>not:XX
>- 20k uses with 200 different keys

>-  https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=not%3A

>Both Wiki pages read almost identical, with slightly different

>I think the current situation with two almost identical tags is a bit

>I see two possible options here:

>- define the different scopes of the two tags more clearly and stress
>   the differences on both Wiki pages.
>
>- mark the less used 'no:' prefix as deprecated and favor the quite
>   common 'not:' prefix instead.
