As a heavy user of the contact:*=* scheme I do not see an advantage to mark it as deprecated.
At least not as long as we do not have a proper way to tag multiple kinds of phone numbers and are dealing with non-sense like phone_2=*, phone_3=* etc automatically generated by the iD editor. One frequent use case I run into is the distinction of landline phone numbers and mobile phone numbers. The latter can be tagged by using contact:mobile=* which is also properly used by data users like OsmAnd. In my eyes even contact:website=* is not necessarily illogical as many websites provide means to get in contact with the POI. All the best, highflyer74 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
