Fixes #3797

Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • Remove natural=marsh from rendered features

Explanation:

Currently natural=marsh is rendered, however, the correct tagging for a marsh is natural=wetland + wetland=marsh as with other types of wetland. These two options are currently both rendered identically

According to the wiki, natural=marsh has not been recommended since January 2009 or earlier, and the page has specified that this tag is deprecated since 2016.

Since 2009, wetland=marsh has shown steadily increasing usage. It is now used 135,000 times, compared to 9000 remaining uses of natural=marsh:

Test rendering with links to the example places:

Before
natural-marsh-current

After
natural-marsh-after

With that change I'd like to ask if there would be any downsides to changing all
Natural Marsh tags to
Natural wetland

Also yes I like your proposal since the tag is deprecated

You may certainly edit any features in your local area which you can confirm to be marshes. If you want to semi-automatically change a large number of features, see this warning:
"Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the Automated Edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted."
