[Tagging] Quonset hut

I like to make an extra building key in the key:building wiki but I got 
a few questions:

1. Am I allowed to add such a key?
2. How does it work? I've never done this before so help is very much 
appreciated.
3. Maybe the most important question, which value is it gonna be? 
Quonset_hut, romney_hut or nissen_hut?

Thanks
Rene
