I'm also aware that a common recommendation is to tag them as towers, but I would not see this as a good option, for "big/high structures" we could have a basic distinction already in the main tag (and these tags are also already used), e.g. cooling_tower, chimney, dish, lighthouse, bell_tower, water_tower, flagpole etc. rather than cramming everything into a big "pre-category", which isn't useful on its own anymore because of the very broad scope. If a tower is a structure that is higher than wide, some dishes could fall out. If you require a tower is a structure where people can go into or atop, a requirement that isn't currently set but isn't completely unreasonable either, dishes would also be excluded. Cheers, Martin
