Does the actual wetland have a name, or does the area which the wetland
is part of have a name? If the latter is the case, I might just consider
using a node with place=locality+name=(name) to tag it. It's typically
used to tag "an unpopulated location for which there is no extant
feature to which the tag could be associated" (source: wiki) but the
danger is that you might start tagging for the renderer. I wouldn't use
it if the /actual/ wetland is named, so if that's the case just ignore this.

Hello,
I was on this list a while back expressing some frustration over
limitations when tagging nature and thought about getting involved in
a process for change, but I came to realize that it's not feasible for
me in my current life situation, so I've decided to continue be a
normal mapper as before, doing what I can do with features that exist
today.
Anyway, if to be a mapper at all, I still like to solve some of my
naming issues in the best/least bad ways possible today. I'm currently
mapping a national park in Sweden, Muddus. It's in Laponia and
consists of mighty wetlands and old forest. These wetlands are named,
like is common in Sweden and Sami lands. For us navigating in
wildlife, names in nature are important.
A wetland polygon can be named in OSM, so the situation is better than
for example for named slopes (also common). However, a wetland here
can consist of both bog and marsh (and it's important to make the
difference, since one is easy to walk on, the other not so much).
That's two different natural types and thus can't be in the same
multipolygon (as outers).
Asking on OSM Help website for a solution I got the answer to make a
new containing multipolygon and set the name on that. That would be
quite elegant for sure, but JOSM warns about that, can't have a name
without a type, and if I set the type, say natural=wetland without any
subtype, I get a JOSM warning that I have natural features on top of
eachother. If I still upload it OSM-Carto does render out the name but
you can see that the wetland pattern of the outer polygon is drawn on
top of the contained polygons, so it does not seem to be the way to do
it.
The least bad way I've come up with is to just name all polygons
belonging to the same wetlands the same, and hope for that in the
future smart renderers will understand that polygons with shared
borders and shared name is the same named entity.
Any ideas or suggestions?
