[Tagging] graves and relations

[Anne-Karoline Distel]

Hello all,

I understand tomb/ tombstone issue; I was just pointing out that the
plugin provides continuation to a deprecated tag.

To be able to map several people on a tombstone/ memorial, I would think
that a relation type=memorial would be an option, with as many people as
needed in it. This would help with World War 1 and 2 (spoken from a
European perspective) memorials which can have too many names on them to
fit in the inscription field. It would also make it possible to link
individuals to their wikidata/ wikipedia. It would also still allow for
the use of the relation type=person. I think it would be better than
name=, alt_name=, alt_name2= etc.

It was pointed out to me that it might also be useful for benches with
little memorial plaques on them.

Does that make sense? It would still only be one node for the tombstone
or a way for the larger memorial. Is that technically possible?
