Is this mapped as a leisure=park in Openstreetmap? If so, then I don't
see any need to also map the same area as a square.

Martin,
What would you proposed as the description= (in the Infobox) for place=square?
What changes do you propose to the current text of the page to improve
the definition?

Think about pre-60ies urbanism. And "new urbanism", for example.

Although in Portugal squares are very well defined, either from their
physical significance or from their name, this is surely not the case in
every country.
Maybe one of their main common characteristics is that they're open
urban areas, a point of confluence where people can gather for social or
Please leave the description vague. Every one of us will be able to come up
with a list of "squares" that don't fulfil the criteria we will define.
They often have the role of landmarks for the population, long after the
original square (as empty space for the people) has disappeared.

Id-users do not break the routes as often as they used to. Assuming the
users did not change overnight, I guess the ID-release caused that. Other
online editors I seldom encountered when looking at a break, but I would be

Great!
This does not mean ID is now a good rout
I do regular integrity checks of long distance route relations in Nederland.
I used to find dozens of errors in each trail. These trails are 200-400 Km
long (10-20 days).
The errors were typically caused by users not repairing the routes after
cutting, deleting, extending or otherwise editing ways.
