sometimes the most applicable tag is not sufficiently well describing/ distinguishing a feature and it is better to introduce a new tag that fits 100%

To me, the Term "wadi" is quite specific for certain waterways that occur in a certain region of the world. We can decide whether we'd want to use it anyway everywhere for "similar" (or partly similar) features or if we introduce other, dedicated  tags on the same level of specificity for these features. Why not having a tag waterway=wash, or are those really the same than a "wadi"?
