Tags that are deprecated or are missing information

[chrisdebian]

Hi, all.

Quite often, when I am using the ID editor, I will see warnings that state that some tags in the area i'm looking at, are out of date, or missing information. These tend to be easy fixes, because I just select the option to update the tag. A prime example of this may be a bus stop, that has an older tag version, which has since been updated and if the update was implemented, the mapper would be able to add more information to the node/ item.

OSM policy strongly discourages automated updates of out of date tags, because generally the tag needs checking by a human, to make sure it is a sensible change. It occurred to me that this would be a good use of SC.

Is this something that has been considered?

I've attached a screenshot, which may help clarify what i'm trying to convey.

Many thanks,

Chris
