Oh, I know exactly what you mean.
But the wiki is, unfortunately, a social problem more than a technical
problem. It's full of well-meaning but misguided people who have never
mapped a toucan crossing in their life, yet think that their vote on
the subject is somehow important. Add in some very aggressive
defenders of the voting system and the result is, I fear, unsalveagable.
OSM needs better documentation, particularly in the tagging arena. But
it doesn't have to be on the wiki. Most projects' documentation isn't
on a wiki. I'd strongly recommend starting something new elsewhere.
cheers
