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.
I'm in no way justifying any of the landcover=* tags that user has
invented, but I can
see from his edit comments why he invented landcover=hedge. He either
didn't read
about, or did not like, barrier=hedge + area=yes so came up with
landcover=hedge to
use to represent that situation. Whatever his reason, he seems rather
detached from
reality and insulates himself with a thick layer of Dunnnig-Kruger.
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.
As this page presents the values as a table then possibly the alternate
tags can be a separate column in the table?
Should these alternative also be presented in a similar fashion on the
pages presented as alternatives?
Even though it may trigger an edit war by this user like this one, go
for it.
Think the user has gained some perspective..

So removal of landcover=dune might 'succeed'.
