| There are, however, alternatives to consider: | ||
| - Your cleanup task might be eligible for an automated (bot) edit. [Please learn more on the wiki…](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct) | ||

maybe it should be made clear that you should consult community? and mass changing tag in JOSM/level0 is still an automated edit?

| - A good way to work down a list of tasks is to create [a MapRoulette Challenge](https://maproulette.org/). For small changes, a [Cooperative Challenge](https://learn.maproulette.org/en-us/documentation/creating-cooperative-challenges/) will likely be a good fit, allowing mappers to change the tagging directly from MapRoulette. |

note that it is not really a good way for anything that requires actual review but has an obvious "fix"
too many people edit blindly or use MR as an automated edit, run via blindly made human edits

This topic came up a couple of times recently and I think it would be good to have a section on this in the docs.
My goal is, to have something to link to when a deprecation rule is added so that PR contributors know that the deprecation rules might not be the tool they are looking for.
This addition likely needs some polishing and I hope for input…
