Some of the Land Use items I have added to OSM using don't appear to be showing on the map several days later - example here http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.47411/-2.81320 where the man_made storage tanks are not showing.

What am I not doing please? Robin

The OpenStreetMap style is hosted on GitHub, you can see exactly what is, and isn't, displayed there. It looks like man_made=storage_tank isn't rendered by that style, and hence it's not coming up.

You're lucky though, man_made as a key is imported into the database. You could try contributing to the OSM carto style to get it to come up.

Many thanks for the quick responses. Explains why I can't see them though I don't understand the logic and the GitHub and carto style is all gobbledygook to me - may as well be written in another language! Robin

I'm sure the man_made=storage_tank tag was being displayed on the standard map until recently. All my tanks have disappeared too. Probably just the whim of one of the devs I suppose.
Edit: OK, I must admit that I have spent too much time admiring my tanks in Josm.

Computer says no. I couldn't find a commit removing man_made=storage_tank either. Are you sure they have been rendered in the past? Maybe due to an additional tag (I'm not suggesting to add one :))?

I use an old variant of openstreetmap-carto (from mid last year) and it doesn't render them either, so if there was a change that caused these not to show, if was before then.

Maybe some other storage tanks on the map had a building tag on them?

It seems very common to add the building tag to storage tanks, though I would have thought that man_made=storage_tank should be sufficient.
