Discussion
Discussed at https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1679824673294549 https://github.com/OpenSidewalks/OpenSidewalks-Schema/issues/9 https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/proposed-bot-edit-remove-project-opensidewalks-and-project-opensidewalks-in-usa/97601
Consulted with OpenSidewalks people at https://github.com/OpenSidewalks/OpenSidewalks-Schema/issues/9
Repetition
This is a reoccurring edit and may be made as soon as new tagging like this will appear. At this moment triggering new edit requires human intervention and review so exact schedule is not predictable and bot may stop running at any moment.
