I'm a little new to OSM, recently I found that neither of the city
boundaries for the Langley area showed up in searches for "Langley".
The issue was that neither had any type of name entry with just "Langley"

I added an alt_name=Langley to both of the boundaries myself:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031946 (City of Langley)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031947 (Township of Langley)

I was wondering if alt_name was the correct one to use for this. How to
organize naming tags seems to be a regional thing.


Also when I brought this up in other channels it was recommended that I
add the Langley place node (http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52555902)
as a 'label' member to the relevant city border.
However when I look around at other cities like Surrey and Vancouver I
do not see this relation setup elsewhere.
Thoughts?
