Tagging proposals do not have the power to "deprecate" existing tags, and I have changed the wiki pages accordingly. Using the wording "this tag has now been deprecated" always leads to someone trying to make a mass change but we don't want that. A successful proposal is only the first stage in the acceptance of a new tag. Just because a new tag has been voted in by 20 people doesn't mean that the edits of 2000 people can now be automatically changed. The new tag will either "prove" itself by being used, or it won't. Automatically removing the "deprecated" old version is cheating. Don't do it, at least not without prior discussion and large acceptance in the community. A SUCCESSFUL PROPOSAL IS NEVER A LICENSE FOR AN AUTOMATED CHANGE OF EXISTING TAGS. NEVER. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE PROPOSAL CONTAINS THE WORD "DEPRECATED".
