[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Discourage tourism=gallery

[Colin Smale]

Thanks Max - that sounds clear and objective to me, and from an informed
source. 

Why don't we just copy this text to the wiki so (with a bit of luck)
newly tagged museums/galleries/shops will follow this pattern. Then we
can discuss the relative merits of a wholesale retagging of the "legacy"
objects, or whether it is better to leave the existing tags in place.
