Labels for railway=station areas not rendered

The label only shows up if there is an additional building tag, but then one would have multiple stations if there are more than one entrance building.

+1, stations and buildings are different things and the building tag has nothing to do with an (active) train station, besides some people using it like this ;-)
Any train station will also have a part with rails and might have no building at all

Subset of #2094.

you are using the railway=station tag wrong, it is not intended for areas, just for nodes, it is intended to contain all i think what you want here is landuse=railway, it is rendered like an industrial area, for better instructions see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:A-simple-station.svg

no, using it on a node is very old, approximate style and an area is clearly better, as stations always do have a significant spatial extension.

it is intended to contain all i think what you want here is landuse=railway, it is rendered like an industrial area, for better instructions see:

landuse=railway is not for stations, it is for all areas with railway related use.

In overhelming majority of cases tagging railway station as areas makes more sense than tagging as nodes. I am pretty sure that current tagging consesus is that railway=station on areas is a valid taging.

[matkoniecz]

landuse=railway is not for stations, it is for all areas with railway related use.

To make it more clear: landuse=railway is not only for stations, it is for all areas with railway related use.

Well, if you want to map it as a area then where do you draw the line where a station begins? at the first switch that is controlled from it? at the entry/exit signals? at the platforms?

this discussion does not belong here, please ask your questions on the tagging ML

I am confused. I wanted to fix it as short break from more complex things but I am missing something. Layer code is

  - id: "stations"
    class: "stations"
    name: "stations"
    geometry: "point"
    <<: *extents
    Datasource:
      <<: *osm2pgsql
      table: |-
        (SELECT
            way,
            name,
            railway,
            aerialway,
            CASE railway 
              WHEN 'station' THEN 1 
              WHEN 'subway_entrance' THEN 3
              ELSE 2
            END
              AS prio
          FROM planet_osm_point
          WHERE railway IN ('station', 'halt', 'tram_stop', 'subway_entrance')
            OR aerialway = 'station'
          ORDER BY prio
        ) AS stations
    properties:
      minzoom: 12
    advanced: {}
  - id: "stations-poly"
    name: "stations-poly"
    class: "stations"
    geometry: "polygon"
    <<: *extents
    Datasource:
      <<: *osm2pgsql
      table: |-
        (SELECT
            way,
            name,
            railway,
            aerialway
        FROM planet_osm_polygon
        WHERE railway IN ('station', 'halt', 'tram_stop')
          OR aerialway = 'station'
        ) AS stations_poly

with rendering in stations.mss, and I see no bug here (and I see no reason why https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/stations.mss would treat polygons differently as far as labels are concerned).

[kocio-pl]

This area is retagged as landuse=railway, so I guess this issue can be closed now if no other similar problems are found. Unless this tagging is reverted as misused, so we could look if the bug is still here.

[kocio-pl]

This bug is real - I've made a tuned import and there's no label really.

It also doesn't render area color - probably area=yes is needed, which should not be needed, since I can't think of linear station and wiki page makes it clear.

In both cases I can see a label
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/66239966
or an icon with label
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/114507529

@kocio-pl Is there still some issue?

[matkoniecz]

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/66239966

See tags (landuse=railway, not railway=station)

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/114507529

Hm, this one may be viable example.

[kocio-pl]

I'm not sure right now, could someone check if the problem is still here, just in case?

[matkoniecz]

I looked through PRs for now, I see nothing claiming to fix it.

Maybe it was fixed accidentally.

[kocio-pl]

OK, so I'm closing it - it might be reopened if we're wrong, of course. Thanks for testing!
