I think it is a bad idea to connect the meaning of osm tags to definitions
in wikipedia, because the content of wikipedia articles is not something we
control. When the wikipedia article changes (e.g. it gets extended or
restrained by splitting it up) it doesn't imply that the objects with a
certain tag in osm change nature.

cheers,
Martin
