[talk-au] Next tagging clean up project

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Folks,

 

I am looking for my next tagging clean-up project and wondered about amenity
and building tags for fire stations

 

amenity=fire_station -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfire_station -
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1mAq

 

building=fire_station -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dfire_station -
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1mAr

 

This is partly in response to an issue logged for the ID editor requesting a
preset for fire stations buildings.

 

https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/pull/603

 

There is already an ID preset for 'Fire Station' that uses the
amenity=fire_station key/value but it did get me looking at the differences
and how its been applied in Australia. There is a clear mix of buildings and
amenity tagging on both station areas and buildings, and some with both
tags!

tation#combinations

 

Should it always be the case that the 'plot' on which the fire station
building resides is the 'amenity' and the 'building' should be separate
within the plot? To me, its not 100% clear in the wiki's.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers - Phil
