Undocumented tags I just use but don't bother to document due to the amount of time I don't have/want to invest:

Date of entry tag taginfo reasoning
2013-03-04 bridge:name Found 8k nodes with bridge=yes and name= on them in South Korea. Copying the tags from the nodes to the (to be created) bridges would replace the highways name. Researching a little showed that bridge:name might be of use. Also other things at bridges could be put into the bridge-namespace by using bridge:xy=. Started to use bridge:name (and two or three more bridge: things on that bridge nodes).
2013‎-03-27 type=superroute For meta-relations containing relations. Most likely to be used on long distance routes
2013-04-20 building=doghouse A building were a dog or more is/are kept. Using "doghouse" since this was the only tag in usage I found OSM-wide.
2013-08-03 shop=dressed_stone A shop where you can buy pieces of natural stone like marble and granite in various shapes - e.g. plates for mounting them onto the facade of a house.
2013‎-09-20 landuse=outdoor_seating
outdoor seating area of a restaurant in Albania
An area for outdoor seating.

Mostly connected to restaurants and cafes but can also used standalone. Not to confuse with amenity=biergarten. Found one amenity=outdoor_seating and one landuse=outdoor_seating. After short discussion on IRC decision for landuse=*.

2013‎-09-21 ride_height=* Gives the minimum ground clearance a vehicle should have to pass the way mapped with this tag.
2013‎-11-10 tourism=apartment Similar to tourism=chalet, but you just rent a flat or apartment instead of a complete house. Exists in Germany and Austria quite often. See also
2013‎-11-10 man_made=hay_rack for hay racks placed in the woods to feed animals during winter
2013‎-12-20 summit:register=yes notebooks deposited on peaks to write a note or comment into
2013‎-12-24 advertising=column Advertising columns (german: Litfaßsäule) are cylindrical outdoor sidewalk structures with a characteristic style that are used for advertising and other purposes. (definition from english wikipedia)
Advertising Column in Görlitz
Advertising Column in Görlitz

Tag:advertising=column exists since 07.08.2014 with "Status: De facto " (Thanks at Mateusz Konieczny for the hint)

2015-06-13 place=plaza
Brandenburg Gate and Paris Place in Berlin
Brandenburg Gate and Paris Place in Berlin
For squares and plazas on settlements. "A plaza is an open urban public space, such as a city square."(WP:EN)

Though an inactive proposal for landuse=square exists I'd go for place= since
a) quite often there are different "landuses" inside at a plaza/square and
b) usually a plaza is referred to as a locality.
As value I chose plaza since this is the most used value when looking at all numbers for landuse=place/square and place=place/square

2015-08-25 stop_on_demand=yes For railway=station or halt where the trains only stop by request. Quite hidden/undocumented in the wiki, hard to find.
2016-03-31 natural=wood landuse=wood_pasture & perhaps woodland:type=dehesa For wood pasture, tagging suggestion by SK53 on IRC.
