Note that this page never lost really useful documentation. There was https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:man_made%3Dwater_tank&oldid=1245262 with claims either dubious or completely obvious.
I restored "similar tags" section. "Why is the definition for the tag removed" it never had a good definition. "Why should someone not " (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database"" https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct "I also believe replacing the tag image with this one" >From looking through history this page never had an image anyway.
