[Talk-GB] Tagging showgrounds

Not sure about the tagging/proposal politics but since there are a small
number of showgrounds, is there anything to stop a UK-specific page being
set up on the Wiki for visibility? Then if anyone wants to harmonise the
tags they can use that as a guide to do so.

There's nothing to say we can't tag in any way we want—and again for this
small collection of entities which are clearly all the same fundamental
object—it's only if we want people to be consistent, or to adopt our tags,
that we would need to go through the process of proposed tag adoption.

Regards,
*Paul*
