Actually, I'm talking about creating a Map_Features page where new values for given keys (e.g. "highway", "shop") appear. The only part I'm complaining is that the Template only allows the "approved" values whereas I'd like it to show the approved ones first and the "semi-legal" ones after a divider line. >> The other thing I don't really understand are the pages for >> Tag:<key>=<value>.

Yes, but in that case, the generic page would be the "Tag:shop" page itself. You have to find a middle point between too many sub-pages (too many clicks to get at the information, can't print it on one long page, etc.) and too long main pages.
