+1, IMHO there is a key missing for the rails because railway=rail is
not the tag we should use for cranes.

In the wiki the suggested values for crane:type also seem not to fit
well in our general tagging scheme:
crane:type=*                <Portal crane|Floor-mounted crane|Travel Lift>

(because of the spaces and capitalization).

Looking at the actual values in use there seems space for wiki optimization:
