In this particular case, that depends on whether the community thinks <br>
that "webpage" is an exact synonym for "website" or not. This list is <br>

That's a bit of a stretch, to be honest. According to <br>
<a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/webpage#chronology" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/webpage#chronology</a> , it never got <br>
