The tag landuse=common is different than leisure=common but the two seem to be mixed up in this post.
The new tag landuse=common is not yet documented: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=common It has been used 197 times, but perhaps due to confusion with the more common tag leisure=common: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=common The existing tag is leisure=common - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=common -- Joseph Eisenberg — Joseph Eisenberg On Sun, May 3, 2020 at 8:14 AM Jean-Marc Liotier <j...@liotier.org> wrote: > So, this discussion gravitates towards using landuse=common for those > African urban freely accessible multipurpose open spaces, which I fully > support. > > Implementing this change requires the following actions: > > - Editing the leisure=common wiki page, in French and in English (I'll do > that) > > - Reinstating the rendering of leisure=common in downstream cartographic > styles, would be even better if the color matched the surface=* so that > sandy surfaces don't appear green. > > - Reinstating the rendering of leisure=common in JOSM's default style (it > recently changed to grey to mark deprecation).
