Diving boards

No tower, but a long diving board. How to map? Jidanni (talk) 14:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I'd still map it as a diving tower with like height=0.5 because functionally it's still the same as a higher diving tower --Taktaal (talk) 19:51, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
Boards are lines

Also boards are lines, not points. Jidanni (talk) 23:40, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

leisure

Should this not have some combination with leisure=*? B-unicycling (talk) 21:44, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I think sport=* is better, with sport=diving --Sylvain M 53 (talk) 10:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
sport=diving is ambiguous (scuba diving? cliff diving? tower diving?), therefore should not be used. sport=tower_diving is clear, and can be used, although it may be deducted from tower:type=diving or leisure=diving_tower (hypothetical tag in the "leisure" category). Something B (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
I thought the ambiguity had been cleared up, as the tag page sport=diving has been updated. It now specifies that the tag corresponds to the activity of jumping off a diving board, and links to the other tags sport=scuba_diving and sport=cliff_diving. I recently started this topic on the French OSM forum, and it seems that these 3 tags are now unambiguous. Don't you think?--Sylvain M. (talk) 22:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
I think that people not always read documentation, therefore even if documentation is clear, it not precludes incorrect use. This tag is rare, no reason to stick to it. Something B (talk) 22:20, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
In that case, you'd have to modify the sport=diving page, and/or make proposals for modifications. I'm not very comfortable with this process (sorry, by the way, I realise I haven't replied from the same account, I'm really fumbling with the wiki): do you feel able and motivated? --Sylvain M.

Please see Proposal:Water jumping. You can refer to this proposal on the forum, for example. Something B (talk) 23:34, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
