[Mateusz Konieczny]

Yes, it is a bug in QA tool

See https://github.com/geofabrik/osmi_simple_views/issues
where you can report it to developers, though some similar issues
appear to be not fixed

> The OSM Inspector tagging view reports an object labelled like this as "> Name/description without important tags". The object in question is a pedestrian area with a name.
> Usage per tag info is around 7.6K

> Opposed the highway=pedestrian + area=yes raises no flags
>
> A tag like area:highway=traffic_island is neither considered a problem and has as of now about 15.9K use
> https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/area%3Ahighway=pedestrian#overview
>
> JOSM nor from what I recollect ID Editor are flagging area:highway=pedestrian as a problem. JOSM in fact colours the closed way with the correct style albeit not as an area. Does do so when adding the redundant area=yes tag which it does not flag as redundant.
