As the next step, should I aedit the tage scheme wiki? I'd suggest the following definitions:
electrified=3rd_rail: 3rd contact rail / Used for tracks electrified by a 3rd rail system, with one additional rail on insulators, using shoe pickup by the train, and traction current return via the running rail(s)
electrified=4th_rail: 4th contact rail / Used for tracks electrified by a 4th rail system, with two additional rails on insulators and two shoe pickup by the train, and traction current returning via one of the insulated rails
Yes, that is a good idea. I would also suggest to put something like electrified=rail deprecated/discouraged: try to use 3rd_rail or 4th_rail as much as possible.
