If you take a look at the "what links here" link from the wiki you'll 
see what they are used for. In this case almost all pages about Kosmos 
rules, but also some other.
The thing is that if you add something as a tag in wikipedia 
({{tag|maxspeed|15}}), you'll automatically get a link to a wiki page 
for that tag. And since it is pretty senseless to have a seperate page 
for every different speed limit, they are redirected to a general page 
about the maxspeed tag.

I would leave them in.
