Of course nobody would remove a tag from Map Features as long as it is still widely used! It seems that User:Sergionaranja was unclear about this and has accidentally removed highway=gate and others from Map Features (and indeed documented some barrier=* tags on the Map Features:highway template where they don't belong!). I have reverted that edit, and added a proper section for the "barrier" tag. > or clearly marked as depreciated There is no authority in OSM that has the power to mark anything as deprecated. I have modified the wording on the page "deprecated features" to clearly say that these are tags for which a replacement is recommended, not "deprecated tags that should no longer be used". Whoever put that wording in there, please note that you have *no* authority to tell people how they "should" tag things! I am also thinking about renaming the page altogether. There is simply no room for the word "deprecated" here. I'm just unsure about the new name. "Old features"? "Older features"? > and no new data has been added with that tag for > a good while (a year maybe) it is probably safe to convert existing > occurances to the new scheme and stop supporting the old one, IMHO. It is probably never "safe" but at some time one has to move on, we cannot support old stuff forever.
