Recently I opened a thread about a “deprecated” feature, at which @Matija_Nalis replied that it was an undiscussed wiki edit. This edit automatically added that page to "Category:Tag descriptions with status “deprecated” tho.
Recently I opened a topic in which another deprecated feature was mentioned, it has been un-deprecated today by @Something_B , but previously was added automatically to "Category:Tag descriptions with status “deprecated”
So, if you add the deprecate status to a wiki page, the page is automatically added to Category:Tag descriptions with status “deprecated” and this banner appears:
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
but if you go to that page, some features have the following reason for the deprecation:
Taken from Category:Tag descriptions with status “deprecated”
My point:
if pages are added to that category automatically when the status is changed (even after undiscussed edits), can it be used as a reason in that page? I think it should link to a discussion or something more “solid”, thoughts?
