After digging further into this, and with all XAPI servers seemingly
unresponsive I looked toward tagwatch, the following are historic
values of curious note:
yes (5053)
pa (2138)
battlefield (331)
Altstraße (80)
heritage (76)
tumulus (60)
industrial (54)
coat_of_arms (54)
hollow_way (41)
road (3
I think it is what it is, adding a subtag such as robbery or
battlefield etc but I already documented this on the wiki

My main points from my original post still stands, I feel that the
wiki is inadequate to deal with the task of maintaining an index of
tag definitions properly, it is simply too much effort to be useful
for less common tags because you have to spend too much time searching

I've coded up a VERY VERY basic proof of concept:

So far you can search for a specific tag name, view the description of
the tag, add a tag and add values for a tag and a description of the
value.
As an example I added the 'highway' tag, and 'motorway' value and
copied
I wrote up a wiki page, including a possible feature set.
