No, it's not useless. But there's no point in using the existence of a
tag on a wiki page to try to back up a case for getting it rendered.

Actually, a page like map features which documented such things would
be good. But the current craze on the wiki is to ignore reality, run
some voting stuff to make it look official, and then try to bend
reality to fit whatever's decided by the wiki-fiddlers.
