This fix was counter-productive. Please find the real name:* postfix or just revert!

Comment from Claudius Henrichs
My change only removed a "name:françis" key which contained an identical value to what's currently already on "name". So besides the key being in the wrong format (French name should be tagged as "name:fr" key) it was also redundant information.
Can you clarify which "real name" in which language you are referring to that we should find and document for this way? -
Comment from ij_
Please please, you're modifying something in Finland and don't have clue what languages we use around here? Perhaps you should not modify in Finland at all then since you're clearly not used to our tagging environment.
The use of name:fr* is obviously some auto-completion error of an editor program, not an error of the mapper who was trying to type name:fi. The error should have been CORRECTED not REMOVED like you did. If you REMOVE rather than FIX errors, nobody else has the opportunity to do the RIGHT FIX since the error would be only available in the history now and no QA tool nor a mapper is going to catch it from there (luckily I caught you from the history since you also did other incorrect edits in Finland so I had to check your track record to see if there are other bogus fixes too). ...And it's not redundant information like you're trying to imply which also shows that you don't even seem to understand how bilingual naming does work in OSM which is a serious issue if you touch any names in bilingual country such as Finland. -
Comment from Claudius Henrichs
I'm very familiar with the multilingual tagging, thanks a lot for pointing this out.
If a name:* tag value is identical to the value already in the name tag than it's redundant. A name:* tag needs only be added if it differs. Do you agree? -
Comment from ij_
No, both name=* and name:*=* are needed even if identical. Name:* is not redundant because name=* does not indicate what language the name is written in.
That said, I surely know that many roads in Finland are lacking the duplicate name:fi=* tags but they should be added throughout the country (so no need to point out for those as "counterexamples").
