[OSM-dev] Tag-info: Tag descriptons

[Dave F]

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.
