But what do you do when people don’t respond, or do but then stop?
As mentioned on the Tagging list: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Start moving proposal announcements to the new forum, I’ve been discussing making changes to the various existing lifeboat-station tags, which would mean setting emergency=lifeboat_station as the default, while deprecating the mainly duplicated options: [Tagging] Possible merge of marine_rescue & lifeboat_station tags? & Possible merge of marine_rescue & lifeboat_station tags?.
The last two questions I’ve asked haven’t had any response, apart from two likes on here.
Do I now just raise a proposal to change that tag from “in use” to “approved” & also mark the others as deprecated, or just think, “I asked, but nobody answered or complained, so they must be happy with the idea, so I’ll just go ahead & do it”?
Next step would be to go through the several 00 uses of the various tags worldwide & remove the duplicated tags that have been used on the same POI e.g. emergency=lifeboat_station + amenity=lifeboat_station.
Some of them are also tagged as emergency_service=water, which doesn’t even have a page created, but is in use 250+ times!
