Links to the destination articles

Shouldn't the listings here link to listings in the district articles? Where those listings are missing they should be added, and possibly some information be added. Without such a link, I am little wiser by seeing a listing of "Southern battery No. 1". The coordinates help me find it, but why would I want to go there? What's in the vicinity? I have to check the position in the right district article, which really should be our job, not the reader's. –LPfi (talk) 12:13, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

• I would love to have done this tourism extensively and be able to fill the gaps. I did fill some, based on my own military/historical research, but it's too little, oh yes it is. But I agree, the listings should all be linked, whenever humanly possible. Ibaman (talk) 12:20, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

• In the case of St Petersburg, I would exercise some care and discretion because there are SO many individual monuments, etc. that are cited. I think if I were updating the St Petersburg article, I would include a summary entry for "Monuments and historical sites" (or something like that) in the main article, mention the UNESCO citation, and list some of the major locations (those without a trailing alpha character) with links to the appropriate district article, and I would go through the District articles to verify that at least the major cites are mentioned in a bullet point. It could also be that you want to add a subsection under "See" in the District articles for the monuments listed by UNESCO. Just some thoughts....good luck! Mrkstvns (talk) 15:00, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
