That page was created in 2013, probably to document existing usage (12000 by now). However, intermittent=yes had been approved 2 years earlier, and it is more flexible and even more widely used. So it seems that waterway=wadi was only used on features created before 2011, or by mappers who don't know about the intermittent=yes tag. For rendering, I would treat waterway=wadi as a shortcut for waterway=river + intermittent=yes. The usual rendering for intermittent waterways is to make them dashed. If a renderer has a distinct signature for wadis but does not support intermittent=yes, I would call that a bug. -- Friedrich K.
