The Key:<keyname> pages are just regular wikisites and not templates. This is the reason why you normally have to add the same template including the translation to both sites instead of crosslinking them. I've created the Key:<keyname> pages to give a basic overview about the Key itself with all the interresting information that come with them. See the [[Key:highway]] [1] site for reference. Together with the short overview we can add every key to a category and thus make it possible to parse every existing key in an easy way to find out which keys might be misused or never got "approved". > My problem is that the template only shows "official" values for the > shop key, but there might be more tags that are used only locally.

You "could" change the basic template (for example [[Template:Map_Features:shop]] ) and add the "unofficial tags" there as well to archive your goal. The problem is, that the <Language>:Map_Features will turn into a huge list and soon be to big for the MediaWiki. > The other thing I don't really understand are the pages for > Tag:<key>=<value>.

The Tag:<key>=<value> exist as documentation for every existing Tag we have. No matter how important the Tag is. If necessary you can add there additional information (see [2] ) but even if you just add a picture and a short description its fine too. At the moment i use the Tag:<key>=<value> pages as a source for Tagwatch to get descriptions for each tag. In the future i hope to have a category with all "proposed and unofficial" tags too that can just be parsed with 3rd party tools. The Tagwatch description pages can then be used to reflect what Tags are used and have a full list with descriptions as well. A few problems still exist. First off, i can't process the complete planet.osm file on my laptop and therefore just show what Tags are used in a specific country. The 2nd problem is the lack of documentation about the Tags in the wiki and a missing structure for all "non approved" tags. Hope this clarifies some of your questions.
