How to map a mosque [newbie]
Hi all
I'm new to this mapping game and I'm adding mosques to my local area. There are two options:
'amenity=place _o f _worship or religion=muslim
building=mosque
**Issue 1**
For the [building=mosque][1] option (ie, a building built as a mosque), should the tags indicate if it has a dome, or a minaret (sometimes both)? Is this sort of info what OSM should contain?
eg, Government mapping in the UK distinguishes churches with a tower, versus a spire, versus without those: this is useful when using the map for navigation without GPS.
eg, there are tags as follows:
[tower:construction=dome][2] and
[landmark=dome][3] and [tower:type=minaret][4]
[How to map a...](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_map_a) doesn't have either church or mosque listed, so any thoughts appreciated.
**Issue 2**
I edited [a building](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/277148064): Before it was coded amenity=place_of_worship but it is really a building=mosque (ie, it was built as a mosque). For some reason the MapNix layer is not showing the mosque symbol (crescent and star). Does anyone know why?
Many thanks. If I should be pointed elsewhere to a FAQ or something, please let me know!

**PS**: any way of using the markdown to show [place_of_worship][5] but so the _underscore isn't interpreted as italics?
