The wiki has no entry that I see for a key value of “shelter:type”. But I think 
you are correct that it seems to be more logical and in keeping with current 
new tag standards to use the hierarchical form.

I suppose we could change this “how do I tag” thread into a “should we revise 
the wiki to show (and prefer) ‘shelter:type’ over ‘shelter_type’”.

I have an allergic reaction to “bikeshedding”, so I will probably just 
listen/watch on that. In the meantime, I think I’ll tag the palapa locations on 
that beach using both forms:

building=roof
roof:material=thatch
amenity=shelter
shelter_type=sun_shelter
shelter:type=sun_shelter

Though having “shelter” in both the key and the value seems redundant too. It 
would make more sense to have the value simply be “sun”. Yet another item to 
bikeshed. :)

And I wonder what the two instances of shelter:type=seaside_shelter are 
representing. The satellite view[1] indicates that it might fit the description 
in Wikipedia for a palapa, though not the umbrella shaped ones I posted links 
to earlier.

Cheers!
