Err .. sent to tagging list, so response here. Not to worry, a little more
chatter.
(Should there be a wiki edit list? Or would 'we' all then have to join that
well as the tagging list? Anyone not want to be part of the discussions on wiki
edits possibly of relevance to tagging? )

I think the idea was that a tree with a proper name is an important /
landmark tree?
Perhaps you crazy Europeans name your special trees, eg King George's Oak?
The other suggestion was to use "landmark=yes" but this key is also
not recommended. Someone needs to check how denotation=cluster is
actually used now days.
Correct. I looked it up. :)
The key denotation is meant for special trees .. see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:denotation
So I have changed the wiki again . to simply direct 'special tree' tagging to
that page.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:denotation%3Dcluster
If people want to mention names .. the denotation page would be the better
place for it.

I've edited the page:
1) I reworded some of the helpful changes that Mateusz Konieczny just
made, for better English style.
2) I've removed the implication that de facto / approved are
"recommended" and that "deprecated" / "discardable" etc. are "not
recommended".
I also removed the suggestion that "de facto" tags are supported by
rendering / routing / editing software - while this is usually true,
it isn't what determines if a tag is given "de facto" status.
3) I removed "obsolete" status from the list with deprecated/discouraged.
However, I now think I figured out what this status is supposed to
mean: it's supposed to be used for tags that were deprecated, but now
no longer even appear in the database, so the wiki page is only for
historical information.
Do we really need a special status for this, or should is it ok if I
retag the 6 tags with this status to "deprecated"?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Tag_descriptions_with_status_%22obsolete%22
- Tag:abandoned=yes - recommended replacement abandoned:*=* - used 34,000
times
- Tag:amenity=Kneippbecken - approved replacement is
amenity=kneipp_water_cure - used 0 times
- Tag:man_made=power_hydro / Tag:man_made=power_nuclear /
Tag:man_made=power_wind - use power=generator, generator:source=*
instead - used a couple of times only.
- Tag:denotation=cluster - for special trees. Recommend to use name=*
instead with natural=tree. Had been down to 0 uses at one point, but
now there are a few hundred?
Gah! use name=* for something other than the name? No. Use the description
key for that.
Edited wiki to remove this suggestion.
So only amenity=Kneippbecken and man_made=power_* really fit the
"obsolete" status, though there are a number of tags currently with
"deprecated" that are also no longer found in the database.
Once something has been 'depreciated' but now has little to no presence then
'obsolete' is a good status for it.
