Hi, brianh and I have done a fair bit of rationalisation of the tagging of these over the last few months. It has now reached a stability point where I am up against the limit of my knowledge of the mid-sized and smalles religious groups.
1. All known Church of Ireland objects are now tagged denomination=anglican and anglican=Church of Ireland. 2. All known Roman Catholic objects are now tagged denomination=roman_catholic - I've been able to retire denomination=catholic ***Note that many denominations see themselves as catholic, without being Roman Catholic***. There are still a few hundred Roman Catholic churches tagged as builidng=yes. 3. Holy wells, mass rocks and the like. These are predominantly Roman Catholic, but possibly with pagan origins. How should they be tagged? amenity=place_of_worship doesn't sit well. 4. Some objects have dual tagging, e.g. religion=christian;pagan or denomination=protestant;roman_catholic Are people happy to have such tagging? 5. Many religious-run schools do not have the religion or denomination tagged. 6. There are a variety of community centres mapped, ranging for parish halls, church halls to Orange Halls, Legion of Mary, etc. Are amenity=community_centre and religion=* the right tags to use? Some community centres are not religious, e.g. council operated, and some religious buildings should / shouldn't be amenity=community_centre. 7. There are multifaith and interdenominational tags available. Use of denomination=protestant is probably to be discouraged, but there are a few hard cases, e.g. cemetery chapels. 8. There are religion=no, religion=none and denomination=none tags. Should these tags be rationalised or otherwise tidied up? 9. There are some religion=unknown and denomination=unknown objects where I haven't been able to determine things, despite desktop investigations. 10. Subject specific question. There are several methodist=* and presbyterian=* sub-groups. Could someone help me define these? 11. Subject specific question. Are denomination=pentecostal and denomination=elim_pentecostal the same thing? 12. Subject specific question. Are denomination=plymouth_brethren and denomination=brethren the same thing? 13. Subject specific question. Are denomination=independent and denomination=independent_evangelical the same thing? 14. There are quite a few 'Fellowship' and similar churches around. What might suitable tagging for denomination=* be? 15. Graveyards are cemeteries that are attached to a religious building. I have generally tagged graveyards with the same religion=* and denomination=* details, but **only if they are integrated**. Is this acceptable? In some areas, disused religious graveyards have been taken over by councils. 16. Many cemeteries are run by councils. Individual sections may be allocated to specific groups. I am not tagging religion=* and denomination=* unless I have specific knowledge. Lists of tags below with quantities. Anything with an arrow <---------------- could do with being looked at.
