So how do we go with creating a page for a tag that is "in use" but has apparently never been discussed?

Last week, I asked about a Christmas shop, thinking about tagging it as shop=party, but it was pointed out that shop=christmas has actually been used 14 times, but apparently has never been discussed anywhere?

14? I don't think that is a 'significant' number of uses.

I made a wiki page for netball, which had some ~1,000 uses when I made the page. Now over 6,000 uses... I have not bothered with the status of it .. IIRC left it unstated.
Considering the present state of 'status' I probably won't bother with it.


Does that make it "in use" / "de facto"?

Am I OK to just create a page for shop=christmas, so other people know it exists, or should it go through the full RFC / voting procedure to be "approved"?

Your choice.
