Should verify other *_name tags #10

Closed naoliv closed 8 years ago

naoliv commented 8 years ago

A friend of mine did a check-in in one place where the Foursquare name was the same as OSM's short_name (so check-in checker thought that the place wasn't available in OSM).

Check-in checker should compare the Foursquare name with all the available *_name tags, to avoid receiving false-positives e-mails about missing places in OSM.

What are all the possible *_name tags? I've never heard of the short_name tag before, and I'm sure there are tons of other tags we could check. Where should we stop?

naoliv commented 8 years ago

I guess this should match most of the places:

alt_name loc_name name official_name short_name

This has been a bit trickier than I thought because of the way I am querying Overpass. I'll have a bit more time to look at it this weekend.
