In the general case, please don't suggest that people mistag things just 
so that one particular renderer (one that probably isn't used by the 
majority of people that consume OSM data*) renders it.

However in this particular case I can't claim to be familiar enough with 
it to say whether 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dtower or 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dmast is more 
appropropriate, or indeed whether those wiki pages reflect OSM usage.

Best Regards,

Andy

or MAPS.ME these days.
