Usage
Proposal
Many cemeteries are very big, so they are divided into sectors (sections, blocks, etc). Each sector has hundreds of graves.
The proposal is to define a tag for mapping (and rendering) cemeteries sections.
Cemetery section usually have an identifier, but can have a dedicated name.
Rationale
If you want to visit a cemetery, you would be astonished by the cemetery size and you should have a detailed map, at least at the sector level.
Tagging
- cemetery=sector
- name=[sector name]
- ref=[sector number]
Required Tagging
- cemetery=sector
Optional Tagging
- name=sector name
- ref=sector number
- start_date=YYYY-MM-DD - Date of the first burial in the section
- end_date=YYYY-MM-DD - Date of the last burial in the section
Applies to
Areas
Rendering
Dotted line with text in the middle of polygon. Text appears at zoom levels starting from 16.

- I approve this proposal. (but could be extended to cover other cemetery objects, please consider a more extensive system to cover tombs and other features) --Sarchittuorg (talk) 13:05, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. 1) Bad key. Cemetery sector is not subtype or characteristics of landuse=cemetery, so it shouldn't use cemetery=* key. 2) area=yes is not needed. This object is area by default. 3) It's not time yet to start a voting. Discussion is on, so please delay the voting for some time and listen the opinions. --Surly (talk) 18:19, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. for the same reasons (1 & 2) as Surly --Escada (talk) 09:00, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. We need this tag but "area=yes" is not required. And it should be possible to use it as a node as well (when the sector boundary is fuzzy or unknown). I have no problem with the key itself and can be extended to other cemetery stuff later. But you move too fast on the adoption process. It will succeed only if you take into account the feedbacks. --Pieren (talk) 09:13, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. I think the same as Pieren --Foxxi59 (talk) 11:48, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- I have comments but abstain from voting on this proposal. I'm not into cemetery tagging, so I won't oppose it. But I see two problems with the proposal:
- The tag area=yes is unnecessary, as was already mentioned.
- cemetery=sector is not a good key, in my opinion. Such keys are usually used to specify more precisely what kind of cemetery it is.
- I would recommend subclass-keys, which are used within the area tagged with landuse=cemetery
- cemetery:sectorname=[name]
- cemetery:sectorref=[ref]
- Just my thoughts. Maybe it would be better to go back to RFC for some time. --Imagic (talk) 13:22, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

- I approve this proposal. The hierarchical "cemetery" key might not be ideal, but until someone offers a better suggestion I support this one. --Tordanik 18:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- I approve this proposal. I agree with Pieren's idea: this tag should be applied to nodes as well. --kisaa (talk) 01:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. Good idea, but... key "name" is a bad idea as anything has a kind of name, but is not further specific. Area is implicit, isn't it? I think even a single node make sense. I support cemetery:xxx=yyy tagging scheme. --EinKonstanzer (talk) 20:55, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Preliminary results
There were the following comments after RFC:
- Bad key
- cemetery:xxx=yyy suggested
- area=yes is not required (accepted)
- some comments against allowing "name"
- allow applying to points
There was a fair amount of support for this proposal as is. I don't know how to proceed. Should we organize voting for each of these suggestions? Or voting overall?
Voting for "bad key" (cemetery:xxx=yyy) means we should start from the scratch. While "name" and "points" are trivial.

I do not agree to add "Bad key". This proposal is OK and it is already implemented on many cemeteries. Thus, the vote should be accepted positively, not delayed indefinitely. --Władysław Komorek (talk) 09:16, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
