Hi, In general abbreviations and commas are avoided in tagging OpenStreetMap wide, so no don’t add a comma but add an appropriate tag.
The Australian tagging guidelines https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Land_and_boundaries don’t have an example using a node as a label, but the suburb of Cremorne, NSW does, https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5655122 So in the case of Scarborough, the relation https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11677688 should have the node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/268549421 added as a “label”. This will then show up as the “centre” of Scarborough. The node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/268549421 should have the name changed back to just “Scarborough” and the population tags moved to the relation.

Here is an example https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/268549421/history I have tried correcting what I see as incorrect tagging. But on reflection, is it ok to define the place with the addition of a comma and further definition? Is there something on the wiki to point these mappers to that clarifies this? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsuburb
