[OSM-talk] Correct tagging of church grounds

[Gregory]

My only thought would be tag as much as you can (carpark, graveyard,
buildings, paths, are all quite big) which will give an idea of what's the
space been used as.
Perhaps the remaining space could be tagged as some green landuse(I assume
it has grass & trees), although you want to avoid people going there to play
football. So why not propose something a new tag for it.
