Talk:Tag:brand=Changing Places

Not used tag

The Wiki describes used tags, see Disclaimer and Creating a page describing key or value. This tag is not used in the database, so it shouldn't be on the Wiki. maro21 17:45, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

If it's really a company - it should be capitalized. What is the website of this company? This article is completely unredable for me. maro21 21:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

We can discuss about the capitalization; I don't really care about that ;) . I also apologize if the page wasn't easy to read. I've added some information; please let me know if things are still unclear. It is indeed a bit a weird page, because it also explains why a certain way of tagging is _not_ possible. I've also added an overpass-script to show that there indeed are quite some Changing Places mapped around the world, though in a very haphazard way, so there really is a need for this. --Pietervdvn (talk) 21:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• The article is too long.

There is no restriction on wiki page length. I think all the parts in here are necessary to understand the context of this type of amenity. --Pietervdvn (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

• The article should describe not "Changing Places" [whatever it is] but the TAG and how it's used and together with which tags. On the page key:dog we don't describe dogs.

But amenity=bench, amenity=bank, amenity=drinking_water all do. We need a clear definition on what something is in order to know when to add a tag or not. --Pietervdvn (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

• It doesn't look like a brand to me. From what I understood, it is some kind of certification given to toilets that meet some kind of standard. In my opinion [brand] doesn't fit here. See how other articles describing brands look: Category:Tag descriptions for key "brand". maro21 16:14, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

This is a valid critique. From a pragmatic point of view, I did opt for brand=changing place, because it somewhat feels like this and allows for some uniformity in tagging - it is better then the current practice of stuffing the "changing place" in tags such as name, description, note, note:wheelchair, or any variation of that. I would love to have something as certificate=* for this, but this type of tag does AFAIK not exist. (Even though, technically, the certificate would be UK centric). I'm open for suggestions and will gladly retag everything when a more appropriate tag is found. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. --Pietervdvn (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
