admin_level and boundary=administrative are tags for administrative
classification, don't confuse this with "place=village" as geographic class
for a type of human settlements independent from administrative structure
(they may coincide but they do not have to, there doesn't need to be a
dedicated administrative entity for a settlement in order to merit a place
tag).
