How in hell did the term pitlatrine get in there 1500 times? A weird construction of a multi-word term IMO. If anything it should be pit_latrine. As far as that goes, the tag toilet:disposal seems, to this reader at least, to indicate a place to discard toilets and be limited to the values yes or no. Are the people who dream up these tags speaking English?
