tag is quite vague and subjective

There are different sizes of "water bottles", how "easy" something is very subjective, "quick" is not the same as "easy", etc. - I think using this tag should be discouraged. --mnalis (talk) 10:38, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

@Mnalis: feel free to mention it on the tag page! I added a bit and liked your comment from SC but I think that you can simply paste that entire GitHub comment on tag page Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 04:32, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
I would have thought there is a bottle=only (4 instances) to show drinking from mouth or hand is not legally allowed, or the outlet physically only fits bottle.

"Quick" and "easy" refilling

As was written previously on the main page: "easy" does not equal "quick". If one can just put the bottle on the ground and it is filled by slowly dripping water in 5 minutes, it is quite "easy", but not particularly "quick". On the other hand, one might be able to fill the bottle in just 5 seconds, but they need to stand on one leg extending themselves on 45 degrees, trying to hold on bare wet rock with one hand while filling the bottle with another - it is quite "quick", but not "easy" at all. (and yes, those are real life examples encountered multiple times)

This is a discussion point, so I've moved it here. Both "quick" and "easy" are subjective and are therefore unverifiable and discardable descriptions. A better description is probably "designed for". If someone really wants to map further details like the refilling speed (which is objectively measurable), I recommend the use of other tags following ATYL. --501ghost (talk) 18:51, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
