The tag man_made=goods_conveyor was proposed years ago for industrial
conveyor belts and systems which move goods like mining ore. It is now
documented as "in use" and used over 4000 times:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aman_made%3Dgoods_conveyor

"A stationary conveyor system for transporting materials between locations."

"How to map: Draw a way way in the direction of the transport and tag
it man_made=goods_conveyor. You can add the tag resource=* to indicate
the material being transported."

Usage is global:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=man_made&value=goods_conveyor#map

But it's not on the Key:man_made page or Map Features.

Is there enough usage to just add it to those pages, or should the
proposal be voted on first?
