According to the wiki bus depots should be mapped as landuse=depot + depot=bus.

It looks like the wiki doesn't actually reflect "how people tag things" here - see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2021-January/thread.html#58301 etc. .

Hello, Discussing a tag should not prevent to use it. If there is a consensus one day to change the tag, it will be easy to find all depot=bus around the world, in order to modify them :-) Therefore, I would suggest to just follow the wiki.

Thing is there are many articles you can read to "follow the wiki". Tags from industrial=depot and landuse=railway, to landuse=depot and *=vehicle_depot, are all documented. OSM wiki itself is also never complete as a work in progress, often reflecting certain perspectives or backgrounds. That's what people are discussing.
