At least in my case it was like this:




- I discovered intermittent tag

- later I encountered someone claiming that seasonal water flow 


  should be tagged with seasonal tag

- I checked intermittent definition in some sources and found no 


  confirmation that "intermittent" excludes cyclic changes
- I continue to use intermittent for anything waterway-related  that has no 
constant presence of water but maybe I also started using  seasonal=yes for 
some clearly seasonal features

BTW, what in your opinion should be used for spring that is
- active during snow melt- active after heavy rains- active continuously if 
within previous months/years weather was wet
?
Note also that successful redefining of popular tags is likely to fail.Changing 
Wiki description is not magically changing what was tagged.
