"I tagged some abandoned building in my native city with
abandoned:building=yes"

I think it is mistake. abandoned: prefix makes sense for things like
shops where there is a fundamental difference between active shop (POI
- it is possible to buy something there or provides some services).

abandoned:shop, abandoned:amenity is solely an orientation point.

In case of buildings there is no such fundamental difference between
used and unused one.
