[talk-au] Water tanks as buildings?

[Adam Horan]

Water tanks are a pain to tag, especially large ones that you'd like to be
represented clearly on the map.

I've done, this which gives you a visual indication of the size of the
tank: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47785839
building = storage_tank
content = water
man_made = storage_tank

I've also done this, which gives you an invisible way and a puny little
water tank symbol in the middle. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/968604177

area = yes
content = water
man_made= storage_tank

But small residential ones probably don't deserve mapping, however if
people are happy to map small garden sheds then it's not much different to
map these...
