Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates
Here we determine which articles are featured on the Main Page as Destination of the month (DotM), Off the Beaten Path (OtBP) and Featured travel topics (FTT).
Nominate
editYou can nominate any article you would like to see featured. Any destination, region, itinerary or event that passes the "What is an article?" test is eligible for nomination.
However, before nominating, please check that the article follows these basic guidelines:
- The nominated article should have an article status of guide or star. This includes having at least one good picture, and listings/headers/etc. that match our manual of style.
- The nominated article must not have been featured since Wikivoyage became a WMF project in 2013.
- If the article has been nominated previously but failed, any objections should be addressed before nominating it again.
- Check the slush pile.
- If you think a once-slushed destination is now ready to go, list it as new, but with a pointer to the slush pile entry.
- The article should preferably be nominated 3 to 12 months before the intended feature date; ready to feature as is, or with edits that can be done well before featuring.
Well-known and/or popular destinations should be nominated as Destination of the Month, while more obscure destinations should be nominated for Off the Beaten Path. Featured Travel Topic includes travel topics, phrasebooks, itineraries, and other articles not part of the geographic hierarchy, as well as airports (as they are not usually destinations in their own right). Where applicable, you should propose a good time to visit the destination as a month to be featured.
The basic format of a nomination is as follows:
{{FeatureNom
| place=Destination
| blurb='''[[Destination]]''' is a place of contrasts, and as such it...
| status=Guide
| time=March-June
| nominatedBy=~~~~
| comment=Great article and it's just luvvly-jubbly in the springtime.
| DotMImage=[[File:Destinationimage.jpg|thumb|300px]]
}}
Add a nomination to the end of the appropriate section.
Discuss
editYou can comment on any nomination based on timeliness and adherence to the criteria above, just add a bullet point (*) and your signed opinion.
===[[Destination]]===
Great article and it's just luvvly-jubbly in the springtime. TravelNut 25:25, 31 Feb 2525 (UTC)
* Looks nice, but shouldn't the Do section contain more than just quilting contests? ~~~~
Please note that the following are not considered valid reasons to oppose a nomination:
- "I don't like it." All objections have to be based on the guidelines above: poor formatting, missing information, etc. Personal opinions, dislikes, etc. do not count.
- "Wrong time of year." Articles are supported or opposed based on their content. Timing can be worked out later.
- "Wrong type of place." Articles are supported or opposed based on their content. Whether it's DotM or OtBP can be worked out later.
Select
editIf an article gets several comments in favor and none against for a week or so, it's eligible to be placed in an appropriate time-slot in the Upcoming queue. If the objections are relatively minor and are being worked on, add them to the Upcoming queue tentatively (add a question mark "?" after the article). Feel free to move the queue around or swap articles if it makes sense. If a nomination clearly does not make the grade and if the objections are not easily fixable, they go into the Slush pile.
Once a nomination has been scheduled, an appropriate banner image and text blurb must be selected. Go to Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Banners to start that discussion.
Archive
editDiscussions for previously selected destinations are kept in the Archive.
Upcoming
editSchedule
editThe following queue should contain about the next few months' worth of upcoming destinations. Note that new DotMs are rotated in on the 1st of each month, OtBPs on the 11th and travel topics on the 21st.
Month | DotM | OtBP | FTT |
---|---|---|---|
October 2024 | La Tremblade – pending stronger consensus to support | Ohlone Wilderness Trail – pending fixes (?) and stronger consensus to support | |
November 2024 | Perth – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | Presidente Prudente – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | Western food in Asia |
December 2024 | Manama – pending (fixes? and) stronger consensus to support | Yarrangobilly Caves – pending stronger consensus to support | Churches in Antarctica – pending stronger consensus to support |
January 2025 | Medan – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | El Hierro – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/MV Aster – pending stronger consensus to support |
February 2025 | Recife – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | Tezpur – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support | Serbian phrasebook – pending fixes and stronger consensus to support |
March 2025 | El Gouna – pending stronger consensus to support | Sekigahara – pending fixes | Jewish Stockholm tour – pending stronger consensus to support |
Try to avoid two overlapping or back-to-back features from the same country, as well as long streaks of features from the same continent. It is customary to wait 24 months between articles from the same or nearby cities.
The schedule is not cast in stone. However, any change made to the schedule should have a compelling reason behind it, and should be effected as far in advance as possible of the article's scheduled term on the Main Page. In particular, unless absolutely necessary, we discourage nominee articles from being slushed or rescheduled after banners have been made for them, which usually happens 2–3 months before being featured.
Whenever an article becomes a current feature, it should be removed from the list, the discussion archived, and (when changing out Featured Travel Topics) a new month added to the end of the queue.
Next changes
editDecisions regarding which images to use as the banners are made at Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Banners.
The section below provides an opportunity to see what the upcoming featured articles will look like on the Main Page using the banners that are currently most popular on the above page.
Updating
editOn the date of the scheduled change, the DotM, OtBP, or FTT should be changed as close to midnight UTC as possible. This can only be done by administrators. When the featured page is changed, please follow the following procedures to do so and archive content to the appropriate pages. At each stage, please double-check that you are correctly moving content. Several steps involves copy pasting of the file names of the Main Page banners – former, current, and next – so it can be useful to open those in tabs first.
- Update the featured articles on the main page by replacing the current 'banner' template section with those of the appropriate banner for the new DotM/OtBP/FTT found in the Next change section above.
- Update the Photo credits page with the banner's original image, title and attribution.
- Add the former featured article to the appropriate archive page: Previous Destinations of the month, Previously Off the beaten path, or Previous Featured travel topics.
- Remove Template:Featurenomination from newly featured article.
- For the former featured article, add the appropriate parameter to the pagebanner template (directly after the image filename) to label the page as having been featured previously.
- For former DotMs, add: |dotm=yes
- For former OtBPs, add: |otbp=yes
- For former FTTs, add: |ftt=yes
- Archive the newly featured article's nomination. Simply cut-and-paste the nomination section of the newly featured article from this page to Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Archive.
- Update the Next change section above by adding the banner from the discussion page. View the table in the Schedule section above to determine what next month's change will be, then update the image and blurb in the "Next change" section with that found in the upcoming featured article's nomination.
- In the schedule, use <s> and </s> to strikethrough the newly featured article. Remove the row from the table if the newly featured article is the FTT.
- Archive the newly featured article's banner by cutting-and-pasting all banner suggestions and the associated discussion into Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Banners/Archive.

- Almost per nomination. --Ypsilon (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't had the chance to properly read through the article, but it might be a good idea to solicit the opinion of @Graham87:, who has previously lived in Perth. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 09:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd prefer not to deal with this, honestly, unless there are very specific questions that require local input. I don't know Perth that well from the average traveller's perspective, especially these days. Graham87 (talk) 11:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- One other thing I noticed is that the static maps look horrendous (no offense, sorry). I can't tell which goes where, with several major freeways like the Tonkin Hwy missing. I can't do much since I've never been to Perth, though. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 03:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

- Almost – as the person who started and wrote much of the article, thanks for the nomination! I might add some geolines to it (am familiar with the trails), but I can't see anything much missing from when I was there. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support Can't see anything that would prevent this from being an OtBP. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 12:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support Article looks good & the site is important. Pashley (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support The article is good. Having visited once, I can attest that the historical sites are really not geared for English-speaking visitors, but the article doesn't pretend otherwise and it's fine for a mildly interesting day trip. Jpatokal (talk) 06:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support. Well, if there are few places to eat and drink and sleep, we can't list any more than there actually is :). I think we should run the Sekigahara in October for the re-enactment of the battle as we will probably already have one Japanese feature sometime next spring (Public baths in Japan as FTT). --Ypsilon (talk) 08:50, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not Yet With zero "Eat" or "Buy" listings, this article has not earned guide status. We should not be saying things like "some decent restaurants and cafes opened both in the battlefield and around the station". Instead, those restaurants and cafes should be given listings. Sekigahara's website shows that the city has numerous restaurants. Similarly "souvenir shops around town" should be given listings. Other encampments should also be given listings. They will not overwhelm the article and they provide deeper understanding of the battle, especially in an article that says you won't understand if you don't speak Japanese. The article also doesn't list much outside of the battlefield. No War Land? No cave? No mention of the Nakasendo post town (Sekigahara-juku)? How about the opportunity to don samurai outfits? I have been to Sekigahara numerous times. It wasn't really on my radar to edit, but maybe I can try adding things here and there to get it up to standard. ChubbyWimbus (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Better to run it in the spring, then, if there's content that needs to be added to the article. --Ypsilon (talk) 07:51, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Place: Khujand |

- Comment - I'd imagine a city of almost 200,000 inhabitants would have a few more places to Drink and Sleep worth listing? --Ypsilon (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I was going to say something similar to Ypsi – surely a city of that size has more establishments than what's on the page as of typing this? --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 23:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have been living in Khujand since Aug 2023, and there is one bar and only three reputable hotels, which are all listed. There do exist a few other businesses that brand themselves as being "hotels", but I have not been able to verify their quality or any other important information about them. There is one bar in town, and even then it's more for hookah than for alcohol. Tuyuhun (talk) 01:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I see, in that case I support. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 01:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I went and added the few other hotels that I know of that I could find information for online. I also broke it down into "Budget and Mid-range" and "Splurge" subsections. Tuyuhun (talk) 02:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- One thing, though: given this is TJ's second-largest city, wouldn't this be better suited as a DotM? --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 23:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think it could be either - Central Asia as a whole is very much a "forgotten" part of the world (at least by Anglophone travelers) so imo it would probably be at about the same level of notoriety as a place like Zinder or Taos - known to a decent number of travelers, but nowhere near the numbers that somewhere like Recife or Harbin are known. But if the consensus is that it's better as a DotM, then that works. Tuyuhun (talk) 04:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- My thing by doing so is we're being extremely ethnocentric by only catering for Anglophone countries (enwikivoyage has evolved into catering for pretty much everyone given how lackluster most other voy projects are barring de and itwikivoyage). But I also wouldn't object it being an OtBP if that's what consensus goes with. SHB2000 (t | c | m) 10:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Are the sights crowded with tourists? If so, DotM would suit better. But if there aren't many tourists, even if the city is comparably well-known, then OtBP feels alright. –LPfi (talk) 13:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe, but it feels incredibly wrong to feature Arches National Park, Glacier National Park (Montana), and Milford Sound as DotMs but not this. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 13:57, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Having lived there, I can say with relative certainty that it is NOT a hyper-touristy destination. We didn't start to get tourists until the end of spring (partly because only a
stupidmasochistic person goes hiking in Tajikistan's mountains in the winter and partly because that's when the Central Asian/Silk Road package tours start running). All of the national parks SHB2000 listed get more tourists and have more name recognition than Khujand. My vote is for OtBP. Tuyuhun (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)- We also need to update the banner since there has been an uptick in construction on the north side of the river; I tried earlier and it didn't work. Tuyuhun (talk) 20:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Nominations for Featured travel topic
edit
Place: Churches in Antarctica As to the article itself, I realise this is a bit of a niche topic and no traveller visits Antarctica for its churches (unless they're a part of a maintenance crew or something alike) and also somewhat overgeneralised, Wikivoyage attracts many armchair travellers and thanks to the excellent work of Grahamsands, this is a good armchair article, in my opinion. |

- Comment: We have plenty of travel topics nominated, and the travel topics have potential for new articles, with itineraries, and thematic articles such as these. Shall we allow geographic travel topics to run as DoTM and OtBP? /Yvwv (talk) 14:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- If the alternative is to run a destination article that hasn't been updated since before the pandemic, I think such flexibility is preferable. Otherwise, probably not. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'd be open to featuring this in Off the beaten path, because it doesn't get much more OtBP than this. Jpatokal (talk) 02:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

- Neutral lacks a mapline/geoline which has become somewhat standard for featured articles albeit unwritten. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 08:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Sorry I didn't respond to this one earlier. I wrote this article some time ago, and before featuring it, I would like to reread it and proofread it. I would note that my knowledge of the route is limited as although I've hiked some parts of the route, I have never hiked its entirety. I will get to reviewing these things as soon as I can. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 01:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- @SelfieCity: By any chance, if you get the time, could you also add a geoline using geojson.io? There's a little (somewhat wordy) tutorial here. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:02, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I will take a look at this, although I have to say this would be the first time I would try geojson. I don't think I have time currently, but in a couple months I should have time to create the mapline. It's definitely a helpful resource for an itinerary, so I agree it would be great to have. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 16:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Worst case scenario, you can draw the route geojson.io and paste the code on User:SHB2000/Ohlone Wilderness Trail (yes, in my userspace) and I'll handle it from there. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 20:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Actually, I just discovered that the dynamic map already contains the trail, it appears on the dynamic map when you open its menu (in the upper right corner) and tick the "Hiking" box. Is there some way to have it displayed on the map by default, that'd probably be faster than drawing/coding the trail from scratch? --Ypsilon (talk) 10:54, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- My understanding is that geolines have never been a requirement for featuring. However, I agree that they make hiking itinerary articles better, so I have connected the relevant Wikidata item with OpenStreetMap and added a mapshape template to the article. Assuming I've done it correctly, once everything has had a chance to sync we should hopefully see the geoline in the article's map. —Granger (talk · contribs) 15:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's more time-effective than drawing it from scratch and hosting it locally. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would want some more information about what you can expect from the campsites and whether there are some facilities along the route. If this is clear for locals, the info should go into some hiking/park travel topic, and that article should be referenced for the info. –LPfi (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I agree more information is needed about the campsites. Do they have potable water? Non-potable water? Toilets of any kind? Are campfires allowed? If so, are there permanent firepits, and is there a feasible way to obtain firewood? Which ones require reservations, and how can they be reserved? Maybe SelfieCity can help clarify. —Granger (talk · contribs) 04:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Close - otherwise the article looks good, but the redlinks need to be dealt with (turned into redirects or articles, preferably with the baths listed). Also, as Jani said, I think the content of the Toilets section should be merged into Japan#Toilets. --Ypsilon (talk) 09:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've merged the Toilets section back to the main page and commented out the redlinks for now, many of which are quite obscure; about the only name I recognized was Unzen. Jpatokal (talk) 06:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

As YVR is going on the Main Page next spring, this will probably have to sit around here on the nominations page for a while as we don't want to run similar articles (in this case airport articles) too close to each other in the schedule... --Ypsilon (talk) 19:58, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support - Interesting and somewhat unexpected topic; I would never have guessed there'd be so much of Jewish heritage in Stockholm to create a whole article. For the scheduling, I remember saying earlier that I planned to nominate Gothenburg for some summer month next summer, meaning it'd be better to run this during either of the holidays you mentioned - why not right away at the Pesach (March's FTT slot - if readers are worried about the weather they can postpone their visit a couple of months)? --Ypsilon (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per above. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 22:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Some Jewish sites (in particular the cemeteries) are too far from the main route to serve as useful waypoints, though still mentioned in the article. Several of the waypoints (statues of kings etc) don't have a direct connection to Swedish Jews, but instead serve as proxies for important events in Jewish history. As mentioned, Swedish Empire (with emphasis on Stockholm) featured May-June 2023, giving 22 months cooldown before May-April 2025 (24 months have been recommended), and we would wait until 2027 to feature another Stockholm-based article (Södermalm heights tour, Stockholm environmentalist tour or Haunted Stockholm tour might be considered). /Yvwv (talk) 19:56, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Needs work – in particular, the § Museums section which is lacking many details and coordinates. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 00:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- The museums now have coordinates (they already had links to the listings, from where I got the coords), and the collections and gems have wikidata links (except the Three Treasures, which don't seem to have an article in Wikipedia in English). They have descriptions; what more details would be needed? –LPfi (talk) 07:12, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
