In Italy, a housenumber is "a unique number that identifies an external access that from the road leads directly or indirectly to houses, shops, offices, garages, etc". It's not a rule of OSM or an opinion, it's something that derives from country legislation. I understand it's different from several other countries, but we should take it for granted and consider it also necessary e.g. an housenumber tag on a building outline will never accommodate a building that has several entrances with different numbers, as happens very frequently.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br><span style=" font-size:12pt">> It seems this would affect currently 120 polygons<br>> e.g.<br>> </span><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1018477062" target="_blank"><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue"><u>https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1018477062</u></span></a><span style=" font-size:12pt"><br>> </span><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/358516358" target="_blank"><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue"><u>https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/358516358</u></span></a><span style=" font-size:12pt"><br>> </span><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/163717877" target="_blank"><span style=" font-size:12pt;color:blue"><u>https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/163717877</u></span></a></div><div><br></div><div><br><span style=" font-size:12pt">The wiki page was amended to make clear that the import data is only related to the hamlets in the municipal area and not the main city. </span></div><div><br></div><div><br><span style=" font-size:12pt">Your examples are out of scope of this import because they are in Sondrio and not in a hamlet.

Since it is being debated all the time this should be considered an
open question even though current documentation states that addresses
on areas are to be avoided at all costs. The Italian legislation on
housembers does not meet the requirements in OSM, where addresses
also apply to POIs like shops, which can be mapped as areas. There is
some movement on this issue, such as the initiative to promote the
Bremen schema, but it is an evolving subject. I feel the need to ask
not to take advantage imports to do that. That said…</div>

That’s okay for me because this item doesn't carry POI information.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><span style=" font-size:12pt">Please also note that not only it is wrong that this building has an address, but the address is also outdated.</span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div>

In this regard I suggest to adopt old_addr: instead of was:addr: for
obsolete addresses:</div>
