Hi, just letting you know that Magna is an incorporated metro township. I changed it to admin level 8 to match the other 2 metro townships that have been added to OSM so far. Happy mapping!

Very kind of you; thanks much! And happy mapping to you.

As an aside, to be consistent with other states that put townships at admin_level=7, shouldn't 7 be the correct value for Utah's five metro townships?

I think it's better to be consistent with the rest of Utah's city boundaries which are at admin_level=8. The metro townships have fewer powers than cities, so if there's any deviation they should be at admin_level=9.

Yes (and I don't want to start an argument), metro townships do have fewer powers, but they are not cities, which is what 8 denotes in Utah. In fact, Wikipedia says "A metro township is a type of municipal government in Utah equivalent to a civil township." As OSM calls US civil townships 7, it seems slam-dunk easy to say that they get 7.
