[OSM-talk] Overhaul of voting process (was: Road crossings proposal - status?)

[Stephen Hope]

But what is a significant amount of use?  You can't just go on
numbers.  Based on the posts a month or so back about badly formed
tags, there are probably more misspelled versions of the main highway
tags than legitimate versions of many other tags.

I would, in fact, think that a well thought out tag that covers some
obscure feature that only occurs maybe a thousand times world wide,
and is currently only mapped 10 times is equally as valid in Map
Features as something that is found every few miles.  I want to go to
Map Features to look for that odd thing I've found, not have to hunt
through Map Features, then try the Proposed Tags as well.

Though I'd be happier to do that if somebody could come up with a
decent search on the wiki that only looked at the tags pages, not
everywhere else that something may have been mentioned, when I'm
trying to find what odd tags are being used for whatever I'm looking
for.
