Mild vandalism was from v5, not v7

This changeset appears to be vandalism.

One of the threads of this broad discussion here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/proposed-double-entry-of-consolidated-city-counties/122459/

Basically, `place` tags can be removed on a relation with `boundary=administrative` if the label node has a `place` tag

Well, it's true I made *a* change to that wiki page, but I did not make *that* change.

border_type=state has been there since the 2009 version by Skippern:
osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Key:border_type&oldid=323226

In 2017 it was cleaned up to the current format by stevea:
osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Key:border_type&oldid=1490725

You might be able to contact either of them to find out why they did that -- I know stevea is still very active on OSM US and he's pretty approachable.

I tagged them border_type=state for 1) consistency since 14 of the states had it, 36 did not, 2) I use it in the way I described in my other response, 3) and in this post we discussed adding border_type=* to boundaries in the US: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/proposed-double-entry-of-consolidated-city-counties/122459

Perhaps this upset your use of the data in some way? What was your work around for the 14 states that had border_type=state?

On that page, under Country specific / United States, border_type=state corresponds to admin_level-4.

14 of the states had border_type tags, 36 did not. Every county, parish, and borough in the US have a border_type tag, and in the forum we've discussed that every boundary=administrative should have a border_type tag.

This also allows easy filtering in Overpass.

For example, this query returns over 70 results:

```
[out:json];
area[wikidata=Q30]->.parent;
relation[admin_level=4](area.parent);
out tags;
```

Included are the US territories, the District of Columbia, three Canadian provinces where the US and Canada have a border dispute, several farm management areas, etc.

This query slightly improves the situation:

```
[out:json];
area[wikidata=Q30]->.parent;
// Add boundary=administrative
relation[boundary=administrative][https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:admin_level=4](area.parent);
out tags;
```

But it still returns 59 results, including the US territories, the three Canadian provinces, and DC.

However this query:
```
[out:json];
area[wikidata=Q30]->.parent;
// Add border_type=state
relation[boundary=administrative][https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:border_type=state][https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:admin_level=4](area.parent);
out tags;
```

Returns the 50 states.

All border_type=state are admin_level=4, but not all admin_level=4 are border_type=state.
