Add 'mall' as a building type #554

Closed realeatham closed 3 months ago

realeatham commented 3 months ago

A mall is a distinct building which doesn't fit as any of the current building types and is already used in osm.

If we are talking about "building type" quest/overlay, building=mall seems to be deprecated and undocumented in OSM wiki, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building=retail (which is also recommended replacement)

You may wish instead to tag shop=mall which is used to indicate actual mall which end users might want to find. That can be tagged in Places overlay, unfortunately only as point (not on existing building polygon, which would be more useful -- but that is only possible in SCEE's "expert mode" via manual raw tag editing, which is admittedly somewhat unergonomic)
