If a place uses a master key system, this information can be added as well (such as RADAR, Eurokey, Master Locksmiths Association (Australia), or other similar systems). The tag aims to standardize the way such systems are tagged in OpenStreetMap, providing a more intuitive and internationally understandable method for indicating key-based access requirements. == Rationale == Many facilities, especially those designed for accessibility, require a specific key to unlock them. For example: There are about '''12.000 toilets in Germany, using the eurokey as a master key system'''. The proposed `access_key` tag offers a '''more generic and scalable solution''', making it easier to tag various key-based access systems consistently across different regions. It also allows you to tag places that are using a key system (such as petrol station toilets). == Examples == The `access_key` tag can be used to indicate: * Accessible toilets, parking spaces, or elevators that require a specific key for entry. * Facilities for people with disabilities or other restricted-access areas controlled by a centralized key system. * Any facility that needs to be unlocked, such as private toilets. == Tagging == The `access_key` tag will be used as follows: * `access_key=yes`: The facility requires some kind of centralized key, but the exact system is unknown or general access is assumed. * `access_key=no`: No key system is required for access. * `access_key=unknown`: If there is no information about a key system. * `access_key=master`: A master key system is being used (such as RADAR key or other) * `access_key:operator=…`: Organization that is responsible for the master key scheme. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:operator. * `access_key:operator:wikipedia=…`: Organization that is responsible for the master key scheme. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:operator. * `access_key:operator:wikidata=…`: Organization that is responsible for the master key scheme. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:operator. == Applies to == * A toilet with a Eurokey system: `amenity=toilets + access_key=yes + access_key=master + access_key:operator=eurokey` * A parking space for disabled people with a RADAR key system: `amenity=parking_space + access_key=yes + access_key=master + access_key:operator=radar` * A facility with no key system required: `amenity=facility + access_key=no` Possible operators that can be referred to with this tag: * [https://shop.disabilityrightsuk.org/products/radar-key?srsltid=AfmBOorpyDbUScibcqpR-zKEhsiQRlNX1N4cpL-hOkacordJOYJoxzv7 RADAR]-key * Euro-Key (german: "Euro-Schlüssel").

Moreover, centralkey=eurokey is a germanizism and does not appeal to all master key systems or key systems with individual locks, which is why we aimed to improve the old proposal. The existing tag key:access (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access) is not used for key systems. == Comments == Please comment on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|discussion page]]. </textarea><div class="templatesUsed"><div class="mw-templatesUsedExplanation"><p>Templates used on this page: </p></div><ul> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:Langcode" title="Template:Langcode">Template:Langcode</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Langcode&action=edit" title="Template:Langcode">view source</a>) (semi-protected)</li><li><a href="/wiki/Template:Proposal_Status" title="Template:Proposal Status">Template:Proposal Status</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Proposal_Status&action=edit" title="Template:Proposal Status">view source</a>) </li><li><a href="/wiki/Template:Proposal_page" title="Template:Proposal page">Template:Proposal page</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Proposal_page&action=edit" title="Template:Proposal page">view source</a>) </li><li><a href="/wiki/Template:Tag" title="Template:Tag">Template:Tag</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Tag&action=edit" title="Template:Tag">view source</a>) (protected)</li><li><a href="/wiki/Template:Yesno" title="Template:Yesno">Template:Yesno</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:Yesno&action=edit" title="Template:Yesno">view source</a>) </li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Arguments" title="Module:Arguments">Module:Arguments</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Arguments&action=edit" title="Module:Arguments">view source</a>) (protected)</li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Data_item_link" title="Module:Data item link">Module:Data item link</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Data_item_link&action=edit" title="Module:Data item link">view source</a>) </li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Langcode" title="Module:Langcode">Module:Langcode</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Langcode&action=edit" title="Module:Langcode">view source</a>) (semi-protected)</li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Languages" title="Module:Languages">Module:Languages</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Languages&action=edit" title="Module:Languages">view source</a>) </li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Languages/config" title="Module:Languages/config">Module:Languages/config</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Languages/config&action=edit" title="Module:Languages/config">view source</a>) (semi-protected)</li><li><a href="/wiki/Module:Tag" title="Module:Tag">Module:Tag</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Module:Tag&action=edit" title="Module:Tag">view source</a>) (protected)</li></ul></div><p id="mw-returnto">Return to <a href="/wiki/Proposal:Access_key" title="Proposal:Access key">Proposal:Access key</a>.</p> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Access_key">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Access_key</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <nav id="p-personal" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-personal vector-user-menu-legacy" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label" role="navigation" > <h3 id="p-personal-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Personal tools</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"><li id="pt-uls" class="mw-list-item active"><a class="uls-trigger" href="#"><span>English</span></a></li><li id="pt-createaccount" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Proposal%3AAccess+key&returntoquery=action%3Dedit" title="You are encouraged to create an account and log in;
