Talk:Key:denomination
What is the best way to indicate rites? I've given "maronite" and "melkite" as such, but what of Slovak or Hungarian rites? All four (and more, such as Syriac and Antiochean rites) are present in Montreal and it feels to me that a mere denomination=catholic, as I've used for the generic French- and English-speaking parishes in the diocese would be misleading...

I think denomination=roman_catholic might be better since all churches claim to be catholic with a small c. -- Ed Avis <eda@waniasset.com>

Diocese
An important attribute for a Roman Catholic parish is what diocese it belongs to; for instance, Saint Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn, New York belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. In this particular instance, I've used is_in=diocese. Thoughts on the appropriateness of this usage? --Ceyockey 03:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Rendering of denomination jehovas_witness
This denomination does not use the cross as a symbol, a neutral/default symbol seems more appropriate.
Haredi
religion=jewish, denomination=ultra_orthodox
- See wikipedia:Haredi - might be better as denomination=haredi
What's the best way to tag a Christian church shared between two or more denominations? Are multiple denomination tags appropriate:
- religion=christian
- denomination=anglican
- denomination=methodist
or a semicolon-separated list
- religion=christian
- denomination=anglican;methodist
JOSM's validator objects to the latter, by the way. Tonywalton 21:57, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- Multiple use of same tag is currently not allowed by the system (AFAIK), so it must be semicolon=separated list --Skippern 22:33, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. Tonywalton 08:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Nondenominational
Should probably be changed to denomination=non-denominational as that is the value that's used 85 times in the database (see taginfo). There is only one use of "nondenominational". I opened a trac ticked for JOSM as their validator only support "nondenominational" as currently written here.
Subdenominations
In Germany there are several subdenominations to the denomination=evangelical.
| frei-evangelisch |
| freikirchlich-evangelisch |
| evangelisch-freikirchlich |
| ... |
I will tag subdenominations with evangelical=freikirchlich-evangelisch.

- Wenn es um Deutschland geht, dann informiere Dich bitte über den Unterschied von "Evangelikal" und "Evangelisch" - Er ist groß!
missionary church of kopimism
What about the missionary church of kopimism?
- Don't ask. Propose and use a value.
