<div>My view (and not mine only, read the discussion) is that a
wiki should describe how a tag _is_used_ and not how it should
be used.</div>

Definition drift. <br>
<br>
This would see the colour 'purple' redefined as 'blue'. <br>
<br>
I am against it. <br>
<br>
----------------------<br>
My assumptions and a story of drift (fictional .. at least that is
the intent):<br>
A problem with "village_green" is that was not well defined. <br>
Everyone initially concerned knew what it is and so assumed that the
words "village green" would convey enough to be clear, after all
they knew what it meant. <br>
People elsewhere took the meaning to mean something else locally and
used it. <br>
These new uses outnumbered the old uses.<br>
The new users change the wiki to incorporate their use - this is the
numerically dominate use so it must be right. <br>
And so the new definition is not what was meant for the old use, so
the old features are now incorrectly tagged. <br>
<br>
Thus OSM has a mess to sort out. <br>
