This other fountain doesn't have such wall, thus it is not decorative <br>

<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>this other fountain happens to be decorated as well. Let's ignore this for a moment, and assume it wasn't. It could still be a decorative fountain, if it can be seen as street decor. Setting up a fountain requires some effort, so there will usually be a purpose, even if it isn't necessary now as it was when it was constructed. I would generally see amenity=fountain applicable for any fountain that is not only a drinking fountain and that is not set up as a watering place for animals only.<br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

The shape and use of these two fountains looks the same to me.<br>
Why would you tag them as different features?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I wouldn't<br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I'm not necessarily saying they need to be tagged as amenity=fountain, <br>
but I would expect their main tagging to be the same and maybe differ in <br>
some secondary parameter.</blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>maybe, if you come up with an idea about these secondary parameters, we can discuss them.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Martin<br></div></div>
