Gregory's ServerHiya... happy new year's eve!
Going to ask a very Manila-centric question - here we go.
Why in OSM, the EDSA is mapped as it is (name=EDSA), but not the actual full name? Is it because the signs say so, or people just got too used with EDSA?

Thanks! Just did a search and found this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:EDSA (See media in category) Literally official street signs with just "EDSA" - rhymes with your toot. |

Happy new year! 🎉
Well, we have quite a number of streets like that -- a mouthful to pronounce, so our convention is to use `name` for the common name (what most people use to refer to it), and add the official name to, well, `official_name`.
I don't think it makes any sense to use the official/"proper" when people don't use it.
