You do not have to have a user page for voting, nor can anybody tell which wiki account belongs to which osm account (if they use minimum opsec like a different email address for registering, and maybe a VPN or different dynamic IP), nor is there a formal requirement to be otherwise active in OSM in order to participate in the proposal process, although it is also highly unlikely someone without significant interest in OSM would take part in voting. Not a big problem, also because voting is not very important, you can still use or not use a tag that was approved or rejected, and to get a tag established you need more than a positive vote, people must be using it. You must take the hurdle of an initial critical mass, then editors will likely catch up with their presets.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Martin<br></div></div></div>
