Usage as a disambiguation page

This tag is only used 78 times with shop=camera. Which isn't enough to warrant the article being a disambiguation. Instead it should document the more then 61,000 times it is used with man_made=camera and leave it at that until there is a comparable amount of uses in connection to shop=camera. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:30, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Camera type ambiguity

Hello!

I propose to change the description of this tag to following. I've bolded text that was changed.

Key Value Element Description
camera:type=* fixed node A camera normally incapable of moving or rotating (always pointing in a certain direction), only movable by physically adjusting it. Usually bullet-type. Example: DS-2CD2T43G2
camera:type=* dome node A characteristic dome camera, with usually a dark 'glass' dome under which a camera is situated. Usually this type of camera cannot turn on it's own, but it can be hard to see in which way it's heading. Example: DS-2CD2143G2
camera:type=* panning node A camera capable of rotating, either along a set path or through the remote use of a joystick or something along those lines. Also known as a PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom). Example: DS-2DF8C442IXS
