Getting away from the discussion of river v canal & back to the original problem pictured https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/347369154 , why is it "River Wey Navigation" while the river itself is just "Wey" https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/243353339#map=16/51.2572/-0.5605? Shouldn't they both either be "River Wey" or just "Wey"?
& is the unnamed river to the South https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23216681, the natural Wey?
