Village signs seem to be only patchily tagged, so I'm considering
filling in a few round here. Before I do, though, I wanted to ask
whether there was a consensus tagging schema (or whether we could agree
one if not)...
I've found quite a few tagged with
man_made=village_sign
though this value is not listed in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:man%20made?uselang=en
Many have
name=*
which seems reasonable, though I do slightly worry that it might end up
with villages being labelled on the map with their name several times!
Some also have
tourism=artwork
though perhaps this is a bodge to get something to render on the default
map? See e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6341816268
There are also a selection of other tags
colour=*
material=* (typically "wood" or "metal")
description=*
and probably others, I haven't done an exhaustive search.

Cheers,
John
