=apartments not building=church" (one
of the pictures on the right; the one below it is the opposite
situation).<br>

<p>No. The wiki is maintained by volunteered on a "best efforts"
basis, by human beings who may not have the same vision of what
keys are used for. That's why you'll see discussion on this list
and other places saying things like "someone has changed wiki page
X to say Y, which is wrong".</p>
<p>Sometimes there are long threads discussing exactly what people
in different places mean by a certain form of tagging -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/use-of-bicycle-designated-vs-bicycle-yes-outside-of-germany/3230">https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/use-of-bicycle-designated-vs-bicycle-yes-outside-of-germany/3230</a>
is a recent example. No-one there is "wrong", because they're
explaining how they use that tag and how other people use it
locally to them.<br>
