[Tagging] Wiki Edit War on using/avoiding semicolon lists

[Jo]

Which too schemes? I think you'd need to be more specific.

As for deprecating semicolon-delimited lists. I don't think it's practical
to abolish them completely, so they'll have to stay.

I do agree that it makes sense to try and avoid them as much as possible,
but it's simply not always possible.

As for the remark that route_ref shouldn't exist, and that information
should be in route relations. Well there are bus lines which may never have
route relations. (on demand buses which don't have a fixed route, school
buses, market day buses, Sunday and Friday evening special service fares to
get students home, etc.). But it's still information which is not hard to
map when surveying, and which is good to have when no route relation has
been set up yet, or to validate the correctness of the route relation.

About the remark that it's hard to figure out whether an item is missing
from the list. I'm sorry, but it's not because 7;8;10;11 are there that 9
necessarily is missing from the list.


I deleted everything which was hidden under the three dots.
