Hi,

I just wondered how to tag a dock which is tidal, since the wiki does
not propose anything for that case. In fact the wiki proposes dock=tidal
for a dock, which has a tidal independent water level i.e. the water
level is managed.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddock

But maybe I am totaly wrong and the type of dock should be tagged as
waterway=riverbank or natural=water, water=river.

How ever this does not give the information that the dock is tidal. And
if I am not wrong the meaning of tidal is exactly that the water level
is changing depending on the tide and is not managed in any way.

Overpass API gives me a number of 42 polygones for dock=tidal in total.
I figured out that  9 seem to be wrongly mapped according the wiki, 19
are done by me and 14 seem to be correctly tagged.

So what do you think about deprecating the usage of dock=tidal as it is
proposed at the wiki and propose the opposite? In that case I would
propose something like dock=basin or dock=managed_water_level.

Regards
Tobias
