Earlier this week, I accepted a PR to our codebase that made a bad and duplicated phone numbers. What happened was, that we use contact:phone=* per convention, but many entries used phone=*, which was not detected by our dupe scanner.

That’s 100% on me. I should have been more vigilant on that one, should have checked better (the few I checked on did not have osm.wiki/Tag:phone=, so that’s another lesson for the books), and should have checked more vigilantly afterwards as well.

What I did: wrote a rescue to check all 600 edits we did, removed phone= dupes, and moved all phone= that were still there to contact:phone= in the process.

We also do contact every albergue we list (and thus sync) and ask them about their preferred/working phone numbers. So we went ahead and removed stale numbers that no longer worked, and updated those that did to a fully working set.

Of course the code is now fixed as well, and all edits have been too. Sorry again, this is 100% on me.
