I don't see how a name change will help. amenity=bicycle_repair_station and service:bycicle:repair=yes are rather self-explanatory and well defined as far as I can tell. Abandoning a tag because some large contributor misuses it isn't going to improve the state of the database. Contact the ill-advised contributors to make them understand the issue and fix objects which got the wrong tag, but don't move a well-established tag to a new name just to make cleaning up easyer. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
