The status should in some way make it clear to people who use the wiki as a tagging reference whether the contents of the page should be taken into account or not. If the proposal has been "abandoned" but what is suggests has nonetheless entered wider usage, then it is de facto accepted by the community, and you could not easily make a case to say it should not be followed. If the main wiki has not (yet) been updated following the proposal, then labelling the proposal as "accepted de facto" would be a simple way of confirming that it is still relevant.

While the actual map usage should be documented on the tag page, still the proposal can be considered abandoned. The typical thing about Abandoning is that the proposer has "ceased to support or look after" [Oxford], the active role of the proposer would be Cancelling. There is a wiki page about the proposal process, which recommends abandoning after 3 month, which I think is too tight. In the specific case, the proposal was to fully replace 'kindergarten' with 'childcare', which was proposed 28 months ago, and has also not happened in practical tagging. This is quite in contrast to successful changing schemes, such as nursing_home to social_facility + sub-tagging. The unfortunate issue with 'childcare' was the insufficient differentiation from other tags in the first proposal, and the unnecessary attempt to replace an established tag in the second. The tag page is extremely vague, so at the end of the day nobody knows what an object such tagged is in reality. tom _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
