Using - instead of _ goes against a very established tagging practice. Only for whitespace as far as I know. So I don't see a issue here. I would even say using _ is wrong. e_cigarette = e cigarette e-cigarette = e-cigarette The wiki page is very recent with only two contributors. I

Apparently there is no consensus what to use to indicate reverse vending machines (RVM). I feel like this would be so much simpler if the amenity tag was not limited to vending_machines. In Germany everything is just called Automat. - cigarettes = Zigarettenautomat - parcel = Paketautomat

Since when do we use ways for landuse=* ? Also I have not found a single one that is tagged like you say. They are all areas. Why multipolygons? Typical area with various church thingies (church, vicarage etc) is not requiring multypolygon - it is usually may be represented by a simple

this is just a polygon around a church yard, with the rest of the buildings and amenities inside. EXCEPT it does NOT say church yard but religious landuse. So this is how I would use this tag: http://i.imgur.com/KZvkB3i.png __ openstreetmap.org/user/AndiG88

fitness_centre:access=__membership, fitness_centre:access=club? private? Or have something like fitness_centre=yes? (Not sure as we already have sport=*) Why complicate things? I think a simple access=private (or maybe access=membership) should be enough. Thought about that, too.

What’s leisure time? It’s 5:30am here and I’m about to head to the gym, like I do most days. The leisure tag is for places people go in their spare time. So I'd say that's exactly what you are doing. You are not at work or on holidays. You could just as much edit OpenStreetMap or pursue any

I like the idea of tagging the clubs's entire property as leisure=sports_centre + sport=rowing, and additionally sport=fitness (or sport=gymnastics) to the building or room dedicated to that. But I wouldn't tag it as a leisure=sports_centre on its own. It is only part of the surrounding

Water fountains, benches, parking, etc. aren't tagged any different just because they are located inside a sports centre. But are people searching for that the same way? If I look for stuff like that I'm probably somewhere outside and just look what's near me. Then I probaby realize pretty

I wonder how we can tag fitness center attributes, such as pool, steam, sauna/ etc. They very all over the place. Being able do documenting features would allow health clubs sites to be included. I would see this as a 2nd step, for the start I would really just like to be able to tag this in

Restaurants only serve meals, it is not possible to go there and only have a drink. That really depends on the restaurant. A at least in Bavaria there are a lot of traditional restaurants where you can just get a beer. Also very common when they are next to sports clubs. __
