Since the "Valid Multipolygon conditions" section is at the top of the
page, new mappers are reading this first. And if you don't give examples
about what that means (or at least provide appropriate links), many will
stop reading here, bercause they simply can't follow.
I'm in OSM for over a year now and I still shy away from anything
containing multipolygons because I'm not sure I understand them
correctly. So, in my opinion there can't be too many examples (both for
correct and incorrect use of multipolygons).
