Currently I see that we have tagged most of the Indian districts(more
than 300) with place=county[1] but this tag is mainly used on nodes
rather than on administrative boundaries ways that are tagged with
boundary=administrative.[2] But we have added administrative boundaries
for all districts in India[3] and haven't tagged with place tags. And
also we have used admin_level=5 for all district boundaries but the wiki
shows admin_level=6 for district boundaries.[4]
Request the community to comment or provide suggestions on -
1. Whether to use place=district instead of place=county since we
refer them as districts on the ground in India.[2]
2. Whether to update the India wiki page to avoid confusion on
using admin_level=5 for districts considering we haven't added revenue
division boundaries[4].
