OpenStreetMap
I have a landuse/forest which is a big area.
In this I have a small area (wild fields) around a river.
There are no trees because it's wet.
I wand to name the small area "Hengstbachaue" but the renderer puts this name to the forest around. See
osm.org/?lat=50.03428&lon=8.64144&zoom=15&layers=B00FT
How can I put tags, so the area is named correct?

You need to add a tag to describe the contents of the inner area. Maybe natural=heath or natural=scrub or if it is very wet then natural=marsh. This may give the renderer something to name.

Now I tried natural=scrub. The german word is Aue (in english maybe floodplain).
So it's not heath and not really marsh. Let's see how it look like next week.

Just adding/changing the tag didn't help.
I now added a new poligon to the map with the same points like
the inner poligon. And removed the name from the inner polygon.

This way it look's better.
But the name is along the border, not in the area like it is when using natural=water.
But I don't like this double polygon.
I now deleted the inner polygon without name.
Now there is only the polygon with name and natural=scrub.
