<div dir="ltr">There are some minor issues with what appears as tag suggestions on objects. E.g. I edited a (already quite detailed) hotel and the suggested tags were elevation, wikipedia, note and wheelchair. I think very few hotels have an elevation tagged, ele is generally a complicated thing to tag (you have to understand the relevant reference system(s) to get it right, and the most interesting information in conjunction with a building is obtained only in combination with height) so I'd suggest to remove ele in this case in favor of other more useful tags (e.g. stars / award:hotelstars, email, internet_access, ...).<br>

The more prominent is that certain tags will, by default, provide visible input fields on certain features, even if the feature doesn't currently have that tag. For hotel, those tags are "operator", "building", and the various tags that make up the address form. The less prominent level, and presumably what you are referring to, is that iD provides a way to show any tag that is designated as "universal", i.e. applicable to all or nearly all features. The UI for this is a set of icons at the bottom of the fields:</div>

<div><br>
</div><div>iD will hopefully eventually have a much larger set of custom fields, so at some point it will probably need to switch from this icon based UI to one based on search:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/1070" target="_blank">https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/1070</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Your points about the most relevant tags for hotels are good ones. iD's preset system is designed to be highly customizable, and we encourage people to help build out the presets. You don't have to have a programming background to do so.</div>
