Talk:Tag:entrance=shop
Work around relations?
When I map a shop, I do so as a node. The node is inside the boundaries of a building. Recently, a shop covers the whole ground floor of the multi-storey building. I put the shop close to where the shop entrance is, this feels a bit ugly. What if I'd like to map both entrances: the shop's one (shop), and the staircase one (main)? That reminded me of: When I map an outdoor seating, I do so as a node or as an area. I add "operator=Name of restaurant|bar|etc" to its list of tags and consider myself a good citizen. It is ugly to parse, of course, and may prove fragile to maintain, but I do not think so far. Would that make sense for shop entrances too?--Hungerburg (talk) 22:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- For such detail I would consider highway=corridor line between entrance and shop node Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Connecting entrances to shop nodes with corridors is what I often do. This especially makes sense when there are several shops behind one entrance. However various editors, especially iD, consider it to be an error. iD would say to any passerby user that a shop node "should be a standalone point" and display a button to disconnect the node from the corridor. --Anton Khorev (talk) 13:43, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Only for shops?
Maybe we could clarify the definition. For instance, is it okay to tag the entrance of a restaurant or a pharmacy as entrance=shop or are we expected to keep a clear line between "shops" and other businesses? Bxl-forever (talk) 10:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- For start, pharmacy is also a shop, just selling medicines. In general, I would use it also for restaurants (unless it is also main entrance, for example when building houses only restaurant) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 13:48, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I also do this. ;-) I will clarify to rule to avoid that an over-zealous mapper would erase them because the POI behind it is not in the shop=* category. It’s based on personal experience of too often having to clean damage made by people blindly following something they read on the wiki. Bxl-forever (talk) 18:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- I think it's possible to decide like this: Imagine that the shop is closed. Would you still say that this entrance is a shop entrance? For pharmacies the answer is usually yes. --Anton Khorev (talk) 15:01, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
