Active tanks (pay-for-ride) ?
How to map active demilitarized tanks, which one can pay to ride in (or even drive) as a tourist attraction? --mnalis (talk) 18:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- tourism=attraction obviously would fit, but no idea about more specific tagging that is also needed. ATYL? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 19:12, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- What exactly is it? Is there an area it will only drive inside? Or can you drive it everywhere from the storage or office? --- Kovposch (talk) 07:28, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Name?
Wiki says "You can also name it with name=* ... name=* - the name of this tank"?
Should name = an actual name painted on the vehicle e.g. "Mephisto" https://live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/2b5bdd4c8b808b9869d489ea825a5539 or = the type / model of tank e.g. Leopard 1? https://www.flickr.com/photos/vk2gwk/16826978500
Currently mapped both ways e.g https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/378294278, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10292826394, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/716014166 - & also as buildings! https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/202759459
I would say name should = an actual name marked on it, while tank:model= should be the actual type / model of tank.
Is everybody happy with that? --Fizzie41 (talk) 05:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Turns out this was covered under the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Manufacturer_and_Model proposal, so I'll update the page to suit --Fizzie41 (talk) 22:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Memorial?
When does a tank become a War Memorial?
Is it one if it's parked outside a Returned Servicemen's club? --Fizzie41 (talk) 05:44, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- For example, if the USA gives France one of its old tanks from World War II, which is to be permanently installed to commemorate the fight against Hitler's Germany, like this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/438188165.
