Hi there.

I've got a couple of examples now where I think I've tagged things correctly; but the rendered view on osm.org is so weird it's made me wonder. Am I doing it wrong; or is the renderer doing something unhelpful?

There's a new housing development - Walter Hancock Court, the entire building is at 1 McGrath Road. It has 26 flats. So I've tagged each flat with a node as follows:

  • addr:flats=14 (etc.)
  • addr:housename=Walter Hancock Court
  • addr:housenumber=1
  • addr:street=McGrath Road
  • entrance=home

(See changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/67097020 )

But osm.org shows all the entrances as "1 Walter Hancock Court". There's another example nearby at Granite Apartments, where all of the 100+ apartments render as 39 Granite Apartments. 39 is the housenumber of the entire block. (see https://osm.org/go/0EEQVYTyt?m=&changeset=67097020 )

Should I be tagging these differently, or reporting an issue to the mapnik maintainers?

The default style on OSM.org is called OSM Carto, Mapnik is just an engine this (and some other) style uses.

The problem you have just described has a separate ticket in OSM Carto bug tracker, if you need to discuss it further, please do it there:
