Hi Martin, I was the one that marked the proposal for the key capital as
cancelled (maybe abandoned was a better status).
I did this because I saw it's use was a complete mess in tag info, and as
far as I knew, admin_centre had the same purpose, so I just wanted to help
to clean the wiki from it's countless inconsistencies and abandoned
proposals.

If the use of the key capital is well established, please at least create a
page Key:capital explaining it's use.
