Please add a clarification to the preset description that this tag is only intended for military or weapons/explosive related areas. All the examples on the wiki are at least somewhat military related and I don't believe it was ever intended for non-military use. The Chernobyl exclusion zone is/was operated and enforced by the military, so I don't think that's a good example of non-military use.

The current preset name leads people to use the tag in situations where it's clearly misplaced, such as these areas on whistler mountain where skiing is prohibited:

Besides, adding landuse=military is always incorrect if it's not a military area.

Non military uses seem to be better covered by https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dhazard which was specifically introduced for that reason https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Hazard#Rationale
