: Not every obsolete tag is deprecated. There are obsolete tags that went out of use long ago, but no one disapproved them or replaced them with anything. Obsolete status means "not in use anymore". It doesn't say if it can or shouldn't be used.
: "Make the prohibition of usage at Template:Deprecated stronger" -> No, because it contradicts the sentence "OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features". [[User:Maro21|maro21]] 19:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
::While we ''technically'' do not have "banned features", there's a reason we deprecated those tags. Usually, because they're [[synonymous tags|synonymous]] with a better defined or more widespread tag. But the current wording of the template almost ''encourages'' its further use.<br>I'm inclined to shorten that text and dryly point the reader to the [[deprecated tags]] page, which explains the situation in more detail.

: I think that deprecated tag should be marked as deprecated even it's usage equal to zero. As obsoleted may be marked cleaned tags from past imports, for example, because they may be (as minimum, in theory) used again, but not used currently.

::It seems that [[Key:gay]] is both ''deprecated'' (voted as redundant by community in favor of another tag) and ''obsolete'' (not used anymore). So it possibly needs to be placed in both categories. [[User:Duja|Duja]] ([[User talk:Duja|talk]]) 17:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
