Approved features/Tag:historic=memorial

Proposal

A feature for tagging smaller memorials is missing, usually remembering special persons, peoples lost their lives in the world wars, ...

Memorials can be often found at public greens or cemeteries.

I propose: historic=memorial for this.

We already have historic=monument, which doesn't fit well here, as it's more for larger things like Nelson's Column in London, as I've been told by the Mailing List.

Memorial at Tynwald Hill, Isle of Man, remembering people lost their lives in WW I.

Small memorial at Douglas cemetery, Isle of Man, remembering people lost their lives in the Tourist Trophy.

Tag

The historic=memorial tag applies to nodes.

Rendering

Memorials should be rendered at close zoom levels only, as they are usually of minor interest.

Memorials will often have the form of crosses or poles, a small and simple icon could look like this: - icon added to proposal by Ulfl 01:53, 12 July 2007 (BST)

• I support this proposal --SlowRider 18:04, 7 July 2007 (BST)
• I support this too. Just about every town in england has at least one, often on a little triangle of land that's awkward to label otherwise Marinheiro 20:41, 7 July 2007 (BST)
