[OSM-talk] Would some wiki admin please move the page gluten_free=* back to proposal namespace

[Cartinus]

No that is not beside the point at all.

cuisine=vegetarian has 871 uses
diet:vegetarian has 456 uses

Because diet:... is approved people are suddenly allowed to write on
both the cuisine page and the diet:... page that you shouldn't use
cuisine=vegetarian?

gluten_free=yes has 53 uses
diet:gluten_free has 88 uses

This insignificant difference suddenly lets you declare one key as
controversial and hardly used?

You can't play the numbers game only when it suits you and stay believable.



Or maybe we should be grateful that the diet:... keys only contain one
colon and just accept it :rolleyes:
