Wiki describes current tagging, Changing wiki will not change how tag is used in database (see recent

proposal to redefine lanes tag)

Even your explanation is unclear. Is it "present irregularly during summer and not present otherwise"

or "present irregularly during summer and continuously present otherwise".




I am also against complicating intermittent=yes/no tag, please invent new one to record highly complex (and harder to parse) info rather than making currently used tag useless
