Hi,
First of all Northern Irish EDs cannot be tagged like Southern ones. This is because they are no longer Administrative Units as they were abolished in the early 920s and replaced by Wards. From what I can see no wards in NI (these are still Admin Boundaries ) are tagged at present. This is a separate issue but there is no point tagging EDs without tagging wards as well. Wards will have to be injected into OSM with admin_level=9 given their legal status. In the strict sense they were never known as Electoral Divisions as that nomenclature dates from the 1990s in the RoI only. They were DEDs at abolition time. There are no name:ga names either, all the names must be English only. Furthermore EDs were known as Poor Law Electoral Divisions ( 1850 1898) for longer than they were known as District Electoral Divisions ( 1899-c. 1923) although census data was produced on an ED as well as on a Ward basis in NI until the 1950s. Nevertheless they are of considerable historical interest and I think I know how to tag them.. Here is the suggested scheme so that Nominatim disgorges all the variants. boundary=electoral_division alt_name=Drumsnot DED alt_name_1=Drumsnot PLED name=Drumsnot name:en=Drumsnot District Electoral Division place=locality type=boundary Input most welcome from all.
