How would I tag a Video Game store like Gamestop, or Game Exchange that sell used or new video games primarily. They aren't shop = computer or video. Should I just make a new tag shop=video_game ? These shops are not uncommon. Please feel free to comment or respond. Thank You. asked 25 Feb '13, 06:28  redsteakraw edited 25 Feb '13, 07:05 |

There are already 109 objects tagged as shop=video_games (note the s at the end) in the database. Although the wiki doesn't have a description for this tag yet you can use it nevertheless. If you can't find a tag for a specific object in the wiki or your editor's presets you can always search on taginfo to see which tags were used by other users. answered 25 Feb '13, 07:11  scai ♦ |
How does tagging work in general? Is it just for post to be shown when they are searching for a particular query? For example to tag on video game singapore, I would have to use tags like #video_game? answered 23 Aug '19, 05:23  FedyaTheoderich edited 23 Aug '19, 17:50  Tordanik |
Tags in OSM aren't hashtags like on Twitter – you can learn more about the background here. However, if you're curious about how OSM works, I'd recommend a "learning by doing" approach and running the tutorial that's available on the osm.org edit tab.
