[…] a consensus has since emerged. It is advised to solely use the primary tag sport=rugby. From there, if you know the version of rugby played at the location you are mapping, you can add a minor tag of rugby=union or rugby=league.
Although no source for where exactly this consensus was found is given (I assume it was a discussion on the talk mailing list), the sport=rugby approach does seem reasonable to me.
However, the wiki is not consistent on this: The Key:sport page does not list sport=rugby at all and the Tag:sport=rugby_*subpages do only slightly hint towards the sport=rugby tag and not list the values themselves as discouraged or deprecated. Further, usage numbers of the "old" tags do not seem to slow down. :thinking:
Checklist:
[ ] drop the rugby_union value in the sport field
[ ] add the value rugby in the sport field
[ ] update the tags of the preset for Rugby League Field
[ ] update the tags of the preset for Rugby Union Field
[ ] add deprecation rules for sport=rugby_league to sport=rugby + rugby=league and for sport=rugby_union to sport=rugby + rugby=union
