Well, it is still there, first sentence of the main article.

Woodland with no forestry.

There are major differences in the way this tag and landuse=forest are
used by some Openstreetmap users. Some use this tag to show an area is
covered in trees, others use it for woodland not impacted by human
maintenance. This problem is explained in the page Forest.

See the page Forest to understand the usage of this tag and
landuse=forest.

And on the page forest:

...which has some good hint. "wood=yes" is deprecated, but it is
pretty clear that you know it is wood, but do not know if it is
managed. Everything else is ambiguous.

Well, normally we are very careful for imports. "Just tagging it with
landuse=forest" is of course also an option.
