I'm not sure what ItoWorld is doing here but the wiki is the right place to document tags. It's open to create new tags. But if someone creates a duplicate tag because he's not looking the documentation, then he fails and his tag will never be "used" (the OSM database is full of undocumented and "never used" tags). If the documentation is unclear or incomplete, then we all fail.
