[Tagging] When was the deprecation of location=kiosk for power=substation discussed?

[Michael Reichert]

Hi,

while adding a substation to OSM yesterday I looked up the possible
values of location=* and missed kiosk. A short glance in the history
showes that it removed location=kiosk from the page on 2018-01-02. The
edit description mentions man_made=street_cabinet+street_cabinet=power
as a replacement.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:power%3Dsubstation&oldid=1542685

location=kiosk was introduced by the approved Substation Refinement
Proposal in 2013.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Substation_refinement#Substation

man_made=street_cabinet was introduced by the Street Cabinet Proposal in
2014.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_cabinet
This proposal does not mention substations or transformers at all.

I think that small substations are not street cabinets because they are
much larger than street cabinets and are usually not located on the
sidewalk but next to it on a separate area.

I don't remember a discussion of this change, do you? If no, I propose
to revert this change on the wiki.

Best regards

Michael
