The established way is covered, at least it has a definition in the wiki and dates back to 2009 + it is used more often (covered, usage: "C. denote an area such as an underground parking lot, a covered reservoir/cistern or even such things as an aquarium (e.g., Kelly Tarlton's, Auckland, NZ), when the covering is not a man-made structure that would allow layer differentiation."). The location page dates back to July 2011 and has no real definition on it. To avoid this mess of duplicate tagging categories there is the proposal process.
Covered doesn't mean something is underground, just that it has a roof on top. For example a road passing through a building at ground level would be covered=yes.
