Meaning of star in a OSM tag

I am new to working with OSM and have a very basic question. What does the value '*' mean for a tag? For example width=*, highway=*. Thanks

The * is a wildcard for any tag value. For example, when a way has a highway=* tag, its value could be primary, secondary, tertiary, residential, or one of many other possible values.
