I've just looked up common on taginfo & I'm very surprised to see
virtually all are tagged with leisure= (39348). If I ever used it (&
I'm unsure I have) I would have used landuse= (123). I genuinely
believe this is an example of where it being the majority doesn't make
it correct.
In Britain a common is an area of land, usually grass, which is open
for all to use, where any number of leisure activities could occur
(sports, picnics, playgrounds etc), which is why I think it's vague.
It needs a separate tag to able to map the leisure activities with the
area.
Again, I'm really surprised by the number of landuse= tags. Was there
a mass edit?

It was in the "map features" page for years : "An area where the
public can walk anywhere (UK) "
I guess it is also used in US. I found some examples :
https://www.google.fr/search?safe=off&hl=fr&site=imghp&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=village+common&oq=village+common&gs_l=img.3...11667.13247.0.13578.8.7.0.0.0.0.476.476.4-1.1.0....0...1c.1.52.img..8.0.0.cFS7KjyXTyo
If you don't know what "village common" is then don't use it. If we
start to delete all vague definitions in the wiki, we should better
start with "smoothness" :-)
The description "an area where the public can walk anywhere" fits many
other things besides village commons. I agree that this is an
overly-vague definition.
