My question/proposal was about what to do with failed proposals in
general. That is:
1. How to identify a "failed" proposal
2. What to do with it
My proposal for point 1 is:
If after say two years new schema does not get at least equal tagging
count as the old schema - proposal failed.
My proposal for point 2 is:
Mark that proposal as "failed" in wiki. Mark all wiki pages which were
marked as "deprecated" because of the failed proposal as "valid".
P.S. This only influences proposals which are CHANGING tagging.
P.P.S. There should also be guards against such proposals in the first
place, but lets park it for now.
'Proposals' .... these should raised on the tagging list;
usually as firstly status=draft, then (usually very quickly) to
status='Request For Comment, then is 2 weeks or so o status='Voting'
then depending on the vote status='rejected' or 'approved'.
Tags that don't go through this process may have there status unset, set
to 'defacto', 'inuse' ... but should not have there status to 'approved'.
Where I make a tag that might conflict with some other .. I usually
mention it on the wiki page I make ...
e.g.
