Hi,
There is a guide in the wiki for importing from GEOnet Names Server
(GNS) at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GEOnet_Names_Server. And
this guide (in 2020 version) defines three tags for importing from GNS
data:
GNS:id
GNS:dsg_code
GNS:dsg_string (I used GNS:dsg_name instead because it is clearer)
In the talk page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:GEOnet_Names_Server there are
more unnecessary suggested tags for importing form GNS.
I used these tags in the wiki page for importing from GNS and I describe
them more in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GNS_Import_for_Yemen_and_Others#GNS:id.
There are some protests form users:

and my reply at
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/2021-May/006614.html
I want to share others to return with common view about these tags.
