As I have cleared up some of the obvious mistakes for the golf tag like using capital letters in tags, has there ever been a precedent where someone adopts a tag. For example if I say that I am going to adopt the golf=****** in english for one year. I would put my name up on the wiki page as adoptee.


I've not noticed any announced on this list, but if you're keeping an eye on a particular area you'll spot the same names every now and again making the same sorts of corrections to obvious misspellings. There are probably a dozen of these worldwide already.

The way that I read the current mechanical edits policy
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy

is "discuss here first" (which you've done - thanks!). Some of the "obvious misspelling" correctors probably pre-date that (and even this list), which is why they haven't been mentioned here.

Cheers,
