Proposal:Walk of Fame
| Walk of Fame | |
|---|---|
| Proposal status: | Draft (under way) |
| Proposed by: | Ntzm |
| Draft started: | 2026-11-03 |
Problem Statement
Current Walks of Fame are tagged mostly as tourism=attraction. I believe that this is not specific enough.
Proposal
I propose to add a new tourism=walk_of_fame tag. This could be used on nodes, areas or ways depending on how the walk of fame is laid out. It could also be used on relations where its members are artwork_type=star elements, although I don't think this proposal needs to specify this usage.
Rationale
I believe that being able to distinguish between tourism=attraction and walks of fame would be useful for data consumers, so that they can sought out by users who want to find out which famous people are from the area. Renderers could render a star icon, copying Hollywood's style.
Tagging
tourism=walk_of_fame
A Walk of Fame, usually consisting of stars embedded in a footway with famous people's names who are from the area.
Individual stars can be tagged as tourism=artwork + artwork_type=star, as documented on the artwork_type Wiki page.
Examples
- Sheffield Legends
- Hollywood's Walk of Fame
- Music Walk of Fame in Camden
Impact on Data Consumers
Some renderers render the generic tourism=attraction tag as a star. This change will likely stop them rendering.
Features/Pages affected
