The goal of this proposal is to enhance the historic=ruins tag in order to provide more precise tagging about what type of ruins a ruin is.
The types of ruins vary hugely and are not at all captured by historic=ruins. More detail will be helpful for people interested in knowing what the ruin is e.g. castle, church, house.
Proposal
Keep the historic=ruins for any type of ruins and increase detail by using an additional, optional tag:
- ruin_type=* - Tag describing the building/man made structure type it used to be
- ruins=* - As of 05/2011 the tag ruins (excluding usage of ruins=yes) seams used a little more than ruin_type=* . We could propose this one instead of ruin_type, but the goal is the same.
- Exhaustive list : any value approved from historic=*, building=*, man_made=*, amenity=* if applicable)
