[OSM-talk] Tag:manhole=telecom

[Tom Pfeifer]

Dear 80hnhtv4agou,

As OpenStreetMap is a worldwide project, we have to agree on a tagging scheme for an object that
is worldwide comprehensible.

We prefer to use the same tag for the same kind of thing.

Thus we prefer not to introduce synonyms or regional variations.

To make a feature be found more easily, "related terms" can be added in the wiki.

In the particular case, some friendly colleague has already added ‹ buried cable enclosure ›
to the manhole=telecom wiki page.

Kind regards
Tom
