Hi All
I would class myself as an intermediate mapper.
But for the life of me unable to remove a placename tag on a building that has been taken over by another NHS department.
Having the wrong NHS organisation could cause issues, for deliveries etc.
Thank you
Alex
Hello and welcome to the OpenStreetMap community.
I have to guess everything, since you didn’t share which editor you’re using or the location, but my first guess is: You’re using the iD editor at osm.org, and the building is linked to a Wikidata/Wikipedia entry. In that case, you can’t change the name, since it’s locked together with the Wikidata/Wikipedia tag.
iD | OpenStreetMap is the link Shropshire Community Health Trust are no longer at this site.
Thank you for advice
well, you can change it in raw tags editor
no idea what raw tags editor is? but willing to learn.
Currently doing up a power-point presentation on editing OSM to NHS estate managers, an area that is usually overlooked or not thought about..
Thanks for the link above, but I can’t see any problem to edit the name itself. Having this way: Way: ‪Shropshire Community Health Trust William Farr House Site‬ (‪261014531‬) | OpenStreetMap
Going into edit mode (German UI though):
Click on the trash bin icon:
And it’s gone!
At the end of the left sidebar you can open “Eigenschaften” in German → I guess it’s “Attributes” or similar wording and click on the cursor icon to get into the raw tag editor:
But you don’t need it here anyway, because there is no wikidata item blocking you from removing the name. Anyway, instead of simply removing the name, it would be better to provide the correct name. 
Thank you for the information, I hover, click on the icon, but no results 
The name needs removing as they have moved on to a new site and our hospital now manages the site .
very puzzled…
@Velocity01 , if you can tell us what the name and operator for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/261014531 should be set to I’m sure that someone will be able to edit it…
One thing that I do notice is that your edit link above zoomed in on where the name appears in the online editor - you actually have to click on the edge of the area to select it.
Hi Andy
have tried to find an edge for this label but had no luck. The label of William Farr House is appropriate for now, anything else will confused patients and delivery drivers with our main hospital down the road.
Not sure if the community is interested but I presented to 33x NHS Estate and Facility planners yesterday on my mapping experience. Following from that meeting ,I have been asked to do a work shop on how to edit the system. It was re-assuring to hear approval of my efforts in making travel journeys less stressful and hopefully more sustainable.
thank you
Alex
The name on William Far House looks like it was down to me.
I have corrected it using my local knowledge. I’m a regular there for blood tests.
I have also corrected the duplicate hospital tags on The Royal Shrewsbury and The Princess Royal as these contravene the One Feature, one OSM Element rule,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element. I have not removed anything, just given them more appropriate tags.
You may want to post questions to the UK Forum https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/uk/ where you will get a more focused response.
Cheers Phil
