Maybe we need two separate pages, one with ALL approved features (which may be 
called, by the (high)way, Approved Map Features) and another one as a first-
stop with the most used features (which can be called Map Features or Most 
Used Map Features and change the link in the wiki main menu).

This way, we will have the perfect solution for the problem: a comprehensive 
list with all community-approved tags and links to all their descriptions, 
usages, examples and caveats (and voting pages or messages), and a really 
useful page for novice mappers.
