More often people change the wiki any way they like because they don't find a suitable forum to ask. Even more often people just invent tags without any documentation or discussion. I have read plenty of the other lists talking about how complicated it is to map pedestrian ways, memorial stones and Austrian street addresses. Meanwhile we don't have a way to tag lava fields, lava flows, hot springs, waterway=dam is a mess, I have just barely fixed waterfalls. The world is just too complicated for one list and for someone mapping the antarctic geology bus route mapping is not so interesting.
