It is better not to put the brackets in name as it messes up a search for the name in nominatim. Carlow and Wexford were the first places where we started adding townlands so may not have best practice. eg "Ballynagran (ED Glenealy)" a seach for Ballynagran finds the node and not the area: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.ie/search.php?q=Ballynagran&viewbox=-16.23%2C56.11%2C2.23%2C50.72&polygon=1 Re adding a place node as well. Nominatim will also merge the place node inside the area if both names and rank match so you dont get duplicates. To be explicit, you can also add the place node with role "label" to the area relation. eg Bolagh Upper has the node as a linked place: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.ie/details.php?place_id=844862 And a search for Bolagh Upper will only yield one result. http://nominatim.openstreetmap.ie/search.php?q=Bolagh+Upper&viewbox=-16.23%2C56.11%2C2.23%2C50.72&polygon=1 D _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
