Talk:Key:bench

Don't add capacity:seats

The tag capacity:seats=* is defined as: "describes the maximum seat capacity a facility hold, when this is different than the general capacity=*. This tag is added to a main feature which has a defined maximum seated capacity..." - examples listed include restaurants and other public facilities which might have a legal max seated capacity and also a legal max standing capacity, for fire department purposes perhaps. --Jeisenbe (talk) 21:08, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

About how amenity is used

(Please understand that English is not my native language.)
In the East, even simple structures often have a floor.
For example, even with 'gazebo', in the West, there are cases where people stand on their feet and sit down with a chair, but in the East, there are cases where they stand on their feet and spread the floor so that they can sit and rest.
Therefore, I think this tag should be changed to 'chair or floor' or an expression method considering the East should be added.

"In the East, even simple structures often have a floor" the same is true in West. Note that this tag is not marking possibility of sitting, it is marking specific structure. Please invent new tag if you want it to use for that purpose. Please do not use bench=yes where no bench exists. @Adreamy: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 06:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments.

I guess my explanation was a bit lacking.

What I meant by that was that it was common in the East to lay the floor, just as in the West to put a chair.

In other words, just as the presence or absence of a chair is one of the factors that determine the character of a feature in the West, the floor is a factor that determines the character of a feature in the East.

And this is not simply the difference between whether the floor has a floor or not, but it will be a difference in what the floor is used for.

A floor that can be stepped on in the West = Earthen floor in the East

In the West, chairs and tables = In the East, a floor that people can sit on

I think this is the difference. --dreamy(깨몽) (talk) 09:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

In such case feel free to invent/use seating=* or similar. But please, do not map benches where they do not exist. There other similar equivalents, for example in USA baseball has the same role as soccer in Europe. This would not justify mapping baseball pitches as sport=soccer @Adreamy: Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 15:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
