[Talk-us] Ward boundaries in the US admin_level scheme

[stevea]

I have updated https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/United_States_admin_level with a new "Wards" section.  It asks mappers to consider whether:

boundary=political, possibly with political_division=*, is more correct in that particular case: if a ward is only distinguished for electoral purposes, tag it as boundary=political + political_division=ward. Additionally, if it can be determined that "wards" do not accurately represent a truly administrative "government" as defined here (whether at admin_level=9 or another value) in any particular state, Territory, or Commonwealth, please correct the corresponding table entry by deleting "Ward" as a possible value.
