You will need to be very clear what a 'common' is and how it is
different from other tags such as amenity=marketplace, leisure=park
The defining characteristics are: being open to public, not designated
for a specific purpose, not landscaped (or that would be a park), not a
marketplace (in West Africa, marketplaces are regulated and occur almost
only at designated locations), not a pitch (when a couple pairs of
goalposts are planted at extremities, the pitchness sometimes takes
precedence and a few such locations are rightfully mapped as soccer
pitches - but usually playing ball is just one of the uses of such places)
A possible alternative, not yet mentioned here, is place=square (which
by the way is the English for the concept of piazza/plaza) "A town or
village square: a paved open public space, generally of architectural
significance, which is surrounded by buildings in a built-up area such
as a city, town or village" -
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/place=square
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_square - but it is part of the
place=* hierarchy, which is not fit for our purpose: place=* requires a
name=* and this places are rarely named.
