So would I.
Town House is just an estate agent marketing term, they are still terraced.
It's not entirely a marketing term. In British English, it's generally
used to mean larger (often three or four storey) terraced houses in a
Georgian (or neo-Georgian) style, as opposed to the "two up, two down"
Victorian artisan style.
These, for example are townhouses:

but these are not:

Both, however, are terraced - that is, they are physically contiguous
with no gap between adjacent dwellings - as opposed to detached or
semi-detached.
From a mapping perspective, therefore, they should be tagged as
terraced, because that's their physical construction. Which is also what
the wiki says, there's no documented house=town_house (or
house=townhouse) sub-tag.
