This page is being considered for cleanup. Please discuss this page.
"Properties" is too generic. We should invent new categories in Category:Features instead of placing tags here (see Placement and Sidewalks for example). In fact, every OSM tag can be considered as "property" of some object. We should really just use more cross links instead of this page and template
