Introduction

Use overpass turbo ⟶ Export ⟶ section Query ⟶ osm wiki ⟶ download or copy to create a query with special wiki syntax.

Template to generate overpass turbo examples for Wiki pages.

Features:

• display Overpass query source code in a source code box as-is
• adds a small Overpass Turbo icon to the upper right corner of the source code box. This icon directly links Overpass turbo without having to create dedicated overpass turbo sharelinks in the first place.

Please write to User:mmd, if you have any suggestions or questions to this template.
