Is that okay if I modify the wiki page about 'bank' and re-introduce the tag
'name' for the branch name (or the company if it is unknown) and 'operator'
as an option ?
It is more complying with the older definition.

Also in the wiki about 'operator', we should clarify what to do in case the
name of the specific object is unknow but just the brand (like HSBC or
McDonald's) and what to do when the name and operator are the same.
