We can check for properties where the brand:wikidata tag was left behind by checking the other tags, particularly name= and shop=.

This latter aspect shows that editors other than iD may not surface Wikipedia/wikidata tags & that therefore such data needs to be cross-checked, and bulk edits may inadvertently change other things. In many ways I prefer that we acquire new local mappers (like OftenResident in Alfreton) who notice that an area is out-of-date & set about getting it up-to-date, rather than doing a partial update and missing other info (like the shop is now a hairdresser). Obviously others think we should keep everything as up-to-date as the information we have available. I don't think we have ever reached a consensus on this.

Personally I like the `disused:` prefix. I couldn't see if it was mentioned anywhere, but we can also query for all the locations explicitly marked as part of the Thomas Cook brand using the `brand:wikidata` tag: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/MFP All of the results here can really be automatically re-tagged as disused or vacant since we explicitly know they were locations belonging to Thomas Cook (the beauty of wikidata tagging). You might say some may already have been sold and re-signed, but that can always be tagged after - we at least know for certain that none of them are Thomas Cook travel agency shops anymore. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
