Is the Name_Suggestion_Index (NSI) branding recommended?
Hello,
So Hello,
so far I assumed the Name_Suggestion_Index (NSI) feature, that allows me to use the branding for particular locations, is a recommended way to give canonical features to particular objects in OSM.
I changed some package vending machines of the company DHL to use the NSI brand "DHL Packstation" in germany. This includes besides adding wikidata, also a "name" and an "alt_name".
Now I hear from a user that the "name" and "alt_name" in the branding are key-value-pairs that are not on the OSM wiki page and therefore should not be there.
Here is a link: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:vending%3Dparcel_pickup
As far as I understand the concern, the vending machine would be rendered differently on a map depending on whether the key "name" is given. I have not seen OSM rendering vending machines explicitly but due to my lack of experience I assume he may have a valid point.
Here are my questions:
Is the NSI branding a recommended way to choose key-value-pairs?
Which platform should be updated in my case, the NSI branding suggestion or the osm wiki?
Here is a link to the NSI wiki and github project:
