Hi!
I’ve been searching for far too long now and am surprised it has been so difficult.
Further to this very old question, the ‘dot dot dot dash’ boundary style seems to be used extensively in Nova Scotia to demarcate official (“Civic Address File”) community boundaries (e.g. Debert vs Masstown vs Glenholme). However, it doesn’t seem to be shown on the Wiki page for lines and boundaries, perhaps because it’s not an “administrative” boundary per se, but I can’t find it mentioned anywhere else, either! I’m using OSM as a base map in QGIS, and was hoping to include it on my (custom) legend, alongside the three grades of roads, railway, etc. Can anyone point me to where I would find this graphic file (and shall I perhaps add it to the Lines page?)
Thanks!

Hello
What would help to pin it down would be to browse on osm.org to a place where it shows, then zoom right in and copy the address bar (which will have latitude and longitude in it) and post that here.
That way people will be able to figure out what styling rule in (I presume) OSM Carto (the “standard” map on osm.org) is involved.
I think it’s an boundary=administrative, admin_level=8 like i.e. Relation: Debert (9239408) | OpenStreetMap
And I think that the rendering examples on the Wiki, be it Tag:boundary=administrative - OpenStreetMap Wiki or that linked by @prymal400, OpenStreetMap Carto/Lines - OpenStreetMap Wiki is out of date.
Yes, the Wiki is out of date. Current renderings of admin boundaries are here.
