Hi everyone! Im working in an animal sanctuary at the moment an wondered what the best way to tag the gates seen in the image would be.
I searched taginfo and the wiki for fitting tags, but i couldn't find one.So I might have to introduce one myself. This opens up multiple possibilities.Tag as barrier=gate with gate:type=guillotin. Or make another barrier= tag to separate it from gates for humans. There are already different types of gates under barrier= Cheers Hedaja asked 29 Feb '16, 20:47  Hedaja edited 02 Mar '16, 19:37  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

If these are more general than the current specific use for dogs I'd suggest barrier=animal_gate, with optional tags to describe which animals are involved (either as animal_gate=dog or using taxon= or species=), and perhaps gate:type=guillotine. I happened to notice a couple the other day associated with a sheep dip. answered 01 Mar '16, 09:25  SK53 ♦ |
It's specifically a gate for an animal. Maybe add as a gate, but with access tags to indicate that human and vehicular traffic isn't allowed, but animal traffic (certain sorts of animal) is? Your suggested gate:type does have fairly wide use already, though not yet "dog_guillotine" (the English spelling of "guillotine" has an "e" at the end, by the way). As an aside, one other place that "dog guillotines" exist is on stiles. The tag answered 01 Mar '16, 00:10  SomeoneElse ♦ |
Thank you for your answers. I think a new tag would be better. dog_guillotine is to specific. I'm going to use barrier=animal_gate; gate:type=guillotine. I'll try to document it in the wiki (first on the discussion page of barrier) answered 02 Mar '16, 19:33 Hedaja |
