This thread actually started with the question in the title: "Keys to which new values can be added (to Map Features) without a proposal: craft=, shop=, building=, office=, sport=?"
That is, should wiki users and mappers feel free to add any newly documented values of craft=, shop=, building=, office=, and sport= to the Map Features wiki page, and the Key page (eg Key:office, Key:craft), or should this always be discussed first? I restarted the thread more recently with a specific example: craft=atelier had just been documented after being used a dozen times, and was added to the Key:craft page and to Map Features. My question is: was this ok, or should it have been discussed first? It appears that most users here would prefer that there be some discussion in some forum before new tags are added to the more formal lists, so that cases like craft=atelier can be improved. But a number of people (in another thread) are in favor of encouraging all new tags to be documented at a page like Tag:office=new_value so that it's clear how they were being used, even if they were not discussed.
