<p>Hi</p>
<p>I have been learning OSM mapping now for a while and struggle
with best practices for name tagging ways. As an example please
view the 1779 Trail on which I have worked which is shared in part
by the 1777W Trail, the Timp Torne Trail links included below.</p>
<p>What I have done here is <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>created a relation for each of the individual trails adding
the name of the trail to the relation name.<br>
</li>
<li>leave the name tag on the way blank.</li>
</ul>
<p>However a problem arises:<br>
</p>
On waymarked trails this portion of the trail is rendered as
follows:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=6292324&map=18!41.3237!-73.9884">http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=6292324&map=18!41.3237!-73.9884</a><br>
showing symbols for the 3 trails that the way.<br>
<br>
On openstreetmap.org it is rendered as follows:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/41.32387/-73.98884">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/41.32387/-73.98884</a><br>
showing neither the symbols or the 3 associated trailnames.<br>
<br>
I am wondering 2 things<br>
<ul>
<li>What is the best practice in dealing with such a situation?</li>
<li>Should I be adding the contents of every relation tag
associated with a way, to the name tag of the way? This seems
like it would be very cumbersome.<br>
</li>
<li>Would it make sense to have the default openstreetmap.org page
render the name tag of each associated relation and if there
are no relations then render the name tag of the way itself?</li>
</ul>
