It looks like the wiki[1] was updated last December to add in the big box
office supply stores. It does seem like a small card/stationery shop is a
better match for shop=stationery. The big box stores like Staples would
better fit to shop=office_supplies. But unless the editor presets are
changed and someone changes existing tags, we should stick with the current
definition.

[1]An example of these in the USA would be Office Depot, Staples, and
Office Max.
