Great, have updated the wiki -

and will change the values from county to district.<br>

<div dir="ltr">2. Looking at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative</a>
it seems like admin_level=6 is a popular choice for a district
level unit in the other big countries, larger than India. Its a
good idea to use 6 for consistency. And it allows use to use the
5 slot for the zonal councils.</div>

Right, admin_level=6 seems better for districts than 5. But how do
we take care of districts that are already tagged with 5? As most of
the districts have already been tagged 5 -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/keys/admin_level#values">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.in/keys/admin_level#values</a>, should we
mass replace them with 6 if the consensus is in favor of this here?
<br>
<br>
And also values like A & A1 are used in combination with
railway=station tag - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/eWQ">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/eWQ</a>. Don't know
what do these values indicate in an administration boundary and
relate to railway stations.<br>

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]<br>
<br>
Request the community to comment or provide suggestions on -<br>
<br>
1. Whether to use place=district instead of place=county
since we refer them as districts on the ground in India.[2]<br>
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].<br>
