Missmatched definitions for fire_hydrant:diameter

I think I found a mismatching definition of the key fire_hydrant:diameter.

According to the data object fire_hydrant:diameter is “[t]he size of the connection fitting used to interface with the hydrant.” The German translation is matching this. These are the textes that are shown in the iD-Editor as a help.

According to the wiki fire_hydrant:diameter is defined as “the nominal diameter of the underground pipe going along the street”. Here the German wiki page is also matching this.

I think the data object has a wrong description in it. It should be:

  • couplings:diameters: “The size of the connection fitting used to interface with the hydrant.”
  • fire_hydrant:diameter: "This is the nominal diameter of the underground pipe going along the street that feeds (among other things) the hydrant. In some countries you can read it on the signboard near the hydrant: generally, it is the number on top of the sign. "

Am I right with my assumption? I do not want to change something without someone else having a look on it.
