Faroe islands address metadata cleanup - proposed mass edit

Communities Danmark (Denmark)
1

Faroe islands address import added some tags present in original database that are not really needed in OSM.

I propose to remove them. Specifically, I propose to remove

  • us.fo:Galdandi_frá=*
  • us.fo:kommununr=*
  • us.fo:Postnr=*
  • us.fo:Veganr=*
  • us.fo:Eindir=*
  • us.fo:Býlingsnr=*
  • us.fo:Eindir=*
  • us.fo:Býlingsnr=*

Changeset: 1888617 | OpenStreetMap - original import author is fine with such edit

(if anyone is curious how I run into these tags: it happened as part of work on OpenStreetMap editor when verifying state of some unhandled tags. These tags are now handled but saving time for other people being confused by them seems a good idea to me, even if takes some extra effort right now)

documentation page is at Mechanical Edits/Mateusz Konieczny - bot account/remove not needed address import tags - OpenStreetMap Wiki

And thanks for making the address import in the first place! These extra tags are tiny minor issue that is easy to solve, and I bet that far more significant effort went into making that address import!

Would it be OK to remove also us.fo:galdandi_frá (lowercase form)? See us.fo:galdandi_frá | Keys | OpenStreetMap Taginfo

@Mateusz_Konieczny has original version of the bot ever run to remove that initial list of deprecated tags?
