Ok, I'll do

update the wiki with this info too.

Great!Thanks

>> 3) I wanted to add my favorite comic books shop, I see only shop:books
which would make it. As comics are famous in Belgium, is there something
else?

>>
>> 4) In OSM inspector I see that way_id : 233946835 is reported as error
because it has no tags. I see that it is the inside of a school. I thought
of creating a multipolygon with the external border and this way as the
internal border, is this the right way?

> The reason is exactly that, it's a way without a tag, e.g. you're not
telling what it is.  By the looks of this, it's mean as an area.  So the
very least it should have a area=yes tag on it to valdate.    But what is
it really ?  What is this suppose to represent and why does it have to be a
mulipolygon ?

If I understand well this is the playground of a school, I thought of a
multipolygon because I looked at how other buildings with a hole were
mapped. But as I don't understand yet when to use a multipolygon I may be
wrong!

>> It is a big group of questions, I hope this is the right way to interact
with the mailing list.
