As we map different physical landcovers by eg. landuse=grass,
landuse=forest
No. landuse=forest is for managed areas .. not for a general tree area.
use natural=wood (for the render).
I place additional tags with these land cover features
landuse=grass gets landcover=grass
natural=wood gets landcover=trees
natural=sand gets landcover=sand
and so on.
, natural=sand, natural=water etc. There is theoretically no tag for
urban areas covered by little stones like on this photo:

There is natural=scree tag, but is for mountain regions

I think that natural=shingle is the nearest one tag for this feature
and its meaning can be extend to include also little stone areas in
cities. Creating a new tag would rather make a more mess than
clarifying the situation.

I would like to edit the wiki page for the tag above. Do you agree?
No.
If you don't want to use a tag that say what the area is used for but
use a tag that says what is there ..
well landcover=gravel will do that. It will not render, but as a mapper
you have indicated what is there. Over 400 uses of that in the data base.
