please stop deleting the "content" tag! This is the content of the sign, it doesn't describe the sign

Hi, according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:content the content key is for materials in tanks or even pipelines. While https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description is very commonly used, the optimal choice for mapping the inscription of a sign may be https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:inscription

"content key is for materials in tanks or even pipelines" - true, but keys can mean different things in different contexts.
Could you cite some evidence that "description is very commonly used" for the content of signs?
"inscription" does seem to be the best choice (I was not aware of it - its wiki page seems to have only existed since December of last year), and I would have been fine with you moving the value of the "content" to it rather than "description." Also, in at least one case you moved part of the "content" to the "name" tag, which doesn't make sense. The sign may have content/inscription, but most signs don't have names.

The description key has a lot of values with only one occurrence that seem to be the inscription of something, see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/description#values
I probably did found the inscription key after the changes I made.
Content to name must have been an error.
