When was it redefined?

place=farm - A distinct identified farm at the node so tagged. In some countries the official type of a residential area smaller than a hamlet (Germany: Gehöft).
My reading of the proposal for place=isolated_dwelling
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/isolated_dwelling
is that place=isolated_dwelling is like place=farm but for places that aren't farms. This suggests the description on the place=farm wiki page is wrong.
