I still don't see a necessity of repeating the name tag information inside the relation tag... this proposal wants to remove wrong advise that advocates adding fake names to relations maybe just removing this bad advise without proposal would be a good idea Arrr now I see it ! This only applies to the 'name' 'advice' on PTv2 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport#Service_routes has "name = /: → "/ / / That would mean the name tag contains the information already in the other tags... redundant. The Australian 'India Pacific' train journey has the name 'India Pacific' .. no 'train', nor ref nor from nor to... The Russian 'Trans Siberian' train journey .. South African 'Blue Train' etc etc.. none of these real names translate to the above PTv2 'name'. Does this proposal only apply to the PTv2??? If so why not say so? / / ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

I still don't see a necessity of repeating the name tag information inside the relation tag... Will you also repeat the ref tag information, the description tag information? How about the surface tag, maxspeed tag etc etc.. In some cases where I have come across it I have simply stated 'The name tag is for the name only. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only' and I follow it up by making the correction/s. Don't think I have ever had an argument about it. The https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/331438 use of the name tag goes back 14 years ago ... to a mapper who was only just starting out.. The ref tag came along some 3 years later... You may find similar historical sources for the use of the name tag... ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
