Talk:Key:confession times

Key Name

I suggest the key service_times:confession. And although I am no stranger to Bible quotations, I would also prefer a description without them. User 5359 (talk) 16:41, 8 February 2022

The subkey you suggested is an option. Here I am running into the same problem as with the page mass_times, which I also created. You might want to take a look at that discussion. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:mass_times. Here is a quote from that discussion that explains my concerns with that. "the world's widely varying belief systems all have very different events which cannot be classified as "services", and may object to them being called "services". And many would object to being lumped into a generic classification. Besides, if you peruse the tags listed on taginfo, the key service_times=* is being used from everything from to mail collection to rubbish collection. I think there should be specific keys for religious services. In any event, why should the world's major belief systems not have separate top-level keys? Major belief systems are a large part of society and really should be treated specially in my view. The problem is that everyone is doing these times a different way and I just picked one of them to create the wiki. That was my idea. I am sorry if some people took offense. So I am glad that a discussion has been started. I would like to see everyone doing it the same way. That would make it easier for people to find the information they need." Your point about the Bible quotation is well-taken, and I can remove that if more people object. I only put it in there because some people from other belief systems would might it hard to understand the tag without some background information. --Boxslinger (talk) 18:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
