At the danger of throwing a spanner in the works (or better sabots :-)): there is an ongoing discussion on place mapping. Mainly taking place here https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2816
Essentially the relationship between administrative divisions and places/settlements is complicated and while we have working tagging for administrative entities (and for them I would normally suggest following whatever the "official" hierarchy and designation is), our place modelling is a bit of a mess, which among other issue has led to administrative boundaries being used for places. In any case, on your original question, I would tend towards a national consensus that doesn't deviate too much from the population guidelines in the wiki, if at all reasonable. The US-Hamlet usage is an oddity that, IMHO, should not serve as a role model. Simon Am 02.01.2019 um 05:12 schrieb Allan Mustard: > Not according to the wiki.
