Luckily we don't have authoritative pages in OSM.

Yes, the solution is encouraging people to use brains as well as other 
sources of information, where applicable. Everyone must understand that 
there is no authority in OSM and no authoritative tag guideline - but if 
you communicate with your peers in mapping then you'll get things done.

Instead of trying to create authoritative wiki pages, we must make it 
clear to everyone that these pages are *not* authoritative.
