Render golf=hole ref in edit mode

[tastrax]

Description

I have recently been auditing golf courses mainly for where folks have added 'name' tags to tees, fairways, bunkers, golf holes. By far the largest error is golf=hole having something like '18th' or '18th Hole' in the name field, i suspect so it shows in the editor interface. Just about all also had the correct hole number as ref. It seems to me folks are adding the name tag just to orientate themselves around the course whilst editing. This is the obvious way to orientate yourself on a golf course (I am not a player)

Would it be beneficial to display the ref tag as the label in the edit interface (same as the standard OSM render)? I think this would prevent many, many folks from also adding a name tag as well.

Render with incorrect use of names (forget the named tees etc)

as incorrectly named objects look in editor - easy to orientate yourself

how a correctly tagged course looks in the editor - harder to orientate around the course

Correctly tagged holes without 'name' tagging (forget the tees etc)

This would be doable with a change similar to #6188 or #8707. (The display name of a feature in the relation member list or relation membership list can also be the display name on the map.)

The more I audit golf courses, the more I think the name key is a bit of a waste on the preset for holes. I only found a couple of courses in all of Australia that had named holes but maybe its just that folks have done the digitising from aerial with no local knowledge?

It's worth noting that ref is already rendered in many situations, such as ways tagged as highway=*, waterway=*, building=*, and probably more. Not sure why ref doesn't render in some situations like golf=*

[tastrax]

ref is rendered on the OSM map but its not rendered in edit mode using the ID editor. That's what I am asking for consideration for ref to be displayed in this case.

[k-yle]

I can't work out why some of these features show the ref and others don't... (all have ref=12)

[tastrax]

What are the two golf features top right? Is Golf hole one of the lines? Do they also have 12 in the name?

[k-yle]

yep, they all have 12 as the ref, and no name tag.

I am no coder but does it come from here or from the presets?

[k-yle]

I found the list that limits which features can use the ref as a label. I've opened #9061 to propose removing this restriction for ref

[tastrax]

Many thanks - should ref be the last resort after name? In most cases a name , where it exists, should probably be the priority before ref (thinking of all tagging here, not just golf features)

[k-yle]

yep, name is preferred over ref - the usual rules from here apply.

Applied to Miglianico Golf Course... seeing in the ID edit view what one works on is great for orientation, highlighted same hole number used twice on the in and out of the 9th and 18th which run parallel.
