[Tagging] How to map terrace buildings with names

[Skyler Hawthorne]

I settled on using building:part=house for the individual houses and 
wrapping the whole building with building=terrace. I think this makes more 
sense anyway, tagging the individual houses as part of the larger building. 
Thanks for pointing me to building:part=*!

In general, how should one approach making an edit to the wiki? If I wanted 
to suggest this approach in the wiki, should I start a separate email 
thread to discuss this tagging scheme before editing the wiki page?
