It looks like the waterway=canal page hasn't been updated with the
key:lock details since that page was more recently proposed. I think
I used the Key:lock information when I was tagging them some earlier
this year.
e.g. 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/35040461

lock:ref seems to have been added to the waterway=canal page as a
suggestion relatively recently. 

I don't believe any renderers currently render locks though. Perhaps
updating the waterway=canal page to refer to the key:lock page would
help.
