Hello, I agree Andy nearly completely, but I would recommend Brecht to create the wiki page for the tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:virtual_tour with maybe a link to the proposal and information that the discussion is ongoing, and a short comment on what you intend by the key and what not, even at this point.

One of the reasons that OSM got to where it is today, leaving numerous other "free map" competitors by the roadside, is that people mapping things in their neighbourhood don't need to go through some "tag approval" process for a new thing that they have just seen, they can just make up a tag and continue mapping. Later, if it turns out that a better tag is already in use elsewhere for exactly the same thing, it's easy to change the tag the tag they used to the more popular one.
It is NOT easy, to change the tag, if you don't have a definition of it and the usage has gone too far. You would have to do mass edits. E.g. there is an overlap between information=route_marker and information=trail_blaze . You could make a distinction, but you some people don't, automated edit's not advisable... (Different uses dependent on hiking/bicycle and just regions https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Uly Big dots route_marker, small dots trail_blaze, red=hiking, green=bicycle, black undefined or other).
There's a wiki page all about the process: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like . > Meanwhile, I have used this tag for 4 objects, so this tag now does show up in taginfo. That's great - https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1UkZ - that's how new tags get established in OSM. Of the people voting one person (not me) has objected to the tag on philosophical grounds, based on what should and what should not be in OSM, and one person (me) thinks that "voting" for this sort of very low-use tag introduces a level of bureaucracy that is unhelpful to OSM as an ongoing project.
+1!
Of course, it makes total sense to discuss your suggested new tag (as you did at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/rfc-proposal-of-tag-virtual-tour-url/120965 ). Different people have different views about how much discussion and how much "tag approval" bureaucracy there should be; that's absolutely fine. It doesn't mean that some people are "wrong" if they disagree with you (or me) about some things; I've been wrong about plenty of things in the past and I'm sure you have too.
+1
Best Regards, Andy
finally - my opinion: invalidating an "oppose" - vote is unnecessary Sebastian
