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:

  Could it be amended please.

Cheers
Dave F.
