However it seems OK now - I've even now got the Mapnik/Osmarender toggle that has been  missing for weeks.

  Which area are you seeing this in? You may find that somebody near you has been entering that information into the name tag when they don't have all the details.

    Has someone accidentally switched on some diagnostics for the rendering

    The area to which I have been contributing has been rendered (in several
    senses) almost unreadable by enormous icons with messages like
    "not-in-map feature", "residential road without name" and much more. 

    While such things might perhaps be presented to a contributor they
    certainly should not be presented in the world view which makes the
    whole project look ridiculous.

    And objecting *strongly* to roads (or other features) without names 
    seems ludicrous to me. If we don't know a name, are we supposed to
    pretend that a mapped road doesn't exist?

    But presumably this is just a mistake that will be fixed ASAP...
