Comment from Yeomanry Survey
Sorry, but factually the place is not a town. In England there are legal definitions for a town and a city, though not for a village - refer to Wikipedia if you must. We would be subjectively labelling places on OSM if we follow the route of "where there are shops it is a town"... what about places with retail parks?

but all the places around like campsea ashe are villages, and wm is considerable larger than them. why change something that has been perfectly fine for the past 8 years? without reaching out to any local mappers?

Not being funny, but just because there's been a mistake for 8 years doesn't make it right... as for the locals - ask the Parish Council or the Tourist Information Centre at Wickham... they're quite clear that the place is a village.
