Yeah that list is really awful to edit. I structured my findings the 
other way around, so noting all objects that were found in the search 
function of Mapsource, and not where an object shows up.

I have attached my points file, which in the first part consists of the 
explication where which object is found in Mapsource. There are some 
types inside that are missing in the wiki and also notes if objects are 
not exchangable via typfile. If someone prefers that format, feel free 
to build up on it, or include it into the wiki page
