I have asked WJtW about this in june this year but received no answer.
Then I saw user BAGgeraar remove the tracks tag so I asked him about it
and he too asked WJtW and received no answer.
On the german forum there is a thread [1] about it also indicating it is
a superfluous tag when all tracks are mapped.
It borders on vandalism.

Hi,
User WJtW[1] has been making large numbers of edits to railways across
Europe in the past few months, all with the changeset comment
"Electrified". Most of them are adding tags like gauge=1435 which may
well be right (although I have no idea of his source for this).
However on many occasions he has added tracks=N to the individual
tracks where they are already mapped as N separate tracks. According
to the wiki this should now be interpreted as N*N tracks. For example,
the Channel Tunnel Rail Link south-east of London, is composed of two
tracks (see [2] for a sample way). They are now both tagged with
tracks=2, saying that each way represents 2 tracks, suggesting there
are 4 in total, which is wrong.
I have sent two messages explaining as above and requesting that they
review this tagging, but no response so far. I noticed that another
mapper has also added a comment to at least one changeset with the
same intent.
Any ideas how we can stop this behaviour, and repair the "damage"?
