+ 1 for the name without state, country. Those can be found by the
enclosing features, there is no need to add tags 'is_in'.
Careful with populations.. they might be for the town and not the area..
would need checking?

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.

Australia
Hi
I have noticed that place names are altered to add the state, or
country, city in OSM.
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?
