<p><font face="Verdana">You repaired it Guy, as a community we are
grateful for that.<br>
Be aware that you are free to use any tag you want, the
community being grateful if you document it on the wiki.<br>
When you do a test, with mass automated edits you should follow
the Mass and organised editing guidelines, the community can
help you then in the opinion if it's a smart thing to do,
desirable and implementation and execution acceptable to prevent
damage and insure quality.</font></p>
<p>Of course, proposing and going through the proposal process will
make your initiative evaluated and adopted by a larger mapper and
user audience. <br>
</p>
<p>That being said, you asked me before what I would suggest, I
remain with my previous point of view, being the current
denomination key is well defined and crafted, even on the wiki.
Values are provided and described, both for less specific as very
specific cases, even listing the churches which are in full
communion on the wiki. Just the use of "catholic" as an umbrella
or less specific denomination value could be improved maybe.<br>
Introducing any other new key or subkey is just duplication of
data, is probably not going to reduce inaccuracy in the
denomination key, most likely introduce even more biased and
inconsistent situations.<br>
The current denomination key invites to use a single value, as
specific as feasible for any mapper. Usage of that data, to f.i.
receive only the churches in full communion, is hard to capture
consistently in a single Key. Our wiki comes to the rescue here
(provides links to Wikipedia). Ultimately one could consider using
the wikidata or wikipedia keys to provide linking to more specific
information and background for the denomination value.
key:wikidata can also provide a selection key for data users and
even renderers.<br>

I wanted to apply the catholic=* tag as an experiment to a delimited parameter but :
* That was a silly thing to do without official existence of catholic=*
* That went out of my control and a lot more things were affected

It was an honnet mistake from a new mapper, which was diligently corrected by himself.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">It was an undicussed bot edit that seems to be already reverted
See spike in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/catholic#chronology">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/catholic#chronology</a>
See overpass query counter showing that in current Overpass database
there is exactly 1 such tag. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1acu">https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1acu</a>
So either it is bot edit that just happened or will be reverted soon or
it was reverted already.
Before this discussion started catholic=* tag was basically not used.
