no reason to have two tags for many of these amenities.

That's not the purpose I started this thread for.
"waterway=water_point" is in use.

The issue of how to tag non-interoperable features is a valid issue, but a much bigger issue. We have mutually incompatible amenities for aircraft, boats and land vehicles. You definitely don't want to put aviation gas into a motorcar for example,

Errrr.. having used avgas in a motor vehicle for many 100s of km ... it is fine, provided you don't have a catalytic converter and/or a lamba sensor. It also deters petrol sniffers.

I'm in the camp of having the same tag for the same thing within OSM.
======================== Back on topic?
The 'problem' looks to have come from incorrect wiki definition. So that is where to start, correctly define it, contact those who have been contributing to the wiki and check they agree with the 'new definition' ... once agreement is reached then proceed with status changes and map edits.
