IMHO, if someone has the authority to put something on Map Features someone also has the authority to change or remove something or mark it 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".

Well, whole Map Features is about how people "should" tag things (not how they "must" tag things). The first paragraph says that you can tag how you want but this is the core recommended feature set. If something is not recommended anymore it needs to be marked as such and eventually removed. > > I am also thinking about renaming the page altogether.

Whether you call those tags "deprecated", "obsolete" or "old" is secondary. As long it is clear that Map Features is only a recommendation it should also be clear that a deprecated feature on there is also only a recommendation as well.
