Talk:Tag:natural=tree stump

missing underscore in headline

There is an underscore missing in the headline - it's "tree_stump", not "tree stump"! (Like in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree_row) I don't know how to change/move this article... --Supaplex030 (talk) 23:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, it's a function of the mediawiki software to convert the underscores in spaces, I've resolved this now by applying the Tag template. --Dieterdreist (talk) 10:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Status: "de facto" or "in use"

Hi Joseph, I have seen you depromoted natural=tree_stump, and I agree usage numbers are not through the roof (yet), but it is in significant use and no alternative tag is competing with it. It has gained nearly 500 uses in 1.5 years and is constantly growing. For me, as there are no alternative ways to tag tree stumps, this is the defacto tag. —Dieterdreist 13:13, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

My understanding of the definition of "De facto" comes from the page Template:ValueDescription where it states:

"de facto or defacto: the tag is in widespread use, but no formal proposal process has taken place"

Since tree stumps are very common, a few hundred uses of the tag is not yet "widespread use".

Also, the page suggest this tag is mainly meant as a type of note=* or fixme=* when a tree is missing in certain aerial imagery; this should probably be discussed on the Tagging list? --Jeisenbe (talk) 13:30, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

This is not meant as fixme or note, it may just be additional benefit in certain situations, but the tag is about a tree stump, and if there was a tree but no stump is left, the tag does not apply. —Dieterdreist (talk) 13:39, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
