Active tanks (pay-for-ride) ?

How to map active demilitarized tanks, which one can pay to ride in (or even drive) as a tourist attraction? --mnalis (talk) 18:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

  • tourism=attraction obviously would fit, but no idea about more specific tagging that is also needed. ATYL? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 19:12, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
  • What exactly is it? Is there an area it will only drive inside? Or can you drive it everywhere from the storage or office? --- Kovposch (talk) 07:28, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
You'd usually drive it outside, I assume on limited area and not on regular streets! For latest example that triggered this question, see facebook/website of this node --mnalis (talk) 15:22, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Name?

Wiki says "You can also name it with name=* ... name=* - the name of this tank"?

Should name = an actual name painted on the vehicle e.g. "Mephisto" https://live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/2b5bdd4c8b808b9869d489ea825a5539 or = the type / model of tank e.g. Leopard 1? https://www.flickr.com/photos/vk2gwk/16826978500

Currently mapped both ways e.g https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/378294278, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10292826394, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/716014166 - & also as buildings! https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/202759459

I would say name should = an actual name marked on it, while tank:model= should be the actual type / model of tank.

Is everybody happy with that? --Fizzie41 (talk) 05:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Turns out this was covered under the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Manufacturer_and_Model proposal, so I'll update the page to suit --Fizzie41 (talk) 22:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Memorial?

When does a tank become a War Memorial?

Is it one if it's parked outside a Returned Servicemen's club? --Fizzie41 (talk) 05:44, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
