While we’re discussing this broadly, there are some additional cases that I haven’t been able to follow up on yet:
-
natural=boulders
=>natural=stone
+field=yes
(or other variations) — 4 changesets -
geological=glacial_lake
=>lake=glacial_lake
— 2 changesets -
geological=plate_boundary
=>geological=fault
— 1 changeset but in this case @MichaelCollinson was kind enough to confirm that the original tag was more precise. -
wetland=saltern
and similar features retagged — 12 changesets -
natural=rock_shelter
=>natural=cave_entrance
(or removed) — 3 changesets (added)
In some cases, the original tags may not have been ideal, but it doesn’t seem appropriate to completely retag all the features that use a certain tag without some discussion.
