To name or not to name ...

@gileri I suggest you collect some insights into what you would like to have in the name field in france in your OSM community and post an issue to https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index . We did this in Scandinavia as we would like the name field to be as specific as possible (and it is the cultural norm to say “McDonald’s Bryggen” instead of just having “McDonald’s” in the name field).

See https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/issues/5500 for our issue on this topic.

The maintainers of NSI is quick to respond and will always work towards a solution - For us it was to add “preserveTags: [‘^name’]” to the config such that the name field was not overwritten
