With `amenity=parking_space` it is possible to map separate parking spaces in a parking area. It can be used with `capacity` in case the space is used for more than one vehicle, but this is an exception. By default, `capacity=1` is implied, and many mappers omit the capacity tag when its value would be `1`, only using it when it deviates from the default. By suggesting adding `capacity=1` to parking spaces lacking the capacity tag, the editor stimulates adding a tag which is not needed in the vast majority of the cases, and novice users make edits containing many of these changes where they are not needed. I find that this sugggestion is causing more noise than useful contributions. |

iD Tagging Schema
This is the directory of OpenStreetMap tagging data used by the iD editor. It includes presets, fields, deprecations, and more.
Background
OpenStreetMap itself does not have a formal tagging schema, but editing tools need to know how tags are used in order to facilitate mapping. This Tagging Schema fills that need, but with a number of caveats:
- This isn't authoritative or definitive
- Tagging interpretations may vary from mapper to mapper, place to place, and over time
- Our primary aim is to serve the needs of iD mappers (but other tools are welcome to use this too)
- We support tags based on practicality, usage, and community approval
- Sometimes there are reasons we can't support a tag even if it's used or approved
Usage
Java/Android
The westnordost/osmfeatures project, a component of StreetComplete, makes it easier to use this data with Android or other Java platforms.
Related Projects
iD also incorporates preset data from the name-suggestion-index.

Making Changes
Documentation for the data formats is located with the schema-builder
package, which is the technical basis of this project. To make a change, update a
file within the data folder and rebuild by running npm run build in your terminal.
Translating
The translations for the iD presets are currently translated at the same place as the rest of iD. See Contributing to iD/Translating.
