<div>Unless you can justify a difference based on the nature of the information recorded instead of tag counts, deprecating contact:phone makes tagging less orthogonal, which is a nuisance for both mappers and map consumers.</div>

<div>https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:phone and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:contact don't provide any tagging method to tag numbers for emergency, general enquiries etc. Both keys just allow the tagging of one phone number on one object.<br>
<br>
But feel free to write a proposal to extend the tagging scheme of `phone` to:<br>
- `phone`<br>
- `phone:emergency`<br>
- `phone:night`<br>
- `phone:press`<br>
<br>
Feel free also to extend the `email` tag:<br>
- `email`<br>
- `email:press`<br>
- `email:legal`<br>
<br>
But we're drifting away from the topic "Multiple tags for one purpose". We should discuss the problem of "fragmentation" in general. But deprecating `contact:phone` in favor of `phone` can be the logical step.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<p>Your model (using only phone=*) only allows an object to have a single phone number. How do you propose modelling multiple phone numbers on a single object? For example, one for general enquiries, one for emergencies, one for staff,...</p>

Yes, I recommend deprecating `contact:phone`</p>

<br>
seems fair that "key:phone" shows up first for a search for "phone", it's straightforward, and it's also the most used tag for phone (numbers).<br>
<br>
The contact prefix is pointless, why would we make everybody who doesn't use presets type longer key names when there are no alternatives which would require to distinguish the tag from? People who do use presets don't have to care for tag names anyway.<br>
<br>
If you search for "contact phone" the first hit is key:contact, one could argue a better result would be showing key:phone first for this search term as well, as it is the mostly used tag for a generic phone number.<br>
<br>
What about deprecating the contact: prefix, at least for phone? It doesn't seem it will ever make it and is basically a deliberate tag fragmentation.<br>
<br>
