Agreed. I think:

step 1) Work out how the tags are being used right now (think we've
pretty much done this)
step 2) Clean up the wiki definitions to reflect reality, even if this
means describing more than one specific definition if that is what is
used by different groups of people
step 3) Decide on how to proceed gracefully e.g. by stating a
"preferred" usage of each tag on the wiki to guide newbies and lead to
the eventual deprecation of some tags if necessary

In that order.
