+/- website Description Specifying the link to the official website for a feature. Group Annotation Element help Useful combination name=* Tools for this tag Combinations worldwide in Australia/Oceania in Europe (list) in Asia (list) in Central America (list) in South America (list) in Africa (list)  (via overpass turbo - help)

The website=* tag can be used to provide the full URL to the official website for the related features, be it a building, park railway or anything else. A link to an relevant but unofficial alternative or additional resource can be created using url=*. A link to Wikipedia should use wikipedia=* (do however note the different format for wikipedia links which are not full URLs).

For small format websites (designed for smaller displays, reduced bandwidth, or mobile touchscreens) use website:mobile=*.

Avoid long URLs

Use as short an URL as possible. Choose simple URLs over complex URLs if they basically point to the same content. For example, use http://bahn.de instead of http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml, as both will get you to the front page.
