Wikivoyage:Requested articles

(Redirected from Requested articles)

This is a list of articles that do not yet exist on Wikivoyage. Please add links here, and delete those that have a proper article that is not just a link or a blank template.

Or - why not start the article yourself?

Requests should meet the What is an article? policy. For example, a location should normally have somewhere to eat, somewhere to sleep and at least one thing to see or do to deserve an article. A travel topic or itinerary must be within the scope of Wikivoyage.

I might be able to take on this project in the near future. I took a trip there a few years ago and have a great deal of pictures, insight, etc. to show for it. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 15:30, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mescalero Sands (Roswell, New Mexico) — You can sleep here but like Chaco Culture National Historical Park, I don't know how safe it is to get in and out of.
  • Rio Rancho (New Mexico) — This is the only easily accessible location without a Wikivoyage article between Texas and Utah that is directly on the centerline.
  • Fishlake National Forest (Richfield, Utah) — You can sleep here. Also includes Pando, the heaviest and one of the oldest living organisms in the world.

Oceania

edit
  • Kuk Swamp archeological and UNESCO World Heritage site in Papua New Guinea providing evidence of agriculture 9000 years ago. Only a one-line listing in the broad highlands region article at the moment.
This one's a hard one. The site is quite isolated, so much that even Commons or Flickr do not have a single photo of this site. There's just little info on this. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 03:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unfamiliar with _Moravian_ Wallachia, but I presume that like the Romanian region of Wallachia, it would be spelled in English with a "W". Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:41, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As quoted by Ikan Kekek it is Moravian Wallachia not Moravian Vallachia .SO i am changing V to W. It is a mountain region in Czech Republic. Sulthan90 (talk) 11:14, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How does this relate to the Moravian Church, Christianity#Hussites? Pashley (talk) 16:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

France

edit
  • Coulommiers, town known for a particular variety of Brie cheese
  • Langres is a city in the Haute-Savoie region, which is, in a nutshell, a medieval city as uninterrupted by time as can be (aside inevitable inventions such as electricity and cars). Commons has some, though not many pictures of the city.

Ireland

edit
- this harbour islet is described as "See" in Cobh, as is Haulbowline island, which seems enough. Grahamsands (talk) 20:19, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Latvia

edit
  • Ādaži - A town outside of Riga, Latvia

Poland

edit
  • Lądek-Zdrój - lots of beautiful photos in Commons; look at the category for the town. Coverage of Poland is really deficient in general on this site. There are numerous important destinations that have no article, and others, like Kłodzko, which based on what's on Commons, deserve significantly longer and more detailed articles with more images.

Reasons to travel

We have Chess, Go and Xiangqi. Reenactment and LARP is somewhat related. Pashley (talk) 03:07, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now we have Board games article.--Hnishy63 (talk) 00:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • European capital of culture on the one hand "event travel" like the Olympics or World Cup on the other hand the EU explicitly requires long term effects, so even visiting a former capital of culture can lead to related discoveries
  • Toplessness (common destinations for women who practice female toplessness) - In some parts of the world, many women have to deal with the fact that although female toplessness is commonly practiced in public places like beaches, swimming pools or even parks, often there is a lack of information in regards to the official status of some of these places, meaning that in many cases some women practice topless sunbathing (de facto) without really knowing if this act is allowed or even tolerated (de jure) in a determined region. Indeed, most of these women feel obliged to practice toplessness in a discreet manner to avoid confusion and unwanted sights. Others decide to travel for long distances to reach a more isolated place (such as a remote beach) where topless sunbathing can be done (at least de facto) without so much worries. Not to mention that in some occasions a few women have had problems with the police and other authorities mainly because these women don't know the official status of these places, as I said above. With all of this in mind, here I bring a proposition of an article whose focus should be on what are the areas around the world where female toplessness is more commonly practiced and what's the status (if known, de jure or at least de facto) of these areas, as well as the best destinations for women who take out the top (and don't want to worry a lot). Thanks in advance.
    I think an article telling about laws in every jurisdiction will quickly get unwieldy, and additionally, practices vary in many jurisdictions. I also don't know whether toplessness is the thing. Can you have just a bikini at the beach? In many places you are supposed to have at least a T-shirt over your bath suit, or even to wear a burqini (hmm, is there any beach where those are the common swimwear?). I think the practises are better handled in Cope or in a paragraph on beaches in Do for countries or regions known as beach destinations (and in beach listings where practises vary from one beach to the other). Or, if people do choose destination based on the possibility to sunbath topless without issues, that aspect could have a section in Beaches (in addition to the less focused discussion in the country and region articles). –LPfi (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Working in the European Union
    Is this for EU/EEA citizens or people from elsewhere? The issues are very different. For EU citizens you don't need work permits, but you may need recognised certification, which isn't standardised in all sectors, and you should consider effects on social security, taxes etc. People from elsewhere need a country-specific work permit and I don't know how much general stuff there is to told. –LPfi (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Travel considerations for specific groups

edit
  • Freelance journalism isn't covered, although we have working abroad and travel writing.
    I think we should expand on the topic in Travel writing before starting an article, unless it can be made usable from the start. –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a legal difference between travel writing and journalism. For example, USA citizens can only travel to Cuba for specific covered reasons, one of those being for the purpose of journalism. USA Freedom of the Press though also means that you do not have to work for an established news agency in order to be a journalist. For example, if you have a blog that reports on different relevant news-worthy topics, then you can legally refer to yourself as an independent or freelance journalist and gain entry to Cuba, as long as the purpose of your trip is for news reporting on your blog as an independent journalist. This is different from general travel writing but can otherwise overlap. Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That tips would be very relevant for the blogger (or whomever), who doesn't feel as being a journalist but could turn into one for visiting that country. Freelance journalism could be added to the present Books, Guidebooks, Magazines and Blogging. I don't see anything in the current article that wouldn't apply to freelance journalists. –LPfi (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that "how to become an independent or freelance journalist" is a relevant topic for Wikivoyage though. That is a better topic for Wikiversity or Wikibooks instead. Go to Wikiversity first to learn how to become an independent journalist and then return to Wikivoyage to learn how to use your new status as an independent journalist to access travel locations that may otherwise be inaccessible such as Cuba and some USA government facilities (for example you can cite your blog in order to request press credentials to access the White House or a NASA rocket launch). However, not all countries have the same Freedom of the Press as the USA and may not recognize someone as a journalist simply because they are reporting news on a personal blog instead of working for an established news agency. Nicole Sharp (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Me neither. But journalism could be added to the list of different kinds of travel writing you could make money on. If you happen to be a journalist, or have the needed skills, then you could use that option. Compare with what is said about the other kinds of writing; we don't teach anybody to be a book writer either, we just list a few things to consider if you might want to be one. –LPfi (talk) 06:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Youth travel for travellers at age 15-26. When can youth discounts be expected? When is age limit an issue? (Many 20-year old Europeans are surprised that they cannot drink in the United States)
    I like the idea of having something specific like this given that the two preexisting articles don't necessarily apply to all minor travel situations. I'd be happy to use my own experiences as well :) --MewMewMadness (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    We have Working holiday and Gap year travel.
    Which cover some aspects. However, I don't think age limits and youth discounts should be handled in any depth in those two; a separate article sounds like a good idea. A few titbits can be had also from Female travellers, Hostels and Studying abroad. –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Erasmus program / Studying in the European Union
  • Couple travel - not necessarily honeymoon travel
    Couples can travel for any reason and I think they are reasonably well catered for anywhere (double rooms are standard at hotels, for one). Do you have any specific issues in mind? –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Adults-only travel destinations are a broad category which may need to be broken into smaller pieces. This might be "childfree" B&B's for those looking for peace and quiet, "couples-only resorts" for those looking to be alone together, or "topless"/"clothing optional"/"nude" activities which aren't appropriate for children (we already have "family-friendly" nudism at Naturism). There are also age restrictions (or restrictions against single people) with swingers travel, swingers cruises, swingers resorts and gender restrictions on venues like the "gay campground" or "lesbian resort" (we have LGBT travel, but it has no #Sleep section).
  • Travel as a non-binary individual - We already have LGBT Travel, but coverage of travel issues, non-binary individuals encounter could be expanded. Ideally it should include advice on places that non-binary indviduals may want to avoid (For example, In some destinations, there are bars and clubs that may seem neutral to non-binary individuals, but where those indviduals might get mistaken for potential sex partners for example.)
    The issues could indeed be expanded on in LGBT travel, but I think they very much go hand in hand, so I don't think we should have a separate article. However, if you think the format of the existing article makes it difficult to expand, feel free to create the separate article (or a draft) and other people might be able to merge the two to something better. The specific issue, to be seen as a potential sex partner, is not restricted to the non-binary – does it differ from unwanted attention towards cis women (or even heterosexual non-trans men?) –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Vehicle delivery — Various schemes used by snowbirds to transport vehicles cross-country, from w:Auto Train to auto transporters and drive-away companies (some hire chauffeurs to drive the vehicle [including RV's, lorries and buses], some match vehicles to other travellers heading the same way, some haul motorcars and large-truck cabs using tractor-trailer rigs or car carriers). is an overview.
  • Marinas, boat rental, houseboats — we have a Marina article but it's a useless skeleton about some town in California. We have cruising on small craft but not sailing per se.
  • The cruise ship article focuses on ocean cruising and ships. A parallel article (to be developed) would focus on river boat and barge canal cruising. River boats and barges offer more in-depth, close-up looks at many countries in their interiors.
  • Entering the United States as the section in United States is getting bloated

Whether to start a separate article for a particular airport should be discussed on Wikivoyage talk:Airport Expedition unless the airport is absolutely huge and complex.

- Why should we split up Flying in the United States? Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- there previously was a series on low cost airlines which was deemed so bad it only narrowly escaped outright deletion and was instead redirected to air travel on a budget Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Flying to Oceania - We have one for Africa, why can't we have one for Oceania?
  • Chinchero International Airport - A new airport under construction (as of March 2024) next to the town of Chinchero, Peru, 30.5 km northwest of Cusco. This larger airport will serve as another international airport to receive a wider range of direct international flights towards Cusco, Machu Pichu and the Valley of the Incas from various countries abroad without transiting through Lima. This airport is expected to open in middle of 2025 or 2026.
  • Jorge Chávez International Airport - the main airport serving Lima, the capital of Peru. It is the third busiest airport in South America in 2019. A new terminal is under construction on the opposite side of the runways from the original terminal which will include the construction of a new control tower, runway, and an upgrade to Av Santa Rosa for traffic to quickly go between the original and the new terminals.
  • Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu – a hub that's a popular transit point for passengers flying between North America and Oceania/Asia. It is also a hub for intra-state flights with Hawaiian Airlines, Mokulele and Southwwest as well a connection point for United (formerly Continental Micronesia) flights between the mainland and Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, and Marshall Islands.
  • Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) w:Felipe_Ángeles_International_Airport is a new airport 48km north/northeast of central Mexico City in the municipality of Zumpinango in the State of Mexico. It serves as an alternate airport for the Mexico City area with domestic flights from multiple cities in Mexico and international flights from Caracas, Santo Domingo and Panama City. This airport serves as a hub for Mexicana Airlines (operated by the government for the public) since December 2,2023.
  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (w:Fort_Lauderdale_International_Airport) in Fort Lauderdale is the second busiest airport to rival Miami International Airport in the Miami Metropolitan Area with domestic and international traffic. It is the hub or focus city for Allegiant, JetBlue, Southwest, Silver Airways and Spirit for the area. Some of the foreign airlines to both Miami and Ft Lauderdale such as Avianca, Bahamasair, El Al, Caribbean Airlines, and Copa. Others such as BermudAir and Azul (from Brazil) on go to Ft Lauderdale only. Right now the Wikivoyage link points to redirect to Fort Lauderdale#By plane.
  • Guadalajara International Airport - w:Miguel_Hidalgo_y_Costilla_Guadalajara_International_Airport is the fourth busiest airport in Mexico after Mexico City's Benito Juarez Airport serving the second largest city in Mexico. International flights from Central America (via Copa Airlines) as well as from multiple cities in U.S. and Canada (via Volaris Airlines, American, Alaska, United, Air Canada, Viva Aerobus, Aeromexico). This airport serves as a hub for Volaris.
  • El Dorado International Airport - the main airport serving Bogota, the capital of Colombia. It is the second busiest airport in South America in 2019. It is a hub for Avianca.
  • Brussels Airport - the main airport serving Brussels, the capital of Belgium. It is a hub for Brussels Airlines. Currently a redirect
  • Cairo International Airport - the main airport serving Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It is a hub for EgyptAir. It is the busiest airport in Africa in 2020 (). Cairo is also the sixth-largest city in the world. ()
  • Bole International Airport - main airport of Addis Ababa, the main hub for Ethiopian Airlines, and one of the most important hubs of Africa
  • Jomo Kenyatta International Airport - main airport of Nairobi, the main hub for Kenya Airways, and one of the most important hubs of Africa
  • Medellin José María Córdova International Airport - seem to be the second largest airport in Colombia after El Dorado in Bogota. It is also the operational hub for Avianca and Latam Colombia. It was for also a hub for Viva before they went out of business.

Get around

edit
Another approach would be to include information about Canada and change the name of the article to "North America without a car" or, to be more specific and avoid confusion about whether to include Mexico, "The U.S. and Canada without a car". Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I like the idea, but would prefer whether our "experiment" USA "works" - imho it's on a good path, but not quite "there" yet... Hobbitschuster (talk) 18:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we should do "North America without a car". "United States without a car" covers enough different regions, let alone one article for "getting around without a car" that stretches from Panama to the Yukon. IMO "Canada without a car" should be a separate article. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:25, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
New Zealand shares many of the same issues (poor rail/active/public transit connections vs. flying/driving between cities, villages, and suburbs) faced by Australia, Canada, and the US, despite its smaller size being overshadowed by Australia. It probably doesn't make sense to merge it with Australia, similarily to Canada without a car needing to be separate from the US article. In the New Zealand article it mentions "While public transport is usable in the cities of Auckland and Wellington, a car is almost essential to get around anywhere else." Toran107 (talk) 20:04, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tour boats are missing, leaving a huge gap between cruise ships and boating/cruising on small craft. An outline on ferries was started, but it needs some love.
    River boat and barge canal cruising are suggested above in Get in and Dinner cruises in Eat/drink. I think Tour boats could cover most of these. –LPfi (talk) 09:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overland travel in Africa — Africa brings a host of different troubles & issues when compared to overland travel just about anywhere else in the world. Such a page should include issues with fuel, vehicles (2WD vs 4x4 & also limited spare parts/service available for various brands), road conditions, road-side camping, and cover the many border issues present along the continent. This page should also cover some of the common routes in the various regions, but especially in regions difficult to traverse or where there are only a couple viable routes—such as the Sahara, east-west travel between coastal Libya and Zambia (basically there are no routes, but for the truly adventurous N'Djamena-Abeche-Khartoum or Yaounde-Bangui-Kampala are possible), and trans-continental travel down the west coast (there's really only one viable route between Gabon & Angola). A Cycling the Western Sahara itinerary now exists.
  • Trans-Sahara routes — Traveling across the Sahara is no doubt difficult and (often) dangerous. Having one page to cover all the different routes along with common modes of transport, border restrictions, and safety concerns would be very helpful in persons planning a grand overland trip across Africa and be much easier for overlanders than having to sift through info on (or which should be in) the pages of North Africa & Sahel countries. Could either be a page unto itself, or a section of the proposed Overland travel in Africa page
  • Cruising the Southern Ocean — While much of the content of this guide should be included in the "Get in" section of Antarctica, it would be nice to have a page written from the perspective of cruising to Antarctica, South Georgia Island, and even the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. Topics to include: types of cruises (small or large vessel & associated pros/cons), costs, packing list, various procedures/regulations (cleaning to prevent contamination, zodiac boat rides), typical activities (wildlife viewing, kayaking, station visits, helicopter flights), ships, overview of places visited (Antarctic peninsula, Ross Sea, South Georgia Is., Falkland Islands, Tierra del Fuego), and routes (from Ushuaia, Punta Arenas, or Australia/New Zealand).
  • Panama Canal by boat redlinks. Like the Suez Canal (which exists as Suez Route) it should have an article.
    To make such article interesting would be to include information of places along canal (viewing spots, national parks, etc) that are accessible by road(s) which run parallel to the canal (mainly on the east side) between Panama City and Colon. There are also secondary roads on the west side (connecting Colon to Cuipo via Gatun) that offer better views of the Gatun Lake. There's also a once daily train that connects Panama Albrook Station to Colon too.
    If the article is on Panama canal by boat I don't see why roadside attractions are essential. Of course, there may be more people travelling along the roads than along the canal. The focus could be on either or both. The article Suez Route is a stub, not a good model. –LPfi (talk) 08:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Intercity buses in Britain - the network is a lot older than the French or German ones.
There is Bus travel in the United Kingdom, but this is an outline with only a short paragraph on intercity. AlasdairW (talk) 21:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have traysikel as a redirect for the Filipino variant. Pashley (talk) 14:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Canals currently redirect to waterways:
    • Inland waterways in the United Kingdom, currently a stub, these are rather different from their European counterparts (and a lot smaller in some instances!). If there's a really interested party, specific waterways are probably best done as itineraries, (especially longer ones like the River Thames or Grand Union Canal (England) ) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • European inland waterways. There is a section "Rivers and Canals of Europe" in Waterways, but I think a proper article should have a structure hard to shoehorn into that section. The scope would be the waterways covered by the CEVNI regulations, with a short mention of the Kiel Canal and other special cases. This is an extensive waterway system. The regulations are uniform enough and the interconnections many enough that handling them in one article would be useful. The article would be linked from individual waterway itineraries.
  • Rail travel in Israel given the political commitment to expanding the network and strong passenger growth as well as the pervasiveness of sherut, Egged and hitchhiking in other guides, we could get a USP by improving our coverage there as well as filling a rather widening gap in coverage. Hobbitschuster (talk) 21:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely an article that would help our efforts to make railroads great again. So yes, Hobbitschuster, is there anyone on Wikivoyage who at least has a decent knowledge of Israel's rail network? Selfie City (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We currently have Ferries in the Mediterranean, which was nominated for vfd in 2018 and was kept. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:49, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ferry lines are (to my understanding) considerably more scarce than for instance in Europe or the archipelagoes of Southeast Asia, but as some exist, I'd be surprised if there aren't a few more of them. And because they're so scarce it could be useful for independent travelers planning an island-hopping voyage to have an overview of where they can find such ferries. Of course, if there are extremely few of them, it's probably best to collect them in Caribbean#By_boat_2 and make this a redirect. ϒpsilon (talk) 21:17, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quite a lot, it seems, if this site is correct and up to date. Ypsilon (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not really within our scope. Just because The Other Site has a particular travel topic doesn't mean we have to. --AndreCarrotflower (talk) 02:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We have Art Deco architecture. It's annoying that Art deco architecture doesn't redirect unless it's written in the search window. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I shall create this redirect. And it should be mentioned on the architecture page. I think my point still stands. Several eras are not covered at all and the eras we do cover are not all that well covered. Hobbitschuster (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your point does stand. There indeed could be more coverage of architecture - not to mention painting and sculpture. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:19, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
w:Brutalist architecture. Powers (talk) 23:20, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are probably even enthusiasts for that... After all, when they constructed the Plattenbau (GDR style high rises) in the 1970s and 1980s they considered them to be the best thing since sliced bread and wanted to tear down places like Dresden-Neustadt (which - if you read the listings carefully - is now the most popular part of Dresden with most tourists, precisely because it wasn't torn down). And other epochs like the architecture of Al Andalus or the British-Indian architecture (touched upon in British Raj) are well worth a detour if not a trip... Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Raising my hand as a fan of Brutalism. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 02:41, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Burtalist architecture is what built the National Theatre on London's South Bank and the Barbican, both noted arts venues :)ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:26, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other architecture red links moved from Architecture#Architectural styles. These may not all be viable topics, but they didn't belong in that article.

Or perhaps even African-American history? --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 16:33, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
African-American history now exists. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:26, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We have Minority cultures of Japan & a redirect at Ainu. I think that is enough. Pashley (talk) 14:24, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Libraries and monuments are too broad. Even prehistoric sites and archives are pretty broad, so I'm not sure if these are as good travel topics as they seem. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Marine history would be another prominent subdivision to cover museums, we already have Old ships don't we? 10:22, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Museums is now a Usable article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Libraries of special distinction could certainly be listed. This could include national libraries, or libraries renowned for their architecture.
Could be better covered, but that's down to people taking more time to develop that article. A lot of Gothic cathedrals are covered in the Gothic architecture article, though. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've created Biomes and ecosystems along those lines. Selfie City (talk) 00:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think this fits pretty well in the "textiles" article, where it is mentioned now. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:55, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As far as countries go, Industrial Japan and Industrial Germany would be important to have too. Gizza (roam) 02:41, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Town twinning is alluded to in twin towns (disambiguation), which also covers the unrelated Twin Cities concept. If there's something specific for the traveller to see or do, usually an event or cultural exchange as an activity like "Dull and Boring Days" in Boring OR USA, these might be travel-relevant as a separate topic. (We don't need a full list of every "twinned town" or "sister city" as there are a few thousand in Europe alone, many with just a signpost or a plaque at City Hall in the respective communities. w:Twin towns and sister cities is a good overview.)
Maybe we can have a section somewhere in a ctiy article on her sister cities? Hobbitschuster (talk) 00:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not really travel related. Wikipedia has enough trouble keeping the lists up to date. Powers (talk) 00:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe change the existing twin town entry from disambiguation to travel topic and leave it at that? K7L (talk) 10:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think you'd agree, that's an overbroad topic and will work better as subtopic articles. Would there be enough for an article about the 1848 Revolution? What about Spanish Civil War sites? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:34, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For now, I've made it a redirect to existing text. It might be expanded into an article later. Pashley (talk) 19:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An interesting prospect for a topic. According to Wikivoyage:Naming conventions we avoid the in article names including travel topic. Our article on the Holocaust is named Holocaust remembrance. Could we find a suitable name for this article? /Yvwv (talk) 11:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if we have enough regular contributors editing destinations in Northern Ireland and Ireland to be confident of producing balanced correctly nuanced coverage of a sensitive area of recent history. It would be better to cover a longer period from the w:Easter Rising (or earlier) to the w:Good Friday Agreement. The events of 1916 in Dublin are more easily viewed as history than the bombing in Omagh in 1998. AlasdairW (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A broader topic as you outlined would be fine, and segments of it could always be spun off whenever it gets long. In terms of nomenclature, though, if the topic on the Holocaust didn't have the word "remembrance" in it, we could easily use the phrase "Nazi Holocaust", but in this case, "The" is always used and "Troubles" wouldn't make sense. So per ttcf and as an exception like The Hague, we should use "The" in the title if we go with this topic. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's way too broad a topic for an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is, but could be broken down, written in pieces by authors who know some specific theme (such as the mentioned salsa article); Dancing could be more or less an index (like Winter sports, covering some themes that don't warrant or don't have their own article). I assume Argentinian tango and some other specific genres would be worthwhile articles. What about the ballroom dances (and similar pair dances) as social dancing? Are those danced commonly enough around the (Western?) world that one might want to check on them before some kinds of travel (such as if you prefer a dance restaurant over disco, or are going to attend a wedding)? Cf Finland#Social dancing. Folk dances are too region-specific in general, but some have got international attention (we had a American square dance course in my tiny, not dance-oriented, student club). –LPfi (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rhythm and blues, soul music, blues - sites related to popular music history from the 1950s to today. (Rock and roll and Jazz were created in 2018.)
  • Roller sport/Roller sports/Skateboarding/Roller skating
  • Sailing (Sailing ships?) - I changed the redirect into a disambiguation page, but noticed we have nothing on sailing in the spirit of Sail Training International or Tall Ships' Races, and neither about the many smaller sailing ships providing commercial cruises of a day or a few (or longer, but without typical cruise ship amenities), hopefully with real sailing. I think those three could be handled in the article, with links to Cruise ships and Cruising on small craft for most of the rest.
  • Samba
  • Sepak takraw - big sport in Southeast Asia (w:Sepak takraw)
  • Fan conventions / science fiction conventions, etc – the main topic conventions (and convention planning) also redlinks.

  • Sumo
  • Tennis: A sport that is both played and watched on holiday
  • Travel selfies/selfies: As a subtopic of travel photography. A key component of travel among the social media generation.
    Is it taking selfies that is the main point, or should it be about cameras of smart phones and similar, in the same way as full systems are handled in their own article? If the former it should perhaps rather be part of a series about choosing how to compose your photos: how do you make your image of the Notre-Dame interesting – with the cathedral as a selfie background or otherwise.
    Good points. I was thinking of two things when I proposed this. 1. taking a high quality selfie - what background you should have, how you should take it including the angle, zoom, poses, etc. but also the tools so which smartphone or proper camera (I think modern cameras have selfie modes) and selfie sticks/drones. And 2. the safety issues with taking selfies, since there are sadly stupid people who put themselves in dangerous situations like standing at an edge of a cliff. I was thinking of a similar article to wildlife photography. These were some articles I found on other sites although some of theses article talk about taking photos when you're alone which overlaps but is not the same thing. Gizza (roam) 00:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Learn

edit
  • Learning a language abroad — some overlap with—or maybe a subsection of—Studying abroad...this section would cover how to find good language programs, types of programs, length and advantages/disadvantages of length of study. It should also discuss pure language programs versus combining language studies/exercise with work, other studies (e.g. exchange programs) or vacation activities and how prior knowledge of the language influences the choices. Previously attempted at language tourism, which currently points to a single paragraph of travel activities.
  • Erasmus – a European study exchange programme, the major one for Europeans wanting to study abroad. The article could cover the European higher education system as harmonized in the Bologna process, perhaps with a name such as Studying in Europe.

Work

edit
  • Working holiday — currently redirects to one section of working abroad. Should cover the various work-holiday schemes available in countries like E.U., Australia, NZ, US. We have gap year travel, which may overlap slightly. There are many pitfalls by which itinerant workers may be exploited abroad.
  • WWOOFing — "Willing workers on organic farms", the WWOOF page is a redirect (after vfd discussion). There is a brief mention in Volunteer travel and a good article about agrotourism in general, but no topic page specifically about working on farms.
WWOOF is just one network or organisation; why limit this? We have working abroad but not an article specific to working on farms. The Australian backpacker visa programme, for instance, is worth at least a mention. K7L (talk) 00:50, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed in the travellers pub, there are a number of centers globally which are places specifically known for their connection with fashion. An article about buying a Kimono is already present. I've put this under Buy as I felt that this would be where the focus of a topic would be. There may be some overlap with See/Do, given that a topic on Fashion could also cover Costume History.

  • Wool - traditional craft of woolen clothing, and exclusive fabrics such as merino, alpaca and camel hair
  • Watches - Where to buy expensive watches; watches good for different purposes (sport watches, cheap generic watches which can be afford to be lost), risks of carrying pirate watches through customs
  • Records and audio equipment - Vinyl records, vintage audio systems, as well as modern Bluetooth equipment; some connection with music, nostalgia, art and antiques shopping and electrical systems
  • Vehicle import - Some car makers have setups for private car imports to evade tariffs. A one-way roadtrip, selling the car and flying home can be a good setup in some cases
    Isn't this too much of a gamble? If it is a viable method to get a cheap car for your voyage, it would probably be OK, but if you have to read up on loopholes in import law and forecast selling prices, making a big loss if something unanticipated happen, then I don't think it is a thing for a travel guide. And if we are into the grey area of legality (by your being a nominal but not real buyer and seller), then our illegal activities guideline may apply. –LPfi (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we should have an article on importing a car to sell. It would have to be written on the basis that you declare the import at customs and pay the taxes, which is unlikely to yield much profit even if a buyer has already paid you in advance. It would have to be written on the basis of the traveller going to buy a car for their own use. This could also apply to buying a second-hand car - friends have travelled 200 miles to another city to buy a car because the prices are lower there, and in a more extreme example some older Japanese cars are exported to New Zealand. Are the laws on vehicle importation consistent enough around the world for this us to be able to offer useful advice? AlasdairW (talk) 16:57, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a fast food in North America article which list out the fast food joints, which are a modern equivalent to a "roadside diner". A number of these North American fast food restaurants have an international presence outside of North America too.

Cuisine articles by country or supra-national region, as these are probably what travellers look for:

  • Isn't Middle Eastern cuisine largely an extension of Turkish cuisine? Of course, there are regional cuisines in Turkey. I'd suggest increasing coverage of Turkish food in the Middle Eastern cuisine article and then thinking about spinning off a separate article if that seems most user-friendly.

@Ikan Kekek: I don't know who invented it first, but it is part of both traditional Hokkien and Teochew cuisines. Sorry, these videos are in Chinese, but just to give you a visual reference, here's a video of the traditional Hokkien version they sell in Xiamen (The traditional Hokkien version has its own variants in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Zhao'an that differ significantly from the Xiamen variant as well), and here's a video of the traditional Teochew version they sell in Shantou. And speaking of the Teochew version, there's a variant you can get in Bangkok Chinatown as well. If you pay attention, they're all quite different from the Taiwanese, Malaysian and Singaporean versions. The dog2 (talk) 17:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: In my opinion, it would make the most sense to create a Travelling on a diet article with sections that cover different types of diets. Selfie City (talk) 01:45, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We already have a dedicated article on Kashrut, so what kinds of diets are being subsumed here? A keto diet such as I am on is for health, but celiac folks absolutely cannot have gluten in even one meal without getting violently ill, so the urgency of the diet is different. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:10, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think Kashrut/kosher is an exception; the number of people on the diet justifies the article's existence. It would be interesting to find statistics comparing how many people are on each diet so we can get an idea about which would be the most useful to the traveler. Selfie City (talk) 01:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think any special diet would make a good article. If you're one of 100 people in the world who has to follow an oregano-free diet, and you find the article on travelling without coming in contact with oregano in Wikivoyage (don't go to Italy), you'd be pretty happy. Ground Zero (talk) 03:43, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you were able to expand it to include other controlled carbohydrate diets the appeal of the article would be widened, at least until we get a Travelling with Diabetes article.

1) Ideally we would cover all three of them. Some information for the Lower Post Road might be adapted from the US Route 1 article, but we'd want to place special emphasis on the Colonial- and Revolutionary-era historical relics you'll see along the way, rather than merely giving a generalized description of the route.
2) How is an article like US Route 1 allowable per policy anyway? We're not supposed to have articles on roads, and US-1 not particularly well-known as a tourist itinerary in its own right, like Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway are.
-- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 04:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why not? Driving on Route 1 gives the driver and passenger an experience of what a main road used to be like around 60-100 years ago. You drive through a lot of centers of towns, and also through countryside and old-fashioned strip malls - some of them in the center of the highway in New Jersey.

  • Amtrak Coast Starlight Train (w:Coast Starlight) runs once daily from Seattle to Los Angeles and vice versa. There is already an existing Amtrak Cascades article which lists the stations served by the Amtrak Cascades from Vancouver BC to Eugene OR. The Amtrak Coast Starlight runs concurrent with the Cascades from Seattle to Eugene with the same stops, except Tukwila, WA and Oregon City. The Coast Starlight continues towards Los Angeles from Eugene OR via Chemult and Klamath Falls, Oregon (also listed in the Cascaades article) before crossing into California. In California the Coast Starlight runs concurrent with the Capitol Corridor to San Jose and with the San Jaoquins trains to Oakland from Sacramento; and with the Pacific Surfliner train from San Luis Obisbo to Los Angeles with the same stops. The other Amtrak California trains make more stops, on a more frequent schedule, than the Coast Starlight along the shared route. The Pacific Surfliner train continues this route from Los Angeles to San Diego. Locally, it also share the same route with Sound Transit's Sounder commuter train from Everett WA to Seattle to Lakewood, WA in Washington State; from Oxnard, CA to Oceanside (via Los Angeles) with Metrolink; and the Coaster train connecting Oceanside to San Diego in southern California. Therefore, this new article can be done by adding upon the existing Amtrak Cascades article by changing the title, headers and pictures; change some of the wording to include information about train travel in California, and list out the California stations from Dunsmuir, CA to Los Angeles or to San Diego which would include the other Amtrak California trains running along the shared segments of the route as well.

I'm pretty sure most sailors that go around the globe don't try to replicate Magellan's and Elcano's voyage exactly but instead want to take a more optimal route and/or visit more places on the beaten path. Likewise, I believe most travelers interested in this trip lack the time, skills and/or resources to travel it by sailing boat. Therefore: it's not the right article to redirect circumnavigation to. Round the world overland is a much better alternative, although circumnavigation could certainly merit its own article if we eventually get a contributor that knows about the subject (long distance sailing is not that uncommon). --ϒpsilon (talk) 11:58, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
