Thanks for that

Type 'farm' into the wiki & it take you to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm

place <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=farm <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dfarm> - a place named by a name of a farm

This appears to contradict the other (incorrect) description.

I'll discuss further on Talk forum.

see "Description"  on the wiki page :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dfarm <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dfarm>

wiki source:

        {{ValueDescription

        |key=place

        |value=farm

        |description=*Individually named farm (but not isolated).*

        |onNode=yes

    Hi

    From where does tag-info derive the descriptions for each tag?

    place=farm is "Individually named farm (but not isolated)." which
    I believe is incorrect. It should be used (very rarely, I assume)
    where a group of dwellings (hamlet) have taken the name of a
    nearby farm. To tag the area surrounding farm buildings,
    landuse=farmyard should be used.

    This, along with mapnik carto rendering them, has led to an
    increase in the misuse of this tag combination.

    Fill out this tool for evidence:
    http://taghistory.raifer.tech/

     Could it be amended please.

    Cheers
    Dave F.
