<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
My spelling check does not like "unremovable" but instead suggests
"irremovable." However, if I want to be nit-picky, all bollards are
ultimately removable, so maybe more appropriate values would be
"retractable" and "non-retractable."

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
Around here, many removable bollards are removed by unlocking a lock
near the ground and lifting them out manually - I'm not sure if I
would describe that as "retractable".
Others are unlocked and then can be put flat against the ground,
that's covered by "hinged" I guess but only 3 uses worldwide...
perhaps covered by "foldable" with 62 uses.
"Fixed" does sound to me more straightforward than "unremovable" though.</pre>

<pre>I too prefer 'fixed'.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>Foldable, is also in some sense irremovable/unremovable (spell check objects) where as I think 'fixed' is a better description as it implies not foldable, removeable nor lowerable.
</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>So I would have 4 things to describe bollard status of permanency;</pre>
<pre>fixed</pre>
<pre>foldable</pre>
<pre>removable</pre>
<pre>lowerable</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>I note there are at lest 3 keys used;</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>bollard:type ... looks like it is used to describe the structure ... and also the permanency
</pre>
<pre>bollard_type similar to bollard:type</pre>
<pre>bollard_crossing ... I have no idea.</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>None of these have a wiki!</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre>Suggest that a descriptive key name be used!!! The word 'type' has no information.
</pre>
<pre>bollard_permanency=*???
</pre>
<pre>And make a wiki entry for it please.
</pre>
<pre>If you want, then another key so the above does not get polluted?
</pre>
<pre>bollard_structure=block/post/*
