Object.
No contact with mappers using that value.

The usage was discouraged for this purpose, neither forbidden nor deprecated.
No tagging in the database was changed (by myself).

Yet the wiki reference was totally removed from the wiki.
I think leaving the mention of it on the wiki, but putting a line through it and placing comments on the wiki discussion page would be better way of discouragement. That is the way I have seen it done for discouragement in the past.
I think the removal may be provocation to an edit war?

Before the removal it said ...
"A big tribunes. " and showed the same photo as stadium.
So possibly 'stands' is 'stadium' rather than 'grandstand'.



What was intended by the use of 'stand'? Was it truly a 'grandstand'?

We don't know, _because_ 'stand' is ambiguous. This exactly is the problem when people start using a new tag without any discussion in the community, and without checking a dictionary that would have revealed the multiple meanings.

Feel free to research and contact the users of the 'stand' tag and discuss with them.

And possibly the wiki before the removal of 'stand'.

And the wiki editor who added 'stand'. Though they may be simply trying to document the use of the value.


Did not see the 'old tag' ... a link to it would be good?

As was said earlier in this thread, neither tag was documented, so the only reference to 'stand' is taginfo.

The other reference to 'stand' was on the wiki ..
