Comment (by daniel@…):

 Thanks for the information, I had never even strongly noticed the Edit
 button, so I'm new at OSM.

 I added an `alt_name=Langley` to both, since it didn't seem correct to use
 name=Langley as both moving `"City/Township of"` to `offical_name` as this
 appears as if it would make the common name both are described by the
 same, and `short_name` appears to be meant for real abbreviations.
 Was this correct?

 I don't know much about the label relation though. Other city boundaries
 like Vancouver and Surrey don't appear to have it, so I don't have much
 reference to go on.
