... on some maps.  It'll appear on others, such as:

https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=20&lat=52.0821841&lon=-4.657313 
*

I wouldn't let the fact that one map style has problems with certain 
kinds of infrastructure influence tagging.  Generally speaking mappers 
are pretty good at figuring out when a building or a landuse tag is 
needed in addition to an existing feature tag.  Outright " falsehoods to 
fool the renderer" are actually pretty rare.  Of course by all means try 
and improve the wiki page for a particular feature explaining how people 
map things (buildings vs non-buildings).  This probably means I'm 
agreeing with "4" of your list of 7, but TBH anything that improves the 
wik iand reflects current tagging would be good.

Best Regards,
Andy


* the fact that it currently appears on that map in English rather than 
Welsh is actually a bug, but that's a different issue...
