Except.... that's not true. In Ireland "handball" is Gaelic Handball¹ which is a one-on-one game, not a team sport (which is apparently a different thing²). There are some sport=handball's tagged in Ireland. Now the tag is clearly wrong, and we need to figure out something about that. But if you just change sport=handball to sport=team_handball, then you've entered incorrect data, based on incorrect assumptions.
There is the use case where one tagging scheme has been deprecated by community consensus and one (combination of) tag(s) should be changed into another (combination of) tag(s) globally.
Big question: What defines "community consensus"?
Though, note, for all three cases, a prior consensus is required, either by prior discussion or by looking at what was previously agreed on in the wiki. That is the case for *any* organized re-tagging of existing tags.
Not everyone (incl me) thinks that the wiki defines what a tag should mean... ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_handball ² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handball _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
