Best way to tag a city / town
I see different approaches for tagging a city. I normally tag it like:
name=...
boundary=administrative
admin_level=8
place=city (or town)
landuse=residential
layer=-1
However whatever I try, maplint marks it with the warning ("Not in map feature"), so it looks like I'm doing something wrong.
Is there some consensus how to tag a city or does anybody know whey maplint is complaining?

Re: Best way to tag a city / town
Not in map feature means that maplint does not recognise the tagging which doesn't mean anything by itself. Think of it as not complaining but rather a notice.

Re: Best way to tag a city / town
I know, but since I see different ways to tag cities, I was wondering what the most common way is.
