Comment:

 Firstly, whipping up a lynch mob on talk-fr is not the right way to have a
 sensible debate. Whether or not you want to comment further, '''do not
 reopen this ticket'''.

 The reason Dave has explained above for using amenity=swimming_pool rather
 than leisure=swimming_pool is that the "community decision" is for
 "amenity=swimming_pool". There are 11,000 more people using it. That
 sounds like a community decision to me.

 15 people's votes on the wiki would not override that. But, as it happens,
 the situation regarding *=swimming_pool on the wiki is exceptionally
 confused. Even the formal vote (not that it's worth anything) for
 leisure=swimming_pool resulted in '''opposed'''. amenity=swimming_pool is
 properly documented and it is only "proposed" there that the leisure tag
 be used instead. Basically, it's a mess. Someone appears to have taken it
 on themselves to add leisure=swimming_pool to Map Features anyway, which
 is fine, but one person editing a page doesn't mandate us to follow them -
 especially when amenity=swimming_pool is still more heavily used in the
 database.

 Development work is underway to allow the user to load a preset file of
 their choosing. This will allow them, for example, to load a "wiki presets
 only" file or indeed any other file. As you have pointed out on talk-fr,
 you can already deploy your own instance with your own tags.
