I'm on my first day editing OSM. I am trying to add a school using Potlatch 2. However under amenity, school only shows up when I'm adding it a point. When I create a polygon and intend to label the area where the school encompasses, the school option no longer shows up under amenities. What should I do? |

Hi, try to add school at the advanced options. Amenity - school, name - School I. Good luck

I realized that school option is actually under "building". And it would add the tag as you suggested.

My example is amenity showing school and grounds. Building is OK for the bricks or stone building. as in Hendrikklaas' answer

Well, if I look closely to the advance tags, it doesn't really say "building" anywhere. It's just categorized as such in the UI.

I was trying to avoid the school grounds being rendered as a building

Hi Huggie, Have fun, keep building and enjoy it. Ps your always able to make a try by using an empty space and make some multipolygone, add the tags and look at it for the result. If its wrong dont forget to wast it again the same session time (preferable) |

So what's the final verdict? School Buildings can be tagged as school, but what about grounds and adjoining (school) playing fields? 3
For once, the description on the wiki about how to map schools is pretty good: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dschool It even includes a diagram showing where the different tags should go.
