Hi<br>
Off on a slight tangent.<br>
<br>
There's been an increase (world wide) in the use of place=farm. If
you fill out the boxes on this site you'll see: <a href="http://taghistory.raifer.tech/" target="_blank">http://taghistory.raifer.tech/</a><br>
Over 19k are in GB:
<a href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/place=farm" target="_blank">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.<wbr>org.uk/tags/place=farm</a><br>
<br>
The reason for the increase could be it being displayed in the OSM
carto rendering<br>
Just one example: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4364588497" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>node/4364588497</a><br>
<br>
I believe many, if not all, are misinterpretations & should be
landuse=farmyard.<br>
The wiki <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>wiki/Farm</a> says "a place named
by a name of a farm"<br>
To me, that means a collection of houses not associated with the
farm being collectively given the name of that farm, so in effect, a
hamlet has been named, say, Manor Farm. <br>
<br>
Is that a common occurrence? I know of no such in my locale.<br>

<p>Well done to everyone who has participated. What has been the

<p>Only a couple of weeks left - time to start thinking about

farmyards we can add.</p>
