Hi, I don't see justification to edit it widely in the wiki without prior discussion, but I oppose your interpretation of this conflicting with the "one feature, one osm element" principle.
In fact a shop is a different entity than a building. A shop can move to another building while staying the same shop. A shop can close and therefore vanish without the building to vanish, and a new shop, cafe, restaurant or whatever; entirely independent from the old shop can open in the same building later. The building is still the same, the old one. The shop didn't change, it's a different shop now. On top of that a building may have offices on the first floor additionally to the shop in the basement, or even flats or appartments - which are possible to map as well. Therefore yes, I see a justification for that way of tagging; but I don't see any justification to change the wiki without broad discussion about it. regards Peter Am 04.06.2014 18:43, schrieb Andrew Hain: > Over the past few days there have been a number of wiki edits (mainly but > not entirely in German) stating that shop=* and similar tags, contrary to > the “One feature, one OSM element” principle [1], should only ever be put > on nodes and not on building polygons.
