It's not necessary to add an alternative like "Josephine" if the name= is already "Josephine County" because geocoding and search application already know to search for part of a name.
For example this search already finds the "Josephine County" administrative boundary as the first result: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Josephine - and there is no short alt_name or short_name. So I think there is no reason to have this information duplicated if we are just worried about search. -Joseph Eisenberg On 12/27/19, stevea <[email protected]> wrote: > I truly love the level of detail we get "coming out of the woodwork" so that > we may have excellent real-life examples to share with one another (and +1 > to one another, too!) > > To be brief about it (rare for me, I endeavor to get better): good > examples, discussion / dialog and sharing our real-world experiences and > knowledge is only going to help things.
