Comment from Mateusz Konieczny
You added some man_made=drinking fountain
I am writing to you as I also tried using this tag, discovered some problems with it (and other drinking water point tagging), and want to improve situation. I started from recommending to not use this tag as it has some problems and is a trap (partially due to English being confusing). Discussion takes place on tagging mailing list, and it is best to comment there ( see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_mailing_list for some hints how to join ).
See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2022-October/thread.html#65730 for the thread
Currently no one opposed and I plan to describe it as deprecated at OSM Wiki.
If you think that it is a bad idea for some reason - let me know (for example, full scale deprecation proposal could be done)
The man_made=drinking fountain is for example at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9369041795/history

Okay. I'm not going to go to the trouble of changing my old features to the new tags or participating in the mailing list discussion (you're free to do both, of course).
What tags should I use next time for an outdoor drinking fountain like the one in this photo? https://www.drinkingwaterfountains.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Drinking-Water-Fountain.jpg

Comment from Mateusz Konieczny
I would use amenity=drinking_water + fountain=bubbler
fountain=bubbler can be added anyway to such tags as used here
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Dbubbler
I am planning to propose https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Deprecate_man_made%3Ddrinking_fountain - and I will see whether deprecation has broad support
