Agreed. I already mentioned this to the user who created the tag on the page Talk:Tag:landcover=dunes https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landcover%3Ddunes (note plural "dunes"); t
There seems to be confusion about what the key "landcover" means, because recently there have also been pages created for landcover=water and landcover=hedge as well. This also brings up the question: is it appropriate to edit pages like this to mention the more common tags at the top, e.g. natural=dune, natural=sand? Often other editors are unhappy when I add something like "Consider using the more common tags natural=dune or natural=sand" - but if anyone can create a Tag: or Key: page, it seems important that similar and synonymous tags are mentioned at the top.
