In case of such barely used tags added in the form of an unreadable table I think that immediate revert of such edit is the best solution. Inventing new tags is OK, using new tags is OK, documenting new tags is OK and desirable. But linking your tag that is barely used everywhere is an unwelcome spam. In such situation I revert edit as soon as I spot it, especially for users who did it already many times and have aggressive usernames that claim to not be experts rather than newbies. example of previous spam wave (mass spamming of broken shop=street_vendor tag): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835047 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835047> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=ES:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835048 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=ES:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835048> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=FR:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835049 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=FR:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835049> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=NL:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835051 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=NL:Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine&diff=prev&oldid=1835051> and in many other languages, also for other shop types
