Default building:levels value for kiosks/others

[tohaklim]

Just tried to edit the preset and failed miserably, so opening an issue to see whether this is something worthwhile.
While kiosks are usually just nodes with shop=kiosk, some also have an outline with building=yes/kiosk (rarely).
Since I am yet to see a 2 level kiosk, would that be correct to default shop=kiosk to building:levels=1, despite not all of them having an outline? Could be only applicable to those that are an area (e.g. building=kiosk, or a trickier case building=yes + shop=kiosk, which is what I attempted to catch by setting levels on a node?
Other buildings I could see having default levels value are building=service,bungalow,static_caravan,cabin,carport,cowshed,garage,garages,shed,sty
Comments?

I agree that any preset with a building field can also have a levels field (which assigns the building:levels=* tag).

@vershwal this is like #4905 - can you take care of it?

Would the levels field support a default pre-assigned number of floors?

Please do not conclude from your own experiences to the whole world. Missing default values can be added by data consumers easily. For example, OSM2World has its set of default heights (levels) for different types of buildings. Adding default values without an explicit confirmation by the user will lead to wrong data and does not have any benefit.

We have a significant number of new user accounts who add a POI and often choose to add the tags to the building instead of creating a node (nobody tells them before that a node is most likely more correct but that's a different topic). If such a user adds a kiosk which is located in a larger building (quite common here), iD would silently add building:levels=1.

No, I think the assumed default is '1', and people would probably complain if iD started adding an explicit building:levels=1 tag to every building by default.

Just to reiterate to what I wrote above, iD does not do this.
