[Tagging] Confectionery shops

Dear all, Currently, we have the following confectionery related tags: * shop=confectionery (12045 instances) * shop=chocolate (730 instances) * shop=pastry (708 instances) How should we tag a shop selling cakes? A shops selling croissants and cinnamon rolls? A shop focussed on chocolate, but

Re: [Tagging] path=hiking in use

I disagree. If we use something specific like footway=hiking then that implies the path is only for hiking. It's a path. Its purpose is for whatever you want to do. highway=path perfectly encapsulates the idea "there is a path here". 'hiking' could be used as a tag on a route, which is a set
