In https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/59418875, seems we've hit on some inconsistency in the documentation. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#Tagging_Forest_Roads suggests that the ref should go in the name for national forest roads, when this is directly contradicted by the common use of name, which is that the name is only the name, as outlined at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only
Also specifically about that road in that changeset, name=Dufur Valley Road got moved to alt_name, though I can confirm firsthand that the addresses along it are Dufur Valley Road and it's signed as such at least at the east end. Could we get the US Road Tagging page updated to reflect common name practice instead of encouraging the duplication of the ref in the name? Or is that going to spark drama?
