[talk-au] Question re Coles Express service stations

I’ve been asked a question about the naming of Coles Express service stations.

Signs generally have the Shell symbol on top, with Coles Express below this.

I’ve looked at a few, and the tags are generally (for amenity=fuel):
	brand=Coles Express or brand=Shell
	brand:wikidata=Q5144653 / brand:wikipedia=en:Coles Express (for some stations, with either brand labels)
	name=Coles Express
	website=https://www.colesexpress.com.au/

The question I’ve been asked (at changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/145789477) is regarding the correct tags.

Option 1:
	brand=shell / name=shell
	brand:wikidata change to Shell’s Wikidata code (?Q110716465?

Option 2:
	brand=Shell;Coles Express
	brand:wikidata listing both

I’ve generally used brand=Shell, but left the Wikidata and Wikipedia links alone. Any thoughts about tagging?
