I recently used CoMaps to edit a Dairy Queen location with cuisine=american;burger;chicken;ice_cream, but now, editing it in iD, it suggests cuisine=ice_cream;burger. While I can understand omitting american, I am not sure why chicken is omitted, considering that chicken is a major part of DQ’s menu (I work at the location in question, and I would estimate that we sell about as many chicken strip baskets as burgers). Is it okay to override iD’s suggestion, and is it possible to add chicken to all DQ Grill & Chill locations?

There are two entries in the Name Suggestion Index that ID uses for these suggestions. Both of them have only ice_cream;burger, including the Grill and Chill brand:https://nsi.guide/index.html?t=brands&k=amenity&v=fast_food&tt=dairy%20queen
I don’t know enough about the topic to say whether that is appropriate, but that is where it is coming from. You could override it, but it is quite likely that another mapper using ID (or any editor that uses NSI) will change it later. If you want to encourage a more systematic change, it’s probably best done via NSI.

Thank you! How can I edit or suggest a change to NSI?

It will be due to the entry in the name suggestion index https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/tree/main/data/brands/amenity
Raise an issue there.
Must admit I didn’t even know they did Burgers. My cousin lives in Canada and she always looks forward to the one in her town opening for the summer.

I’m not very familiar with it myself. If you have a Github account you could submit an issue as outlined here
# Contributing
We're always looking for help!
- Read [the Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and remember to be kind to one another.
- See [the project wiki](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki) for detailed info about how to contribute to this index, or read below for basic instructions.
## Adding new entries
If a [notable](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Judge-Case#notability) entity is missing from the Name Suggestion Index, you can add it manually to establish a preferred tagging. The project wiki has [detailed instructions](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Adding-Wikidata-Tags#adding-missing-entities) on how to add a brand, operator, flag, or transit network, but these are the essential steps:
* Find the [Wikidata](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Glossary#wikidata) page for the entity you want to add, or [create a page](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Editing-Wikidata#creating-wikidata-pages) for the entity if one doesn't exist.
* If you're comfortable with writing code:
* Clone (fork) the `name-suggestion-index` repository to your userspace.
* Browse to the relevant [category file](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Category-Files) inside the `data` folder. For example, in order to add a brand tagged as `amenity=bank` in OpenStreetMap, you would go to `data/brands/amenity/bank.json`.
* You can use existing entries as a template for the entity you want to add. Feel free to copy an entry, and change the values of the copied entry to suit the new entity. Don't worry about making sure the entry is in the right place in the file, or providing an `id` for the entry - there is a [build script](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Glossary#build-script) that maintainers often run on the `name-suggestion-index` repository that takes care of both automatically.
* Save your changes, and [submit a pull request](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/pulls) to the `name-suggestion-index` repository to include your changes.
* If you're not comfortable with writing code:
* [Submit an issue](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/issues) with as many details as possible about the entity you'd like to add. This includes the name, [Wikidata ID](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Glossary#wikidata-id), OSM tag category, official website, etc. The more reference details you provide, the more likely it is that a maintainer will work on your request.
## Modifying existing entries
If there is a problem with an existing entry, please let us know! You can edit the code yourself to correct the problem (see above for basic instructions), or you can [submit an issue](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/issues) to bring the problem to the attention of the `name-suggestion-index` project maintainers. For more details, see the [Contributing overview page](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/wiki/Contributing#editing-existing-entries) on the project wiki.

Thank you, @trigpoint and @alan_gr ! My NSI PR has been merged. How long does it generally take iD to reflect changes there? Also, it it possible to bulk-update all DQ locations, or will each one have to be edited manually?
