What is the best way to mark an inactive bus stop? (lemmy.world)

I've encountered a bus stop that still exists, but has a sign from the city saying that no busses stop there. There's the disused tag on the wiki which seems relevant, but I'm not sure how to tag it exactly. There's lots of tags like ref, route_ref, operator:wikidata and so on. Should all of those tags get prefixed with disused:?

i'm no expert — consensus sounds like putting disused only on the main tag, and when i've encountered this, i haven't marked anything disused at all. i've only looked at the stop/platform to make sure they weren't in any relation (transit line relations may include the passing way but shouldn't include the disused stop/platform). and i make sure route_ref isn't set on the stop/platform. were the stop to be used again, i figure it would have the same ref/stop id and operator, so i don't remove them. listening for better ideas though
