If you'd like to tag tourism POIs, you should check several wiki pages : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity#Sustenance https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport#Core_values https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leisure All of those are interesting when on holidays but there's no overview about that and the pages aren't linked. Quite complex for a beginner (what will an OSM navigation app user be interested in first ?) Sometimes it's not clear why an item is in a certain category, for example : why is this an "amenity" and not a "shop=vending_machine" ? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine (or an own key vending_machine=). You will always have differences in definitions, especially in different countries. There's a nice example in the German Duden dictionary / Duden Fremdwörterbuch (foreign word dictionary) : "intellectual" is in one defined as someone with higher education, in the other one as someone who questions things critically "in a mental creative way". Doesn't exclude each other, but quite different. I agree that in some cases it might be difficult (just) to link to wikipedia, but I'm pretty sure that it helps to get some background information about the "big picture" in case you personally just know certain aspects of this item.
