How to tag a wetland area ?

0

I changed landuse-grass into natural-wetland, since it’s covered with reed. But the description in the Wiki, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wetlands makes it difficult to choose. A semi-wetland meadow which is saturated with water throughout much of the year looks like a good one. But it’s a wilderness of reed with a flock of Galloway’s on abandoned farmland, but it’s not inundated.

Perhaps you should tag it as wetland and add a note to your tag describing in more detail what is involved (there is a little icon ' Notes' in iD editor.
