The problem here is that it is not just one or two, there is a
significant group of people, at least a dozen overall i suppose,
who on
the wiki consider it their mission to educate mappers on correct
use of
tags (based on certain ideas regarding key semantics or data model
ideas in general) rather than documenting their actual use. The
uselessness of many tag pages on the wiki -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landcover%3Dgrass and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landcover%3Dtrees are good
examples here - is largely due to that. They are filled with talking
points from the fight for 'correct' key semantics that leave the
mapper
looking for substantial information on tag use with nothing but
confusion.
I made some edits intended to fix this issue:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Landuse&type=revision&diff=1615922&oldid=1601313
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key%3Alanduse&type=revision&diff=1615920&oldid=1557401
In general, on spotting the problem on wiki the best way to deal with
it is to edit it
(it generally takes less time than complaining).
And results in edit wars.
I have amended your edit on landuse... and in landcover
I do not like the change the meaning of land use as defined on its wiki
page. So I have tried to moderate that.
I hope I have been even handed .. but I have my bias too!!!
Would someone like to read them and see what you think? Preferable
someone with less passion than I (and possibly some others).
