due to seav (who appears to be running a bot without
checking with local mappers first) changing them. The last wiki edits were
by seav editing the page to match the version that they favoured. The

That's irrelevant; you're still changing data across the planet.
Data consumers still need to know if the data is changing beneath their

I don't see these edits as out of line or unusual. It's not so
different from the dozens of other projects to create more unified tags
so that data consumers have a chance of using

I suspect the tags you're talking about in other projects
It might be useful to know how many uses of the two variants were present
before Eugene (seav) began changing them. My impression is that both were
being used commonly, and thus data consumers had to accept both spellings,
and so this change isn't such a big deal. Of course it would have been

I have no ability to say if drive-through or drive_through or
drive-thru is the best one but I always thank people trying to keep
tagging consistent in the database. For instance, we have currently 879

Potlatch2 tags drive-through. The wiki some users who changed this tag
think it's drive_through.
Not that it makes any odds to me which it is, but it might save time for
others who go around changing one to the other.
You want silly retaggings?

My main irritation about things like this is not if it's X or Y, but that we
can't decide whether it's X or Y. It makes the database a jumbled mess that

Well, technically if were mapping whats on the ground, a lot of

All I know is that service=drive-through was rendered already in Mapnik while
