industrial=warehouse seems clearly preferable for warehouses of this two possibilities
note Tag:industrial=logistics: Revision history - OpenStreetMap Wiki - just created by user Rtfm (actual username) who is quite well known for documenting personal preferences as established tagging schemes.
industrial=warehouse seems clearly preferable for warehouses, so editing that page is likely a good idea (feel free to do so if you share this opinion).
Maybe even reverting all edits made to it recently if other claims are similarly broken.

I wouldn’t encourage people in tagging specific landuse subclasses, we should rather provide feature tags for this kind of thing, because they are features, have an operator, a name, an address, a phone number, etc.

especially with a tag like industrial=warehouse since "warehouse isn’t a type of landuse. I actually got in a pretty good argument with Kovposch over that and the usage of industrial=warehouse more generally awhile back, which everyone can see from the talk page went nowhere. At the end of the day though I think the warehouses should be tagged as building=warehouse and left at that. Tagging the land around it as industrial=warehouse is just pointlessly redundant. Not to mention most landuse around warehouses is actually commercial, not industrial. That said if was forced to choose between industrial=logistics and industrial=warehouse the later is clearly the better tag. Since anything to do with “logistics” has it’s own unique issues.

At some point I’d love to see a better tag replace industrial=warehouse though, but industrial=logistics clearly isn’t it.
I want to tag an area of a logistics company with several warehouse buildings and add POI data of the company. Currently it is tagged as man_made=works, which is wrong because nothing is produced there.
I agree that landuse=industral is not the best Tag for it. Are there any alternatives?
Tag the individual warehouse buildings as building=warehouse and the landuse area as landuse=commercial. Then map the specific place where the office is as office=logistics. Or is it office=company + company=logistics? I can’t remember right now. Either way, that’s how I would map it.
I agree that man_made=works is not suitable, but I think something similar could work.
something like man_made=distribution_facility or distribution_centre

man_made=distribution_centre is a good idea. Already used 12 times.

I disagree. There are options like @Adamant1 listed in #6, there we dont need a nother thing, wich discribes a until now discribed thing…
He wrote “building” which is ok for buildings but does not provide the business and site, he also wrote “landuse” which is about the use of land and does not provide the feature either and he also wrote office=company company=logistics which is about administration and not about a logistics operation.
I am still convinced we need the distribution facility as a feature tag, maybe more than one.
