yes, I don't think it was a good idea to make so many pages
which all contain definitions for the same tag. The key
definition page is OK, but the "Aeroways" page would have
sense tp explain the concepts, give background information,
etc., but it shouldn't be a mere replication of the aeroway
key page. If we don't have anything to say compared to what
should be on the key page, then we could consider removing the
page alltogether.
Please don't do that. Having read all of the aeroway related wiki
pages the Aeroways page is the best written of them. Based on the
discussion pages it's also the primary page.
before removing it, we should merge the content to the other pages of
course. I'm not saying it has to be removed, but if the only purpose
is defining tags, rather than giving an overview or summary, then this
content should go to key and tag definition pages. The primary page
for tag definitions should be tag definition pages, and there
shouldn't be conflicting information on overview pages.
I don't think the page should not be removed.
It should be similar to the highways page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway#Roads
A place where the general summary is a things aeronautical.
When you want a definition, then you go to the specific page.

The problem of any conflicting tag information needs to be resolved ...
here in this list. Not by wiki edit wars.
Part of why I raise the airstrip/runway issue.
To me the use of airstrip looks to be a runway as far as I can tell from
those places where more than a simple node has been used for airstrip.
This fits reasonably well with rendering practices as they are not
rendered until zoomed in a fair way.
I think it is a similar situation to the path/footway issue .. and could
be stopped now.
I have recently added a fair few 'runways', that could be considered
'airstrips' by others.
I have not, as yet, changed any 'airstrips' into runways yet. I am
letting this discussion run and then see what I think at the end.
Ah.. LINZ definitions found
airstrip = an area that consists only of a grass (sometimes limestone)
runway in a remote location
aerodrome = other airfields licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority of
New Zealand, and also military airfields
airport = those used for scheduled air services
So the majority of OSM airstrips are from the LINZ import .. and LINZ
says they are runways surface=unpaved and that is the way they should
have been tagged rather than introduce a new tag.
I don't think much of their definitions though.
