[Tagging] Amphitheatre or outdoor non-sports venue

[johnw]

after searching the wiki for the correct spelling of amphitheatre (oops),  I found: 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtheatre <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=theatre>

"For tagging amphitheatres <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitheatre>, open-air or outdoor theatres, the Talk page <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity%3Dtheatre#open_air_theatre> suggests using theatre:type <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:theatre:type&action=edit&redlink=1>=amphi <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:theatre:type%3Damphi&action=edit&redlink=1>.” 


*sigh*  what is an Amphi? theatre:type=amphitheatre makes more sense, and the other types I suggest would be :type=natural and :type=stage. 

looking for input on how to reconcile arts_centre and theatre.
