Add more green areas and possibly parking lots to the map
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

From Wikivoyage pub:

One major problem that I found is the lack of green spaces. I would not say that the greenery is absent completely, some parks are displayed of the map, but many of the smaller parks or green spaces like boulevards are missing. This makes the new maps rather dull in appearance and less friendly for users. Will you or Yurik know which features should be added? Another thing is the yellow-orange-colored areas such as parking lots. Those may be also worth adding. --Alexander (talk) 06:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't see what parking lots could have to do with Wikimedia projects?

Green spaces are good to show the general usage of the area. Park and garden labels are missing on devel and I think they should be displayed, but it's good to see gardens coming at least.

It would also be good to see forest labels.

Allotments are currently not visible even on devel, I think they should be shown the same as other green areas with labels.

Maps at WMF are now in maintenance mode. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to make cartographic changes.
