Different possible meanings
The tag =yes/no has been used with (at least) 2 meanings:
- is is most commonly used to specify whether or not an
amenity=drinking_waterfeature is designed for easily refilling water bottles.=yesindicates that a water bottle can easily be filled with drinking water at the feature=nowater bottles cannot easily be refilled
- According to Key:fountain, adding
=yesto otherfountain=*water outlet types, when it has a downward dispenser to refill bottles at lower-than-tap pressure, to avoid creating separateamenity=drinking_water+fountain=bottle_refill - According to
fountain=bottle_refill, it indicates instead whether "empty bottles are available for purchase".
Unclear use
- it talks about "water bottle" without defining what exactly it means. Do we talk about (quite common here) 1.5L water bottles which you would use for longer trips (like in motor vehicle or in bicycle panniers)? Or of smaller 0.75L variety (the kind one might use on bicycle, because it holds enough water and still fits nicely in standard quick-to-reach bottle holder). Or hiking types, which are usually 0.5L or 0.3L to make easier to carry/fit on belt? It makes a huge difference, especially for tap/sink clearance). So same water source might easily fit one bottle, while at the same time impossible to fit another.
- it uses undefined and vague terms such as "easy". It is highly subjective.
