[Talk-GB] OSM UK address project: tags - Updated guidance

[Mike Baggaley]

I disagree, name is the correct field for entering the name of an entity. In
this case the entity is a building. I think the page also needs to mention
noname and nohousenumber (and possibly noaddress). A building with name=*
and nohousenumber=yes is I believe correctly not flagged by streetcomplete.

Those should go in addr:housename; StreetComplete correctly flags them as
not having a number (or name) and will ask to fill them.

Hi Rob,

Looks fairly comprehensive. My comment is that there is no mention of the
name tag. Although not an addr: tag, this often holds the name of a
building, and I feel some mention should be made about it. All the houses
near where I live have house names and no numbers; the names have been
generally captured in the name field unless the building has some extra tag
such as shop=*.

Cheers,
Mike
