Let’s just keep this scoped to first aid kits.  If it was staffed location, I’d probably use something under `healthcare=*`  (maybe `clinic`)

Generally, it is not OK to set up wiki pages for rarely used tags out from nothing, they should be added as proposals to make it easier for inexperienced mappers to distinguish established tags from adhoc drafts without consolidated content.

Yes it is OK to
- invent a new tag value and
- setup a wiki page for it and
- notify the tagging list.

People do this all the time (maybe without notifying the tagging list, but let’s encourage more of that).

Proposals should only be for when we’re inventing a new toplevel key or introducing a change that affects a lot of things (like PTv2, healthcare, etc).  I see a lot of proposal misuse and proposals that shouldn’t be proposals in the first place - let’s stop doing this.

Err .. proposals can be for anything, including sub tags. There should be more of it. Things like the sub tag 'sales' under motorcycle shops could have been avoided if that had come to the tagging group.



FWIW, someone else already made the wiki page.  I’ve cleaned it up and added the preset to iD.

So that’s the tag.  Be glad we accomplished something!

Something? If that something is poor then is is not an accomplishment.

The value of 'first_aid' could be applied to a 'first aid room' ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_aid_room'

Most kits are portable, many of them are designed to be portable. are these included? No information on the OSMwiki page.

73 is not a status of  'in use' !!!!
