I agree; I spent a few minutes trying to improve the page a bit. However, I don't see much benefit from mapping private household satellite antennas: the dishes in the linked picture above are only 90 cm across, and they are on just about every house. Maybe there are more useful things to map in

I looked into this myself, back when I noticed that some large dishes were mistagged as radio telescopes. For huge communications dishes, there is tower:construction=dish to be used with man_made=tower and we even have a satellite-dish style rendering for this at Openstreetmap-carto, for some
