The file you linked only contains the Postcode Areas, so it just has a single polygon for BT which is conterminous with the shape of NI itself, I don't see much value in including it.
At the moment this repo only contains postcode districts, I could probably include these postcode areas too, just not sure how best to name the files 🤔
Thank you for your thoughts. Perhaps the simplest would be to create parallel folders, having either districts or areas?
I realized all the BT* polygons were missing when doing a spatial join between data from the UK and your geojson data in tableau and somehow lost a portion of my points, when I realized it was the Norther Ireland portion. For my usecase, having the BT Area polygon just next to the more detailed ones would have been better than nothing but I realize that it would break your automation and your structure. So don't worry about me ;-)
After all, it would be best if someone could add the proper NI polygons in wikipedia.
I believe there are policy reasons preventing the NI polygons from being sourced, there is a similar situation with the ONS Postcode Directory where the NI codes aren't included, or if IIRC come under a different license.

The script simply pulls data from Wikipedia, if the data isn't available then no polygon is generated.
ie. this page is missing from Wikipedia:

Hi,
thank you for the response. Could one at least consider using this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Attached_KML/List_of_postcode_areas_in_the_United_Kingdom
which appears to have at least the Postcode Areas (2 digits), including Northern Ireland.
