What is the difference between name=* and board:title=*?

What is the difference between name=* and board:title=*? Should the name tag be used at all?

Very few information boards will have a real proper name, but many will have a title.--geow (talk) 15:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

If somebody would ask how some information board is named I would answer with it title rather than saying that is is unnamed 16:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Well, I don't want to appear overly pedantic, but wouldn't that be a clear misuse of the name-tag? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things --geow (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
I would even say that name=* is rather deprecated on information=board, however I don't think this is said somewhere explicitly. --Mfbehrens99 (talk) 17:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
