validation error "alt_name without name"

[pangoSE]

auto fix suggestion: convert to name=

[Klumbumbus]

The rule in combinations.mapcss is:

/* any other *_name tag (with some exceptions) but not a name , see #10837 #11297 #11539 #16437 */
*[/_name$/][!name][!old_name][!loc_name][!uic_name][!artist_name][!lock_name][!"osak:municipality_name"][!"osak:street_name"][noname!=yes] {
  throwWarning: tr("alternative name without {0}", "{1.key}");
  group: tr("missing tag");
}

As the key is selected with the regexp _name$ this can find strange tags which need an other fix than simply converting it to name, so a autofix is to risky (and probably doesn't work anyway with the current mapcss implementation). Better let the user fix it manually.

[pangoSE]

Could we break out alt_name from this rule and autofix just that and let the user look at the others manually?

[Klumbumbus]

I don't think it is worth the trouble. Is it such a big problem or is there a special use case?

[Klumbumbus]

And a fix from alt_name to name can still be the wrong fix. See e.g. ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/993960150 (correct would be old_name or disused:name or deletion, the shop tag is wrong too) or ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/781170257 (correct could be name or loc_name) or ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4474749491 (correct could be name or description or deletion) or ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3792570288 (correct would be to keep the three diffferent name tags and add name=Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum Freital),...

I am convinced! Thanks for taking the time to bring up good arguments :)
