Naming for Ayres Rock/Uluru was discussed in talk-au on October 2019...
We need to put this on the Australian tagging guidelines once some
consensus is determined.
Presently ---------------
alt_name:en=Ayers Rock
alt_name=Ayers Rock
name:en=Uluṟu
name=Uluṟu
official_name:en=Uluru / Ayers Rock
official_name=Uluru / Ayers Rock
---------------------------------
I don't think Uluru is 'english'. And I'd not use old_name for 'Ayres
Rock' as I'd think 'Uluru' would be older.
Note: One of the past names was 'Uluru (Ayers Rock)'.

I think including a "slash" character in a name tag is really ugly.
That's not the way that the GNB record them. Unless someone can find
some information on the ground that records it that way?
'Uluru / Ayers Rock' used to be the signage there, I have no idea if
'Ayres Rock' has been removed.
.
I understand the desire to not diminish either name when they are dual
named, but I think it's wrong to think of alt_name as a "lesser"
name. Alternative means just that, it's an equally valid, but
alternative name. It's looks like exactly the type of scenario
envisioned by the tag.
IMO it's a bad outcome to end up with multiple names in one tag
separated by a slash.
I am for
name:en=Ayres Rock
name:aus=Uluru If the language code is known then use that .. possibly
use both for redundancy ???
The name= tag should be what is 'on the ground' if there is a slash then
there should be a slash.
