Introduction

It is often very tedious to gather all Wikidata ID's in order to create a dynamic district map for Wikivoyage. The macro on this page can automate this task.
Example: To get all the districts of Prague is just a matter of minutes with this tool.
Example: Prague

Workflow

  1. Enter the Name of the place to districtify.
  2. Enter the Administrative Level of the subdistricts you are looking for. This is sort of a trial-and-error process. The admin level has to be larger than the one of the place defined in the name field (So if you look for districts of a city like Prague, which has "admin_level=8" the districts will show up by entering either "9" or "10"). Alternatively check the sub-districts in OSM and copy the value of "admin_level" to get the right admin_level without trial-and-error (e.g. Vyšehrad has "admin_level=10". Thus you select the "10" radio button).
  3. Click on Create Mapshapes to get code, which can be directly pasted to Wikivoyage & an overview table of all districts.

Example queries

Example: Prague Subdistricts of Prague
Name: Prague
Administrative Level: 10
Example: Slovakia Regions of Slovakia*
Name: Slovakia
Administrative Level: 8
Example: France Regions of France*
Name: France
Administrative Level: 4
Example: Boroughs of Berlin Boroughs of Berlin
Name: Berlin
Administrative Level: 9
Example: Neighborhoods of Berlin Neighborhoods of Berlin
Name: Berlin

* Overpass queries on larger areas (i.e. whole countries) can take a considerable amount of time to compute. The regions of France in the example above take about 4mins to compute.
