User:Reosarevok/Place types

Hi! I had an RFV for adding a "Stadium/Arena" type for places technically pass yesterday, but there didn't seem to be much consensus on whether to add it, and how. So I'm making a small "poll" to find out what most people would actually prefer! :)

Should we have extra place types at all?

Yes

No

If yes, should Stadium and Arena be added as one type, or as two?

One

• Caller_number_six (talk) 19:25, 25 January 2014 (UTC) — Less is more :-)

Two

• --Lixobix (talk) 14:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC) There are cases where there are two separate venues in the same location, e.g. Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena.

Unsure

• I'm not really sure what the difference between them is: wikipedia:Stadium suggests we germans name our stadiums "XXX Arena" and wikipedia:Arena suggests they're sometimes used synonymously. Is the difference that Arenas have a roof over everything while Stadiums do not? --Mineo (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

If not, should we use Venue or Other for stadiums and arenas?

Venue

Other
