The wiki's supposed to document how tags are used in OpenStreetMap.
Currently https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic covers both
what you changed things _from_ and what you changed things _to_.
It also suggests that "diplomatic" isn't a top-level tag ("In
conjunction with office
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office>=diplomatic
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Ddiplomatic>, this key
helps...), whereas
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/office%3Ddiplomatic
says "Elevation of diplomatic
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic>=* to primary tag
status".
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic contains lots of tags
listed as "in_use" where "This tag does not appear in the OSM database".
An example of an "old" page is
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:diplomatic%3Dhigh_commission .
It reads like proper documentation. An example of a new page is
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:embassy%3Dhigh_commission ,
which does not. If someone unfamiliar with the history was to look at
the wiki, they may well pick the "old" scheme because it looks better
documented.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:consulate suggests "Requires
office=diplomatic and diplomatic=consulate on a node". I don't know if
you think that that is supposed to be true or not, but it's not how I
read the proposal.
The dead link to honorary_consulate seems to have been fixed - thanks to
whoever did that.
Best Regards,
Andy
