Common Tagging Mistake
 |
While popular, the use of operator=beaver is discouraged as beavers are individual rights and can't be united as a single entity. operator:type=beaver would be more appropriate, unless differentiation between corporate and non profit beavers is deemed necessary. |
|
While similar to the man_made=*, beaver_made=*'s use count was too low to be kept as good practice. |
