I have but I’m aware I might have missed something

Maybe a proposal that needs voting on isn’t need but is it accepted to add things to the wiki without one? 
It’s much nicer to find a page on the wiki than looking through tag info trying to decide if something already exists.

I’m unsure on how many Chimpy locations are docked vs over-the-counter (for example) but wouldn’t it be incorrect to add a node for something that doesn’t exist (in the case of over-the-counter). 

I wouldn’t expect everyone to do it, but as above, it’s nice to have an example for mappers
