<br>
"<i>Proposal</i>
<dl>
<dd><i> A short description of what you want to map, including
links to relevant material with photos if possible.</i></dd>
<dt><i>Rationale</i></dt>
<dd><i> Why the tag is needed, considering significance and
potential uses of the data.</i></dd>
<dt><i>Examples</i></dt>
<dd><i> Names, locations, rough idea of numbers (e.g., one on
every street corner, several in each suburb in Germany, half
a dozen in each South American country).</i></dd>
<dt><i>Tagging</i></dt>
<dd><i>The category the tag falls under (</i><i><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:man_made"
title="Key:man made">man_made</a></i><i>, </i><i><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway"
title="Key:waterway">waterway</a></i><i>, </i><i><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism"
title="Key:tourism">tourism</a></i><i>, etc,), with</i><i><b><big>
a justification of why other similar categories are not
suitable</big></b></i><i> (for instance, there may be
too many to map individually - such as residential
properties in which case a </i><i><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse"
title="Key:landuse">landuse</a></i><i> tag would be of
more use if they are grouped closely enough?).</i></dd>
<dd><i>The name of the tag itself - keep it as short as possible
(15 characters is generally as long as they get), whilst
still being logical, descriptive enough to need little
explanation and not overlapping with another tag in a
different category."</i></dd>
</dl>
That suggests that the proposal page presents justifications ...
I am simply doing what the wiki page suggests! Should the wiki be
changed? And, of course, it needs to be done while this proposal
is in progress... just like the voting change.. grr .. <span
class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>
<br>
The tag description page is based on the proposal page .. but it
does not have a '<i>Rationale' </i>section, a<i> 'rough idea of
numbers'</i> ... it is edited into the tag page. <br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Note .. I have started a new topic for the mark 2 reception desk
.. it would be best to use that so there is less 'baggage' on any
further discussion. <br>
<br>
-------------------------------------fly<br>
Time? There are many proposals that are sitting around .. waiting
on this 'time' thing.. years ... Why? The ones I have looked at
are not changing .. nothing is happening with them - thus there
looks to be no 'development' while they sit and wait. This
proposal is fairly simple - the addition of one simple value to an
already existing key? Any implications ... no I don't think so,
any developments over time .. again I don't see them. <br>
<br>
Consensus .. that is what I'm aiming for. "New" "rules" or not. <br>
<br>
If your only voting on the tag (amenity=reception_desk) why are
you commenting on the documentation? <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>
:-) </span></span> ... That is a joke by the way. <br>
<br>
I have 'improved' the documentation .. there is not much to say
about a reception desk ... fortunately. ( Off topic ; Unlike
'temperature' .. that is getting very big! Perhaps it needs to be
broken up into sections?)<br>

<div dir="ltr">I agree with fly that it would be good to actually
change the proposal page to make it closer resemble the tag
description page. Currently it mainly addresses the RFC process
and questions. As the result, there is no "good" page for which
we could vote. All discussion could be moved to the Talk
subpage.

Sorry, but I usually only vote by using the tag and not on
the wiki,<br>
still I would say, give it more time and improve the
documentation as we<br>
will need it anyway (both the tag and its docu).<br>
<br>
