Talk:Key:stone type

Avoid type in key names

This key has got type in its name and it's redundant.
Many (not to mention all) keys are categories or type of something in OSM and stone=* could have brought the same information. Fanfouer (talk) 22:52, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree, stone=* is just as good as "stone type". On the other hand, "stone" alone does not give sufficient context, another use for it could for example be in the chain material=stone, stone=limestone (is indeed already used, as is granite, sandstone, etc.). As "stone_type" is intended for historic stones, maybe something like historic_stone=* would make more sense here --Dieterdreist (talk) 11:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, anyone will be more than welcome to give the most extensive context in a key name if appropriate. stone=* was mentioned as a general example and could be improved as needed Fanfouer (talk) 15:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
