[Tagging] Review request for surface pages

I was looking (again) at surface documentation pages, partially
as result of working on OSM software. I made some changes to
some OSM Wiki pages that were intended to document current
consensus, but maybe I made some mistakes.

Please look especially at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Ddirt
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dearth
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dground

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface [1] is not yet edited
and I plan on also editing it with descriptions from pages listed above
 - let me know if descriptions of surface=dirt / surface=earth / surface=ground
are worse than what is on Key:surface page right now or really need
other changes.
Or even better just edit Wiki.

I also edited recently
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dconcrete:plates
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dconcrete
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dmud
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dmetal
looking at it would be also welcome.

done more time ago, I already was requesting reviews here and
elsewhere but I guess one more look will not harm

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dunhewn_cobblestone
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaving_stones
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dsett
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dchipseal
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dcobblestone
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dunpaved
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaved
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3D <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaved>gravel
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3D <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaved>compacted

[1] or more specifically
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Map_Features:surface
where descriptions are hidden

PS if you are from Germany you may consider editing your nearby area to
remove surface:de - or maybe remove all of that

if it matches surface tag then it is pointless, once it diverges it is additionally
highly confusing. It just makes data more confusing for no benefit.
