oh, thank you for pulling the attention to this. The cited sentence was
introduced in April this year here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Ahistoric%3Dtomb&diff=1017293&oldid=1014489

without any discussion, but appearently by translating from a German page.
In the 3 years before there was a redirect to this proposal page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/tombs

Where the definition is: "

This aims to be a tag for all kind of tombs: mausoleums, pyramids, simple
tombs, prehistoric tombs, tumuli, rock-cut tombs.

To tag the persons buried in a tomb, see the person
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:person> relation and the
JOSM tomb
plugin <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Tomb_Plugin>."



My suggestion would be to substitute the cited sentence with "This is a tag
for all kind of tombs, e.g. mausoleums, pyramids, simple tombs, prehistoric
tombs, tumuli, rock-cut tombs and others" or something similar.


cheers,

Martin
