<p dir="auto">For Overpass queries, there’s currently a special case that pulls in a dedicated string based on the <code class="notranslate">admin_level=*</code> if it’s present. Maybe instead we could use the generic “Administrative Boundary” label, using the normal code path, but add a suffix like “(Level 3)”?</p>

<p dir="auto">For Nominatim queries, if a <code class="notranslate">place=*</code> tag is present on either the boundary or the <code class="notranslate">label</code> member, we show that as the label instead of anything related to the boundary:</p>

<p dir="auto">For example, searching for “<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Wapakoneta#map=13/40.56551/-84.19397" rel="nofollow">Wapakoneta</a>” returns <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/182636" rel="nofollow">this <code class="notranslate">boundary=administrative</code> <code class="notranslate">admin_level=8</code> relation</a> but labels it as a “Town” based on the <code class="notranslate">place=town</code> tag on <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/153976720" rel="nofollow">this <code class="notranslate">label</code> member</a>. The label doesn’t call it a “boundary” of any sort, even if that’s what gets highlighted when you select the result. This is pretty reasonable, because the boundary represents a populated place that we’d tag as a <code class="notranslate">place=town</code> regardless of the boundary or legal designation. However, for something that doesn’t represent a populated place, such as a U.S. county or a French department, a <code class="notranslate">label</code> wouldn’t be as relevant or appropriate, so there still needs to be a “boundary” label for the search result.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think it would be possible to use a suffix here too. It would need some additional translatable format strings.</p>
