Also, I doubt anyone in ordinary life refers to a mountain as "Mount
So-and-So 2000 meters", rather than simply "Mount So-and-So".

User Raymo853 and I are having a friendly discussion on changeset
50470413[1]. He has been adding the elevation of mountain peaks (in feet)
to the name tag. For example, he changed "Crown Point" to "Crown Point
11,463 ft."[2] While the wiki doesn't specifically address the issue of
elevation as part of a peak name, it does say "Name is the name only"[3].
Could we get feedback from the wider community on this?
+10 for elevation only in the ele tag.
As surveying improves or plate tectonics changes, it would be ridiculous
to change the name rather than just the elevation.
adding the elevation to the name tag makes life far more difficult for data
consumers. don't do it.
