Removing unused and completely unrelated prefixes

We have quite a few prefixes which are neither related to OSM nor geo data in general nor used. They can be confusing for other users and I would therefore suggest to remove them. I am talking of the following ones:

Specific posts or arbitrary paths?

@Tigerfell: has proposed a few very sensible additions to the list. But the suggestion to make forum: point to a specific topic, rather than any arbitrary path on the forum (such as an individual forum on the site), gets me wondering if we should do the same for taginfo: and lists:. Should we make these prefixes more consistent? – Minh Nguyễn 💬 01:24, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Well, it is probably better to have more general paths or we will end up with osm-way = osm.org/way and osm-relation = osm.org/relation and so on. For consistency, I would change the forum to https://forum.openstreetmap.org/$1, but I would leave my suggestion for lists, because almost all URLs start with this whole prefix. The only exceptions are viewing the list of mailing lists at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo and viewing the general info about a list at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/accessibility for instance. --Tigerfell This user is member of the wiki team of OSM (Let's talk) 08:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
