[Talk-transit] Tagging of railway station

[Copro Grammes]

Thank you for your answers.

I was also inclined to add railway=station tag to a node rather than to an area. But some French mappers advocate for the 'area' solution, contrary to the former version of the wiki, and I've begun to hesitate between both the approaches.
So I was hoping this debate could be settled, but currently this is clearly not the case... Doesn't this matter interest anybody else ? Or doesn't anybody else have an opinion about this question ?


>This problem is not know (see place=*). We even already have an
solution: role "label".

The role "label" could be interesting, but how can we use it ?
Did you mean we could create a label relation [1] ? Or did you mean we should add a node with the role "label" to the stop_area relation which would be tagged railway=station (but the stop_area could also contain a bus station, a subway station, etc.) ?

>For new created objects I only use the new scheme but I do not delete
the older tags if already tagged but only add the new ones.
So I think it means you add the "public_transport=station" tag to the same node/area which was already tagged "railway=station" (as Roland did), doesn'it ?

Cheers,
Zigeuner
