 If there used to be a castle and now there's a ruin, then we tag that as
 a ruin (with potential add-on info about its former castle status).

 If there used to be a building but all that is left is a clearing in the
 forest, then the clearing will be in OSM, and not a building with a
 lifecycle tag of removed.




generally I agree with you, but there might be edge cases. I looked this up
in the wiki because someone on the italian ML asked what to do with a
aerialway=cable_car, where the pylons and the cable have been removed, but
the stations still exist, and the current tagging for the way was
disused=yes and aerialway=cable_car. I answered that I'd remove the way,
but in alternative he could retag it to removed:aerialway=cable_car and
cancel the misleading disused attribute. This way there would remain trace
of the former feature and the stations would be remain in context.

you don't _have_ to enter this kind of feature, in the end it is up to the

 I see no harm in leaving them in OSM. Untill something is built there or the
 landuse/cover changes. Leave it there so no one re adds it. Remove it only
 when new features take its place, so the new features are not confused by
 the past.

In most cases they can be simply removed from database.
But here with 'removed:' I propose to leave an outline in OSM DB with
the tag namespaced removed:*=* so that they appear on editors but are
not otherwise rendered or used.

Similarly 'error:' was a proposal for tag namespaced error:*=*

Every few year local government releases new plans - so in 1994 it was
planned
to start around 2020. Currently there are plans to start construction in
2030
(there is even preliminary project, but nobody has idea how to fund tunnel

Just a simple mapper believing that the projects are still serious is

 using the colon separator would keep from making additional tags

 generic tags like fuel= water= gas= which might have uses elsewhere
 (like the water_tap discussion here earlier) or be confused for other

 stick fuel=unleaded_87 onto a gas station. Or does that already
 exist?

Have a look at fuel=* [1]. Nice, we already have the value in key

At least, we should consider the same tags for the same substances/fuels.

How about substance=wood_pallets.

I quite agree but argued that Within the context of shops and with the
associated values related to nationalities and the like, the meaning of
culture=* is rather unmistakable.
Other proposals were far more generic (origin) or a little too specific
(ethnic/ethnicity, nationality, subculture).
I think culture=* is a nice middle ground and a good fit regarding the
values that are expected to be used.

 you can see from taginfo that none of the currently
 used values do fit with the here intended meaning:
 http://taginfo.osm.org/keys/culture

culture=* is indeed not used yet in the here intended meaning. Because it
is a brand new idea and because it is discussed here first, instead of use
first and discuss after.

 Instead they mostly fit into a proposal I made up 5 yrs ago but then
abandoned:
 http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Proposed_features/culture

Already discussed in some details.
84 uses, only tagging errors where culture=X should be replaced by
amenity=X or tourism=X.
culture=* is available as a tagging option, the current use is irrelevant.

Throwing out my ideas...

Disclaimer:
These are generic proposals for pipeline sub-tagging with example values
for illustration.
I do not want to derail this towards water/drinking_water and multi-values
(semicolon or namespaced). ;)

I propose 3 keys: use/purpose (as main subtag), state/phase and
substance/name.

pipeline:use = * or pipeline:purpose = *
values limited to list eg.: drinking_water, wastewater/sewage,
drain/irrigation, transport/transmission, heating, coolant, industrial,
communication...

[IMO this is the most interesting data to be rendered or externally used:
the intent of the pipeline]
May clash or need to be merged with the tag for pipeline:
usage = * (currently very specific and oilgas oriented).

Then additionally, because it can be informative and described with fixed
values
substance:state = * or substance:phase = *
values limited to list eg.: gas, liquid, solid (cables), slurry
(=liquid+solid particles), multi (=multiphase, mostly gas and liquid,
possibly particles)

Then, a bit of freedom with free-form value (possibly multi-values):
substance:name = *, eg.:
water, fresh_water, grey_water, steam...
natural_gas, oil...
chemical...
cables, optic_fiber...

If 'we' tag what we see at the site .. then the pipe line it self is

 The difference between inside and outside diameters in most cases

what ever they think is easiest/best?



Does what is inside the pipe need to be tagged? Yes .. because that is 
the reason for the existence of the pipe. And tells us a lot about where 
it comes from and goes too. Ok?


Pressure and temperature and substance would give the state (if mostly 
only one substance is present) so maybe the state does not need to be 
tagged?



Water .. why is this such a problem? Because it has so many uses, is so 
common? And 'we' assume so much about it? So 'we' have to deal with 
it... I too like 'grey water' .. but its meaning is too specific. I like 
some descritor that covers water that is not drinking water and not

potable water
grey water - includes storm water
industrial water (as used for heating, cooling, washing things etc)

Sorry that I missed your proposal.

Indeed, it seems that the wikidata id makes the tagging of related enshrines
superfluous, as the relation between main and related enshrines can be
defined outside OSM.

 But many place of worship in Japanese have multiple dedication gods.
 And when we would like to express using semi-colon (;),
 multi-lingual approach would be fail into complex array.
 
 e.g.
 If a shrine dedicates 3 gods.
 in Japanese Kanji = 天照大御神; 月讀命; 素戔嗚尊
 in English = Amaterasu-Oomikami; Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto; Susanoo-no-Mikoto
 
 And each gods has loc_name, alt_name, or alternated writings.
 I was thinking about dedication:N (like Addr:N) once, but it is a bit
 troublesome.

There's a subtle difference to addrN:
addr1:street, addr1:housenumber etc. need to be used in conjunction, while
name:en, name:jp etc. are alternatives.

Of course, local names or alternated spellings complicate things a lot.

Isn't there an official dedication for a given japanese place of worship?
We do have that for churches. It's one fixed wording (and spelling) for a
given church, just like a birth certificate defines one fixed spelling for a
given individual.
