not sure what exactly the suggestion is - but if it is to use special
tags, that's probably not good. we want all the users, including the
pokemon go players, to add real, existing things. when they do that,
there should be no problem with using the established tags.
if they add bad data, it doesn't matter what tags they use.

the best would be to educate them, and review changes by new users :)
