This is the discussion page for the Lounge tag proposal

Status?

Sounds like a very useful tag in my opinion.--Rene78 (talk) 04:21, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Rationale for having it is still the same, but I think the main issue with the original proposal was defining lounges, and the RFC discussion tailing off to cover other things (including eg waiting areas at healthcare facilities). This was abandoned, but I see some limited use in the database - feel free to push this further. Tohaklim (talk) 16:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Tohaklim. Thanks for the proposal by the way! How to push it further? This tag proposal process seems quite complicated. --Rene78 (talk) 06:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Rene78, it may be easier to draft a new proposal (could use this one as a rough template, but overall it's not specific enough I think). The next step would be to send the proposal link to various discussion fora, eg the Tagging mail list or the new discussions forum, to get comments (RFC stage). This will generate feedback that you may or may not want to incorporate. Once that is done, you could go to the voting stage.
I think the proposal as is would not get community approval in a vote, as it is quite broadly defined, and the proposal offers multiple tagging options for eg access (instead of clearly setting out one scheme).
That said, you could try to use the tag despite it not being voted on - eg creating a wiki page for it and documenting how to use it. We have a few In use/de-facto tags that never went through the proposal process, but still gained traction.

I strongly support this proposal! Priority Pass lists 1,400+ airport lounges, so definitely no "limited use". Many ports of all kind have exclusive waiting areas known as lounges, but there are also some in cities as alternative cafés or in cinemas. Tohaklim, please reopen the request for comments and start a voting or let us know to take over. --MiMoHo (talk) 15:25, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @MiMoHo, Rene above was also interested, however the proposal process is quite tedious and the tag needs more work (as outlined above, eg on access subscheme, although could be part of another proposal). Feel free to edit and move forward
