Hi ChillyDL,

Thanks for your explanation! Better a typo in the comment than in the tags :-)

So you have been to all these sites? If not, then it is a mechanical edit and the procedure needs to be discussed with other mappers. There is valid reasons why the community set these rules, see links below.

Looking for physical features related to sport=free_flying, I find:
* landuse = meadow
* aeroway = windsock
* landuse = grass
* club = sport

How did you know you need to tag the element as pitch? Why not club? Or landuse=grass?

Here my overpass query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1TgI

And two relevant links in the wiki:

I wish you a splendid start of week!
