Please do not use "disused=yes" as it is considered troll-tagging, first

I don't think that is a natural interpretation. It is perfectly clear in
the case of a disused quarry. It is still a quarry. But it is no longer
in use. In a few cases it may have a new purpose, but it is still a
quarry in any normal sense.
This is certainly not that black and white, and depends on perspective.
When it is fully re-naturated and filled with water I would no longer
call it a quarry. In the end, what would you want to render, the old
black quarry or the new blue lake? Hammer icons on the lake?
I think I tried disused:landuse=quarry, but as I recall it was then not
rendered on the standard map. I am all against tagging for the renderer
in principle, but when such major features are not shown, it is
ridiculous and a hazard. Theses particular quarries have sheer faces
some of which are not fenced off.
If the quarry leaves cliffs you can map them, and the cliff is rendered.
It's the same hazard as any natural cliff then.
We all have long list of features that we would like it see rendered for
various reasons, but the correctness of the database should have
priority. Then you can always render your own map, showing these
features correctly.
man_made=bridge is rendered on the main carto map. If the bridge outline of
a major bridge is not in the database, it's the mappers' fault, not the
renderers'.
Are you suggesting that I pollute the database with invented features?
The bridge is not an invented feature, if it exists in reality. If you
have the length of the bride from the old track, you can estimate the
width, and add a tag like source=estimate. So the next mapper can run
around with a GPS receiver and refine, and eventually we get an aerial
image from winter with less leaves and can refine even more. That's how
OSM works.
I have mapped several of these bridges which are under thick tree cover
There are some techniques to walk towards each corner from a distance to
get better bearings.
A bridge is a bridge and is a major feature regardless of whether it is
still in use for its original purpose.
Yes it is and therefore we are happy that the man_made tag is rendered
in carto. Just map it as best as you can, describing the quality you
achieved, and things will improve over time.
