Changeset: 49765025
Changed blue line encompassing Kailua, Oahu from "Line" to "Administrative Boundary." Attempting to fix Pokemon spawning issue in Pokemon Go. Unsure if this will fix the problem, but worth a try.

Comment from Alan
Hi there, thanks for editing OpenStreetMap! Those lines are part of "relations" which describe the boundary of Kailua. So the lines themselves do not need the administrative tag. I know that relations are a fairly advanced topic in OSM, so it's understandable that it's not immediately obvious how to edit them. Most people use JOSM (the more advanced editing program) to edit relations, instead of iD (which is the editing tool embedded in the website).
But can I ask, what do you mean by a Pokemon spawning issue? Are there pokemon spawning where they shouldn't be spawning? Or are you trying to get them to spawn, where they aren't already spawning?

By Pokemon spawning issue, I mean trying to get them to spawn in Kailua. Kailua's been a dead zone (nothing spawning at all) for approximately 6-7 months now. I know Niantic (Pokemon Go's maker) uses OpenStreetMap data, so I'm trying to figure out what changed about Kailua.
Recently, we had a Pokemon Go update where Niantic accidentally reverted to older map data, and Pokemon started spawning again in Kailua for abour 24 hours. Then Niantic went back to newer data, and Kailua became a dead zone again. So I know something in the map data's causing the issue...just not sure what.

It looks like a new user, Monster Squad removed the tag boundary=administrative on April 18th. The changeset note wasn't descriptive enough to figure out what they were trying to accomplish. It looks good now.
