The '''<code>place</code>''' key marks a named settlement or populated locality — the points and areas that carry Yezur's place names, from the largest cities down to individual hamlets. It is one of the map's most load-bearing keys: almost every named settlement carries a <code>place=*</code> tag, and the renderers read its value to decide how large to draw the label and at which zoom the name first appears.

== How to tag ==

Put <code>place=*</code> on either:
* a '''node''' at the centre of the settlement — the usual case; or
* the settlement's '''area''' (a closed way or multipolygon) where its extent is mapped, keeping a node for the label.

Always give it a <code>[[Map:name|name]]=*</code>. Larger settlements commonly also carry <code>[[Map:population|population]]=*</code>, and <code>[[Map:admin_level|admin_level]]=*</code> where they serve as administrative seats.

== Values ==

The settlement hierarchy, largest to smallest:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value !! Used for
|-
| [[Map:place=city|<code>city</code>]] || The largest and most prominent settlements — major regional or national centres.
|-
| [[Map:place=town|<code>town</code>]] || A substantial settlement below city rank; typically a local hub serving the surrounding area.
|-
| [[Map:place=village|<code>village</code>]] || A small settlement, larger than a hamlet, usually with a handful of shared amenities.
|-
| [[Map:place=hamlet|<code>hamlet</code>]] || A very small cluster of dwellings with few or no services.
|-
| [[Map:place=suburb|<code>suburb</code>]] || A named district within a larger city or town.
|}

Which tier a settlement takes reflects its standing on Yezur rather than a fixed population cut-off — when in doubt, weigh it against its neighbours already on the map.

== See also ==

* [[Map:name|<code>name</code>]] — the name every place should carry
* [[Map:population|<code>population</code>]] — inhabitant count
* [[Map:boundary=administrative|administrative boundaries]] — the areas settlements govern or belong to
