That was not the intent.  amenity=bicycle_repair_station was meant for
unattended
tool stands, often outdoors, often 24/7, generally public.

I'm seeking support for a mechanical edit to a new tag name.
There are known automated clients of this tag, and I am in contact with
both.

I'd support a name change.

If you're looking for suggestions, perhaps

amenity=bicycle_tool_station or
amenity=bicycle_tool_stand

which avoids the problem by describing what it IS rather than what happens there, while hopefully also not sounding like a place where you can buy bicycle tools (which amenity=bicycle_tools might).


How do you plan to deal with the incorrectly tagged shops? Leave them as bicycle_repair_station? Give them a new tag of their own? Keep them in the automated edit and hope the new tag name just stops more from being added?

A quick search shows me there are 1922 total things mapped amenity=bicycle_repair_station, and of those 311 have a name tag. Assuming that all of the repair shops will have a name tag, and only some of the things with names are shops, this puts an upper bound of a few hundred incorrectly mapped shops. Of course, it could be hard to tell, as some shops could have outdoor tool stands...
