+1 that there's a problem here of the wiki pretending to be more than it it is. Xxzme's "bold" edits often exacerbate that.
-- When it comes to "deprecated" and "obsolete" tags I basically feel that if you can't get enough worldwide consent to re-tag, the tags are not really obsolete or deprecated. The partial deprecation approach is bad for mappers bad for the data bad for data consumers. The wiki bar is already far too low for deprecation, and the colour red goes too far in discouraging use of a tag that may be perfectly valid, wanted and even widely used. Since deprecation is nuanced condition in OSM the wiki should reflect that nuance. Bringing editor support indications into the wiki would help. A feature that's deprecated in Keepright/osmose/JOSM and iD is very different from a feature that three people got together and marked deprecated on the Wiki.
