How can I create a map highlighting a single relation which then could be used for wikipedia articles? Ideas:

To export this map, just use the standard exporting methods (screenshot or the 'Export' tab) or use the 'Permalink' link at the bottom left. 4
Don't forget that embedding an OSM map in Wikipedia could potentially generate vast amounts of traffic which OSM is not funded to cater for. You should investigate using Wikimedia-owned servers for this. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap is a starting point.

This works for showing the relation on a map, but exporting doesn't work. It just exports the map image, without the relation highlighted. Though taking a screenshot does work.

I would also like to be able to embed a map highlighting a relation, but the above answer doesn't work(anymore?). The 'share' tab will let me embed a map, while linking to the bigger map with the relation, but the embedded map doesn't have the relation shown at all. It doesn't seem like openstreetmap.org/export/embed is able to do relations...how can we make it do that without getting all crazy and serving our own tiles?

@Nate_Wessel: That is what Vclaw said directly above you at 22 Jul '10, 16:07. You can take a (static) screenshot. Please ask in a new question (not in the answer box below) if you cannot find a similar already answered question (as this here is about Wikipedia and not necessarily about embedding). I reported the issue for the osm.org page as a bug. But there may be other options.

You should not create "collection" relations (like "a relation of all harbours"). See Relations are not categories on the OSM wiki.
