I live in Loveland, CO. McKee Medical Center is now more or less a cancer treatment center. I can’t seem to edit the name. Is it locked? How do I edit this name? THX
I assume you can’t edit the name of Way: McKee Medical Center (580706776) | OpenStreetMap because the name is tied to the wikidata-entry/tag.
I don’t believe so. The wikidata (operator:wikidata=Q4856918) tag is for the operator so there should be no linking to the name tag.
Although a Wikidata item for McKee Medical Center does exist (Q50036821).
How did you try to edit the name? I had quick look and the name seems editable to me.

I can edit the name just fine, please insert a screenshot @GeoDroid.
Here’s what I see. Why can’t I edit the name McKee Medical Center? It’s like some kind of point that I can’t click on. Yes, I can add the name, but would that suffice while the other seems to be hard coded there?
FYI: I’m still a bit of a noob.

It is area shown at Way: McKee Medical Center (580706776) | OpenStreetMap
It will be easiest to select by clicking at its edge.
Maybe it should be also selectable by clicking its icon? If does not work it can be reported at GitHub - openstreetmap/iD: 🆔 The easy-to-use OpenStreetMap editor in JavaScript. (if not reported already).
No worries, we were all beginners at some point.
That’s because you’re actually selecting the building instead of the grounds. Don’t click on the actual name “McKee Medical Center”, click on the side of the whole grounds, on the left next to North Boise Avenue for example, where you see a grey area. See the image below:

When you see a name and/or icon without a pin floating in the middle of something that’s a clue that the name/icon is of a way defining an area. It can be a bit tricky figuring out which way when you have things nested within things, eg. a hospital building inside of a hospital grounds. In my example image above, 105th Street Building, the five parking lots, “10225”, “10241”, and “10515” are all the names of the ways defining buildings and parking lots. Edmonton 106th Street Clinic is a point - it is attached to the stethoscope pin - within the 10225 area (building). Likewise Cine, 7Eighty Automotive, and Crystal Glass.
Note that the icon for a pin or for an area in iD will frequently not match the icon rendered by the basemap: every basemap can make their own choice how or even if they want to render things. Here we see that the standard OpenStreetMap basemap uses a doctor’s bag for the clinic, a blue P for parking lots (just visible under the iD icons), just a dot for Cine (office), but the same wrench and car for the two auto repair shops. My example is here if you want to compare it outside of iD.

Feel free to ask in case of other confusion or trouble. Good luck with mapping!
Well, I thought I had it figured out. While I could name the area Banner North Colorado Medical Center - Loveland campus, McKee Medical Center still shows up. See attachment
.
I think that’s just the browser cache. I don’t see McKee Medical Center. Click Ctrl+Maj+R on your keyboard and it should disappear. If not just wait a few days. You renamed the area perfectly.

Nope, it’s not a cache issue. I now see it’s been fixed. So whoever you are thanks.
Edit-
On the other hand, could have been a caching issue with OSM or https://mapper.acme.com/ No idea.
