New Quest: Artwork Type #2125

Description

@pkoby

General

Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: artwork_type=*
Question asked: What type of artwork is this?

I have been adding artwork information to the map because I thought my region was starved for public art. It turns out there's a lot, but a lot of information is missing from OSM. Many pieces (not just in my area) are tagged solely with tourism=artwork and no more. At the bare minimum, I think adding what type of art it is would be nice, although adding name and artist tags could be good too (the one could be added to the name quest?).

Checklist

Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):

  • 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
  • 🤔 Any answer the user can give must have an equivalent tagging (Quest should not reappear to other users when solved by one)
  • 🐿️ Easily answerable by everyone from the outside but a survey is necessary
    This tag can be derived from street-level imagery, but almost certainly not satellite.
  • 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of elements have the same answer (No spam)
    Any one region should not encounter this tag very often. In my small city center, there are 7 untagged artworks.
  • 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of elements (Worth the effort)
    There are 147,213 total tourism=artwork, 100,129 are tagged with artwork_type, leaving around 47,000 to survey.

Ideas for implementation

Element selection:

[out:json][timeout:25];
(
  node["tourism"="artwork"]["artwork_type"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  way["tourism"="artwork"]["artwork_type"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
  relation["tourism"="artwork"]["artwork_type"!~".*"]({{bbox}});
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

It might not be necessary to ask about relations, but nodes and ways are clear enough to answer.

Metadata needed:
None? Some artwork types from the wiki are probably very regional, but I would think limiting to the most-used options would eliminate this concern (e.g the Spanish/Portuguese artwork_type=azulejo is only used 8 times).

Proposed GUI:

I think it should be along the lines of the surface quest, with square images with a short label on top of them. Most of the images from the wiki are decent representations, but some might be vague, such as Installation or Mural vs. Painting.
