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.
Where some tag is 'depreciated' then the alternative tag should be
highlighted. The mapper then can make the choice.
Colours?
Ok with the colour blind thing .. need to state what colours are best so
choices can be made from them.
Why does the entire box need to be done in the chosen colour?? Why not
just do the status text in bold in that colour? This reduces the
significance of the status... may be leave the whole box colours for
things of more significance ... status=abandoned?
