[Tagging] about landcover/landcover=grass

[muzirian]

I was going through the landuse=grass. And found this there

 "It is typical that landuse
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=*grass* is misused and
should be changed to landcover
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landcover>=grass
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landcover%3Dgrass> (for example:
patches of grass between tracks in railway corridor - area that should be
tagged with landuse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=
railway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Drailway>)."

And landcover=grass has a wiki page but when clicked on landcover it takes
me to its proposal which and it doesnt say it has been approved or put to
vote.

I was wondering why landcover=grass has a page and directs people to use a
tag for whose key hasnt been well documented or approved.
