Since you have an interest in this you are probably best suited to
document marketplaces, you might even be the renowned openstreetmap
expert in the area at the moment. I can only you advice you to be
bold,  try things out,  map a few market places and document it.

I only have temporary market stands on the local squares in the areas
of my interest. These are usually very temporary constructions.
