I guess you have never tried to find a tag description on the wiki then.
You will just have to imagine having open 3 very long pages of approved /
proposed / abandoned proposals and searching for something which just
approximates a particular type of "amenity" - let's assume its the workplace
of an osteopath, and reading all the tags trying to decide whether this has
its own tag already, or if it belongs with some other similar ones - say
"physical therapists" or "allied health".
Now imagine reading the Italian wiki pages or the German wiki pages, whichever
you can manage least, and consider the difficulties of finding a tag out of
hundreds when its not your own language.
Those are all value tags. When you search for those, the key tag is
irrelevant:

Any problem finding a value within the wiki is more a problem of the
wiki than anything else.
