Allow use for France

Please see Wikidata talk:WikiProject France#Pour en finir avec les cantons for a discussion on if or how to use it for France (proposal by Ayack). Currently the property can be used only for India/Canada (see property proposal). --- Jura 15:26, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Allow use for Bulgaria ?

@Nikola Tulechki:

Just to be sure the property it's correctly used, can you clarify which districts would use it (instead of located in the administrative territorial entity (P131))? How frequently are these districts revised? --- Jura 17:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Bulgarian Multi-mandate Constituencies (constituency of the National Assembly of Bulgaria (Q43791141)) are defined at various levels of granularity:

• They mostly correspond to 1st level entities oblast of Bulgaria (Q209824)
• For Plovdiv (Q187874), they are defined at the 2nd level as sets of municipality of Bulgaria (Q1906268) (e.g 16th MMC – Plovdiv-city (Q4552188)).
• Finally, the capital Sofia (Q472) consists of 3 MMC (e.g, 24th MMC – Sofia-city 24 (Q4631990)) defined as sets of the 3-rd level entities municipal district of Bulgaria (Q7553685).

They have been stable since 2009. --- Nikola Tulechki (talk) 17:49, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good. I re-added it and refined the type constraint. It's possible to use {{Autofix}} to change them from P131 if already in use there. --- Jura 17:28, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Inverse property

Which inverse property should we use? contains the administrative territorial entity (P150)? has part(s) (P527)? None of them? Ayack (talk) 10:44, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Electoral districts in Turkey

There are 81 provinces in Turkey and these provinces are electoral districts. In fact, large provinces consist of more than one electoral district. For example, Istanbul is a large province, there are 3 electoral districts: Q20723391, Q20723392, Q20723393. etc. More information: en:Template:Electoral_districts_of_Turkey.

I entered election information for Istanbul's Fatih district, but it gave an error warning: [1] .

Property:P7938 gives an error because there is a country restriction. Can we add Turkey to the country list to avoid errors? Sadrettin (talk) 08:24, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
