Places without population should be tagged with place=locality. The name of an object should always be tagged with name=*. If you know the border of the place you could make a multipolygon of them and add the place=* tag on that. answered 07 Aug '10, 19:07  Gnonthgol ♦ edited 09 Aug '10, 14:44  Jochen Topf |
Small inhabited places (smaller then hamlets) can be tagged place=isolated_dwelling. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Disolated_dwelling answered 20 Mar '11, 20:35  dieterdreist edited 21 Mar '11, 00:39 |
