Martin, I don't know which dictionary you referred to or otherwise what your frame of reference is, but I (as a Brit) do not recognise the qualifications you mention. Many outdoor sports clubs will have a building (or part thereof) which everyone calls "the pavilion," and I know quite a few which are both multi-storey and/or rectangular. Sleeping possibilities? Possibly in a medical centre? These days the word "pavilion" refers mainly to the use to which the building is put (dressing rooms, refreshments etc., especially for the participants), rather than it being an obvious architectural style.

Generally, a pavilion will only have one floor (no basement, no upper floors), will usually have sleeping possibilities, will not be big. MIght also be just a roof. I am not completely sure about this being a requirement, but I would expect it to be a central-plan building (square, polygonal or round, not a long and narrow rectangle).

It is correct. For small values of correct. There are many meanings of "pavilion" but in the UK (remember, OSM uses British English) "pavilion", without qualification or context, would most probably bring to mind a sports pavilion of some sort. More specifically, a cricket pavilion. The wikipedia article mentions sports pavilions and cricket pavilions. Firstly, the usage in the wiki isn't incorrect. Secondly, building=pavilion has mostly been used for sports pavilions, so it's too late to redefine it. All that could be done is deprecate it and offer sports_pavilion as well as other types of pavilions as alternatives. Good luck with that. Thirdly, in the sense you want to use it, almost anything could qualify. A garage. A garden shed. A dog kennel. Best to let sleeping dogs lie in their pavilions. -- Paul ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
