That's because the Key:admin_level page redirects to Key:boundary:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Key:admin_level&redirect=no

This is because the admin_level key is described inline in the
Key:boundary page:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary#admin_level

If you look at the top of the page you can see "(Redirected from
Key:admin level)".
