This is how it works:

  1. After you submit your PR, the system will create a preview and comment on your PR:

    🍱 Your pull request preview is ready.
    If this is your first contribution to this project, the preview will not happen right away but requires a click from one of the project members. We will do this ASAP.

  2. Once the preview is ready, use it to test your changes.

  3. Now copy the snippet below into a new comment and fill out the blanks.

  4. Now your PR is ready to be reviewed.

## Test-Documentation

### Preview links & Sidebar Screenshots

<!-- Use the preview to find examples, select the feature in question and **copy this link here**.
     Find examples of nodes/areas. Find examples with a lot of tags or very few tags. – Whatever helps to test this thoroughly.
     Add relevant **screenshots** of the sidebar of those examples. -->

<!-- FYI: What we will check:
     - Is the [icon](https://github.com/ideditor/schema-builder/blob/main/ICONS.md) well chosen.
     - Are the fields well-structured and have good labels.
     - Do the dropdowns (etc.) work well and show helpful data. -->

### Search

<!-- **Test the search** of your preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     - Test the preset name as search terms.
     - Also test the preset terms and aliases as search terms (if present). -->

### Info-`i`

<!-- **Test the info-i** for your fields and preset and share relevant **screenshots** here.
     The info needs to help mappers understand the preset and when to use it.
     [Learn more…](https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#info-i)
 -->

### Wording

- [ ] American English
- [ ] `name`, `aliases` (if present) use Title Case
- [ ] `terms` (if present) use lower case, sorted A-Z
<!-- Learn more in https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/main/GUIDELINES.md#2-design-the-preset -->

I see it mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque

BTW, is there such thing as non Muslim mosque?

Seems a bit borderline as it seems rather transliteration of Arabic term, but as search term seems reasonable to add

At least it managed to get enough prominence (or people campaigning for it) to be mentioned in the English Wikipedia opening, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque .

and here it will be only seen by people looking at preset code and indirectly seen by people searching using this or very similar terms, so seems safe?

Hmm, not that I'm aware of.

Yep it's the actual term used in native toungue and also in countries like mine (India) which is why I was hoping to get it added. Personally I always start off searching using that word when adding a mosque and get no results which frustrates me 😄

Note that Indian dialect terms can be also added to translations, like UK dialect terms are added.
