Description, Motivation & Context

This is to provide with a preset for tagging Biathlon Ranges with sport=biathlon, as opposed to sport=shooting. Since Biathlon is a quite distinct sport (not governed by ISSF etc.) with quite distinct shooting ranges.

Related issues

None I'm aware of.

Links and data

Relevant OSM Wiki links:

Relevant tag usage stats:

  • 137 elements tagged with leisure=pitch + sport=biathlon (despite the existence of the Shooting Range preset, which encourages mistagging as sport=shooting)
  • 11 further elements currently tagged as leisure=pitch + sport=shooting inside a sport=biathlon-tagged area

Follow these steps to test your PR yourself and make it a lot easier and faster for maintainers to check and approve it.

This is how it works:

  1. After you submit your PR, the system will create a preview and comment on your PR:

    🍱 Your pull request preview is ready.
    If this is your first contribution to this project, the preview will not happen right away but requires a click from one of the project members. We will do this ASAP.

  2. Once the preview is ready, use it to test your changes.

  3. Now copy the snippet below into a new comment and fill out the blanks.

  4. Now your PR is ready to be reviewed.

## Test-Documentation

### Preview links & Sidebar Screenshots

<!-- Use the preview to find examples, select the feature in question and **copy this link here**.
     Find examples of nodes/areas. Find examples with a lot of tags or very few tags. – Whatever helps to test this thoroughly.
     Add relevant **screenshots** of the sidebar of those examples. -->

<!-- FYI: What we will check:
     - Is the [icon](https://github.com/ideditor/schema-builder/blob/main/ICONS.md) well chosen.
     - Are the fields well-structured and have good labels.
     - Do the dropdowns (etc.) work well and show helpful data. -->

### Search

<!-- **Test the search** of your preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     - Test the preset name as search terms.
     - Also test the preset terms and aliases as search terms (if present). -->

### Info-`i`

<!-- **Test the info-i** for your fields and preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     The info needs to help mappers understand the preset and when to use it.
     [Learn more…](https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#info-i)
 -->

### Wording

- [ ] American English
- [ ] `name`, `aliases` (if present) use Title Case
- [ ] `terms` (if present) use lower case, sorted A-Z

usage is quite low, but it does not make me opposed if competing promoted by preset tagging is bad

but maybe https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport=biathlon should mention it more properly? not only in infobox? Is this tagging documented as preferable anywhere on OSM Wiki?

maybe include some clear photo of biathlon range?

given low tag use I would also keep it open for while to give people time for review

note: I have no experience with biathlon and nearly no knowledge, and nearly no experience with shooting

@matkoniecz:

That was my reasoning too.

Can do.

Is this tagging documented as preferable anywhere on OSM Wiki?

Actually yes, but only in Norwegian…

then adding it at least to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport=biathlon would be great (I really prefer iD tagging schema to not lead with novel, just invented tagging schemas - or to appear doing this)

Seems to be done, thanks!

Thanks for the PR! It is now merged but note that before you will see it in iD few things need to happen.

iD tagging schema needs to get release (see https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/releases - latest one mentioned there is just a draft). And later needs to be pulled in by iD.

Thanks again for your contribution! If you are interested in making other one it would be really welcome!

(I just hope that tagging will not turn out to be controversial here, looked around and it does not seem to be but you can get nasty traps...)
