Hello Markus,

Based on your suggestion, we will suggest when adding a drinking fountains to for them to be tagged either 1) as amenity = drinking_water or 2 ) with two tags a) amenity = fountain and b) drinking_water = yes.

And for section 3) we will suggest that for editing a water fountain that does not seem to have drinking quality water that the fountain should be designated with two tags a) amenity = fountain and b) drinking_water = no.

Thank you for your comments,

Stuart

Hi Stuart!

On the Wikimedia page you suggest adding drinking_water=yes to a
drinking fountain (amenity=drinking_water). However, this is redundant
as amenity=drinking_water already implies drinking_water=yes. [1]

By the way, you may also be interested in mapping amenity=fountain,
i.e. decorative fountains, [2] as they often provide drinkable water
too. Note that for amenity=fountain it makes sense to add
drinking_water=yes/no.
