Proposal

In present we have not standard tags even for main of mountain landforms. Some tags are already widely used, but not documented in wiki. This proposal should solve the problem.

Rationale

landform or entity	Primitive	proposal tagging scheme (russian translation)	photo
Mountain range ru: горная цепь		Can including ridges, massifs, isolated peaks and smaller ranges. (Может включать хребты, массивы, отдельные вершины, а также более мелкие горные цепи) natural=mountain_range name=*
Massif ru: горный массив		Can including individual peaks, ridges and smaller massifs. (Может включать отдельные вершины, хребты, а также более мелкие массивы) natural=massif name=*
Ridge ru: хребет		Chain of ways (or single way) taged by natural=ridge which including nodes of peaks and passes or relation includes same ways and ways taged by natural=arete. May have branches. (Последовательность линии (или одна линия) обозначенных как natural=ridge, которые включают точки вершин и перевалов или отношение, включающее те же линии плюс линии, обозначенные как natural=arete. Может иметь ответвления) natural=ridge name=*
Arête ru: остроконечный гребень/ребро/ножи de: Grat, Kamm		Berg-Grat mit Gipfeln und Scharten, auf beiden Seiten geht es steil runter. (nicht zu verwechseln mit einem breiten Bergrücken) Way includes nodes of peaks and passes ('natural' in 'peak', 'volcano' or 'saddle'). natural=arete name=*
Cirque de: Kar		An amphitheatre-like valley formed by glacial or fluvial erosion. Relation includes ways of aretes and (optional) node of label. The label/name is placed at the centroid of the arete relation members. name=* type=cirque Members: Role Elements Recurrence Comment object one or more natural=arete label zero or one A node for manual label placement. natural=cirque Example: [relation 6648105] Nodes and ways: For ways, the label/name is placed at the centroid. natural=cirque
Cliff ru: обрыв de: Steilküste, Kliffküste		Steilküste, einseitiger senkrechter Felsabbruch, mehrere 10m hoch, dahinter flach oder leicht hügelig natural=cliff
Couloir ru: кулуар de: Couloir		eine von Felsen begrenzte und oft mit Schnee oder Eis gefüllte steile Rinne an einem Berghang oder in einer Bergwand. Merkmal: Geröll bleibt nicht liegen. natural=couloir
Peak ru: вершина de: Gipfel		Höchster Punkt eines Berges, oft mit Gipfelkreuz, Triangulationspunkt oder Steinmännchen (cairn) natural=peak ele=*
Volcano ru: вулкан	()	Was ist die "Fläche eines Vulkanes"? natural=volcano
Crater rim de: Krater-Rand		Der Kraterrand ist oft aus einem geschlossenen Grat gebildet und besteht aus Lava-Gestein. Im Inneren liegt der Krater, manchmal ein Kratersee. natural=crater_rim	File:Mount Erebus in 2009.JPG
Lava plain ru: лавовое поле		natural=lava
Glacier ru: ледник		natural=glacier name=*
Snow field ru: снежник		Area covered permanently with snow, not mighty enough to form ice. This is an actual geological term that would be more-accurate than say, the tag natural=snow. natural=snowfield name=*
Scree de: Geröllfeld ru: поверхность, покрытая камнями		Rock debris below cliffs, crags or shoulders caused by erosion natural=scree When all stones are not big and mobile. Stones move away from man steps. In Russian it is called "сыпуха". (поверхность, покрытая небольшими подвижными камнями, которые легко перемещаются под ногами человека. Не знаю как это по-английски, по-русски - "сыпуха") scree=loose or scree=mobile Stone run was formed under very special geological conditions ru: курумы scree=stone_run
Bare rock ru: голые скалы		natural=bare_rock
Single rock ru: обособленная скала		natural=rock
Cairn ru: тур		man_made=cairn
Shoulder ru: отрог		Way (not including to ridge relation) natural=ridge or natural=arete
Pass Mountain pass ru: перевал		Übergang über einen Bergrücken oder Grat, verbindet zwei Täler mit einem Fussweg oder einer Strasse. mountain_pass=yes rtsa_scale=* - Difficulty rating by Russian Tourist and Sports Association method RU:Key:rtsa scale ele=*
Notch de: Scharte		Deepest point in an arête, difficult to cross in contrast to col which is used for notches (Upper Glockner Col) as well as for saddles (South Col - Everest) Tiefpunkt auf einem Grat, zwischen zwei Gipfeln (schwierig begehbar, im Unterschied zu Sattel) natural=notch
