It seems many would find a short video tutorial depicting these
steps very handy. Would you mind sharing on Bitchute or on some
other video hosting site?

I was wishing that someone would write a short tutorial about
relations, the various concepts about tagging them, and problem
solving when something goes wrong with one. I have been unable to
understand with any degree of certainty how and why we create
them, which is the reason I started this thread and contributed to
the other one about tagging groups of lakes. The Wiki is helpful
but leaves out a lot of details. A tutorial, video or otherwise,
would be extremely helpful.

Maybe improving wiki would be a good idea as the first [step].
I find that video tutorials don't often fit my learning style, so I
don't often use them and have never made one. Moreover, I'm an old man
and somewhat set in my ways. Nevertheless, they seem to be demanded,
and if nobody else steps forward, perhaps it will be possible to teach
this old dog that new trick. I'd be willing to take a whack at a
written tutorial, but can't promise any particular time frame. Just at
the moment, I'm chronically busy.
When you want something done, ask a busy person.
The right place might be the Wiki, but I've two reservations. First,
I've simply burnt my fingers too many times when touching a Wikipedia
page. Perhaps this community is a trifle less fiery? Second, what I've
seen on OSM's Wiki (as well as Wikipedia and others) is that editors
jump in to add details that make the presentation more "correct," but
less approachable to a newcomer. For an introductory tutorial, this
drift is disastrous, because introductory material frequently is in
the form of a "lie to children"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie-to-children that is not techinically
accurate, but provides enough of a mental model to do simple things
and prepares the mind to accept a more complete explanation later.
I used the OSM diary entry to do Public Transport. Might work for you .
People can make comments under it .. and you can edit the first entry
you made to correct errors and make changes.
See https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Warin61/diary/45106
Videos are like lessons... you need to be very well prepared to present
them. Written stuff you can do fairly easily and review later. A
presentation (video/lesson) should be correct the first time around. For
preference .. I'd write it .. much less stress.
