[Tagging] stiles

[Dave F]

Hi

Unsure what specific edits you performed, but general comments to reduce 
the confusion:

I believe the 'Stile type' section is similar information to the table 
and should be amalgamated.
The table's column should be ordered Tags|Notes|images to be similar 
with other wiki tables.

I'm aware the first sentence is a copy form wikipedia, but to be more 
OSM specific I think it should be amended to read "A stile is a 
structure which provides *pedestrians* a passage through or over a 
*barrier* via..."

The Possible rendering section can be removed & a more accurate rendered 
image in the How to map section needs to be included.

Cheers
DaveF
