    Re: shop=vacant. This is a popular alternative tag, but removes the
    previous usage from the latest version. I found knowing this helpful
    when a new shop replaces it - "There's a new café opening in what
    used to be the flower shop"<br>
    How is the name tag dealt with if disused: isn't used?<br>
    <br>
    Tony.<br>
    If the shops are closed tagging them as such improves the quality of
    the database. If they are bought out lock, stock & barrel a mass
    swap over edit can be easily executed.<br>

            I'm a fan of shop=vacant, old_name=Thomas Cook myself
        <br>
        <br>
            You could argue for not:name=Thomas Cook maybe

                I changed the three shops in N.I to
        disused;shop=travel-agent
        <br>
                since I wasn't sure what the best practice was in this
        case.
        <br>
                Not all of them had the wiki links etc. Any advice on a
        better
        <br>
                way?
