Search your profile for the file mirror_tagchecker.cfg. This contains
the rules for validator to use. Modify or remove (put a # in front of)
any you don't feel are necessary.

For instance in the UK tertiary roads don't have references so I have
removed that line. You can also customise the tooltip to provide a bit
more information e.g for a secondary way without a reference change

way  : I : highway == secondary && ref != *                    # highway
without a reference

to be

way  : I : highway == secondary && ref != *                    #
secondary highway without a reference
