At the moment the 'intermittent' wiki says;
In Description:/Indicates that waterway or water body is intermittent 
(seasonal) /
In Key:intermittent:/Or that a water body (lake) disappears seasonally./
The use of seasonal here limits it to things that have a yearly cycle.


I would rather remove the 'seasonal' references .. something like
In Description:/Indicates that waterway or water body is intermittent./ One could add the word/irregular/ or/random/ in brackets if helpfull?


In Key:intermittent:/The tag //*intermittent*=yes//is used to indicate that a waterway (river, stream, etc.) or a water body (lake) has random dry and wet periods./
Any 'season' things should be addressed by the key:seasonal.


+1, likely this will require to check the 927000 objects that currently are tagged as intermittent?



The OED definition of 'intemittent' is 'that intermits or ceases for a time; coming at intervals; operating by fits and starts'. To intermit is 'to cease or stop for a time'.
