I'm afraid to say that it isn't abandoned as I am also using it in rural mapping as described below. I would agree with the comment that people could tag, barrier=gate and entrance=yes and this would then no longer identify the current use of barrier=entrance which is a gap in the barrier. Changing to using entrance=yes could therefore result in a loss of useful information. I did look at entrance=* when deciding which tag to initially use and the wiki seems to be written in the context of an urban environment and entering something. This left me with barrier=entrance. I would think in terms of passing through barrier so this is easier to remember as a tag. The wiki could do with some more detail but it seemed to fit better with the the general use of barrier=* in a rural context. I must admit I was under the impression that a tag only became abandoned when it failed to progress in the proposal stage. This tag seems to be in use given the taginfo is at more than 36000 so I don't quite understand how it can be abandoned. I think that the status of abandoned should be removed. I do however note that entrance=* is in the barrier=hedge wiki page for a gap, which adds to the confusion. There is no such description in the fence or wall wiki page but I was told that such a description should really be in the general barrier wiki page as it is relevant to all barriers.
