it is not what it is IMHO. "place_of_worship" is misleading. "potale
du Christ" also does look like a description and not like a name. I am
also not sure if a niche in a wall meets the definition for "shrine"
(which is more something like a box I think).

Please do not bend tags in use but define your own tags where needed.

no, please give an English definition in the wiki. Linking OSM
definitions to wikipedia pages is very problematic, as this would mean
that changes to the wikipedia page will change the meaning of objects
in OSM.

cheers,
