For things I can't remember, I use the JOSM presets. Nothing easier than pressing F3, typing "XXX" (without mentioning the top level tag) for the feature I want to tag, filling in the form and have the feature properly tagged. In case it's missing, I add it to my own preset. I add als stuff upon request from the Flemish community for those that have difficulties to set up their own preset. For iD users, it's the same. They look for things like pub, bakery, etc. No need to know the top level tags. So I really don't care about leisure, amenity, tourism, etc. Still don't understand why people are making a such fuss about it. In case you move something from amenity to tourism, you put a burden on people who already know the old schema and are suddenly using the "wrong" scheme. I think good presets in the editors are much more important than any proposal to move something from one top level tag to another. Only in case there is a problem to extend the schema (e.g. drinking water and water), it is worthwhile to discuss a change. just my .5 cents m
