Hi everyone, How would you tag a small building that used to be an electricity building where the army put power generators for the (backup) power of an airfield. This is not used anymore by the army. They transformed these little house to provide ideal conditions for bats to live in. (close

I don't think disused:building is the correct key. This is still a building=service, it's just being used to house bats instead of equipment. It is still a building. man_made=nesting_site is a good addition. But the current description suggests that it is "mounted on a support". Is that a

[Tagging] Clearer definition of tunnel=flooded: when should it be used instead of tunnel=yes or tunnel=culvert?

2020-03-21 Thread Joseph Eisenberg
Unfortunately the original proposal did not really define tunnel=flooded, nor did it clearly list it as a proposed new tag. Now this page says: "A long (>100m) tunnel where flowing water or other fluid prevent humans from safely walking inside" It needs to be more clear when mappers should use
