<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In general abbreviations and commas are avoided in tagging OpenStreetMap wide, so no don’t add a comma but add an appropriate tag.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Land_and_boundaries</a> don’t have an example using a node as a label, but the suburb of Cremorne, NSW does,

<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11677688">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11677688</a> should have the node
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/268549421">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/268549421</a> added as a “label”. This will then show up as the “centre” of Scarborough.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
