I’ve encountered a bus stop that still exists, but has a sign from the city saying that no busses stop there. There’s the disused tag on the wiki which seems relevant, but I’m not sure how to tag it exactly. There’s lots of tags like ref, route_ref, operator:wikidata and so on. Should all of those tags get prefixed with disused:?

Should all of those tags get prefixed with
disused:?I think not. It’s been a little bit since I’ve studied or used the
disused:*prefix, but I believe it’s only needed on the main feature tag. (citation needed, ofc)Wiki examples show added to multiple tags:
disused:amenity=pub disused:operator=The Oxford Pub Company name=Fox & Houndshttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix#Examples
disused:amenity=parking disused:capacity=20https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused#Comparison_of_disused=yes_vs_disused:key=*_namespace
My habit is to add it to main tags only, if there are more main tags add it to all of them, but nothing else. Renderer should get from this it’s disused, adding it to
operatororcapacityshouldn’t matter, but it will be more work to change them back when it becomes used again. Changing more tags are more error prone.I would tag a disused bus stop this way:
disused:public_transport=platform disused:highway=bus_stop name=* operator=* shelter=* ...
I agree,
disused:should be only used on the main feature tag.
i’m no expert — consensus sounds like putting disused only on the main tag, and when i’ve encountered this, i haven’t marked anything disused at all. i’ve only looked at the stop/platform to make sure they weren’t in any relation (transit line relations may include the passing way but shouldn’t include the disused stop/platform). and i make sure route_ref isn’t set on the stop/platform. were the stop to be used again, i figure it would have the same ref/stop id and operator, so i don’t remove them. listening for better ideas though
