Wikivoyage:Cooperating with Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a wiki-based online encyclopedia project started in 2001. Wikivoyage and Wikipedia are sister projects that are both run from servers owned by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Guide for Wikipedians
We have a special Welcome, Wikipedians page to introduce our project to people familiar with Wikipedia.

Sharing content
Many of the contributions to any language version of Wikipedia may be re-used on Wikivoyage, thanks to the fact that the content on both sites works under the same copyleft license.

Am I free to take anything from Wikipedia and post it on Wikivoyage?
While sharing text between the two projects is legal provided the text is properly attributed, because the goals of the projects differ it is not a practice that is encouraged. Copying large blocks of text, or failing to properly attribute anything taken from Wikipedia, will usually result in the edit being reverted. Some specific guidelines:

 * 1) Copied text MUST be properly attributed. When copying text from Wikipedia (or any other CC-SA site) you must provide attribution to the original authors. Attribution is generally provided by pasting the URL for the source article version (see below) into the "edit summary" box, and/or you can use the wikipedia template. It is a violation of the CC-SA license to copy text from Wikipedia without providing attribution, so be absolutely sure that attribution is provided.
 * 2) Wikivoyage is not an encyclopedia. Since the goals of the two projects are very different, in most cases copying text from Wikipedia to Wikivoyage is not appropriate. In some cases it may make sense to distill portions of a Wikipedia article into a few paragraphs that can be included in a Wikivoyage "Understand" section, but copying more than that is probably too much. Before you copy and paste it to Wikivoyage, read it through and see if the information really is useful for a traveller. When in doubt – leave it out, and let readers follow the article's wiki link to Wikipedia if they want more background information. In any case slight (or not so slight) rewriting is probably better than direct copying.

Text
If you post text from Wikipedia on Wikivoyage, you should paste the full URL of the Wikipedia article revision being copied into the edit summary box (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Article_name&oldid=605001532; this permanent link can be found in the tool box in the left margin of the article, or in the revision history), and you are required to post a specific template on the talk page of the guide on Wikivoyage. The template should go at the very top of the talk page and may not be removed (unless the Wikipedia content is removed from Wikivoyage, that is). Add the template according to the instructions here. This way, you attribute the contributors who participated to the work on Wikipedia. Please note that if you want to copy something from Wikipedia (in your language version) to Wikivoyage in the same language (if there is one), you have to create a template in the actual language. Use the template provided here and translate it.

Remember that Wikivoyage, even if it is a Wikimedia Foundation web site, also is a project wholly independent from Wikipedia, and one of our principal goals is to enrich the world through that ever elusive online original content. Copy-pasting blocks of text from Wikipedia is very much discouraged, is heavily penalised by search engines and will often be reverted. The best use of text from Wikipedia (or any other source with a compatible Creative Commons license or Public Domain status) is when you are having a mental block and grab phrasing from elsewhere.

Illustrations
If you want to post a Wikipedia illustration of some kind in a Wikivoyage guide, you do not have to use the template. Instead, just use the same file link, as Wikivoyage uses Wikimedia Commons for most of its images just like Wikipedia does. Some images, however, are uploaded locally on English Wikipedia. These have to be reuploaded on Wikimedia Commons or Wikivoyage. The reason for local uploads may be that the image has copyright restrictions that prohibit upload to Commons; if there is a fair use template on the image description page on Wikipedia, it probably cannot be used.

Links to Wikipedia

 * Main article: Links to Wikipedia

When to link
Linking to Wikipedia allows people to access encyclopedic information that doesn't fit into the framework of a travel guide. For example, the entry on the United Kingdom should have a thumbnail sketch of the country's history, but detailed information on Henry VIII is inappropriate. A link to Wikipedia's UK article would allow readers to find non-travel related information about their destination of choice, without stretching Wikivoyage beyond recognition into an "everything you need to know about everything" guide. However, don't use links as an excuse to be lazy. Wikivoyage entries should be useful and self-contained; links should provide additional information. Writing "Everything you need to know about France is here, except that there's a good bagel place in Lyon" is not helpful.

How to link
If there's a page on Wikipedia that covers exactly the same subject as a page on Wikivoyage you can link to it.

Wikidata is the usual mechanism to link articles on the same topic across multiple languages of Wikipedia, Wikivoyage or other Wikimedia projects. Each article may be associated with only one Wikidata item. Easiest method is to click on the Wikidata item link in the sidebar of the Wikipedia article and add the Wikivoyage article name in the Wikivoyage section using en and the language code.

If there is no direct equivalent article Wikipedia but it would be useful to reference one or more Wikipedia pages then the RelatedWikipedia template can be used.

As an alternative, on Wikivoyage, you can simply place:

near the end of the article, where article name is the name of the Wikipedia article you are linking to.

See the draft proposal Sister project links for more details.

Templates
You can link to Wikipedia (and Wikidata) using the relevant parameter(s) in the listing template (or any of the templates which are a wrapper for listing, such as see and do).

Linking from Wikipedia

 * Main article: Links from Wikipedia

If there's a page on Wikipedia that covers exactly the same subject as a page on Wikivoyage, you can link from it to Wikivoyage. A Wikidata link will generate an "other projects" link in both directions. On Wikipedia, you can simply follow the instructions in w:Template:Wikivoyage or in w:Template:Sister_project_links, to place a box with a link back to Wikivoyage from the Wikipedia article.

Links in Wikipedia not only assist readers to get directly to Wikivoyage, they also promote Wikivoyage by improving its ranking in search engines. When search engines index Wikipedia pages containing the Wikivoyage template, they see the direct link to the Wikivoyage article, not the template code.

Specific projects
There are always various projects in the works at Wikipedia, similar to Wikivoyage's concept of Expeditions. Some of these could be used by both Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. See, for example, the work being done on maps.

Importing articles from Wikipedia
Articles may be imported from Wikipedia by an administrator using the "transwiki" process. This process can be executed from this page: Special:Import — select "w" to import from Wikipedia.

The transwiki process should be used where a Wikipedia article is appropriate for use in a Wikivoyage article. The transwiki process imports the edit history of the Wikipedia article into Wikivoyage to ensure appropriate attribution of the content.

Wikipedia identifies candidate articles for transwikiing on this page: w:Category:Copy to Wikivoyage. Articles must meet Wikivoyage standards for content to be eligible for being imported — many articles identified by Wikipedians are not appropriate for Wikivoyage and should not be imported.

Articles imported from Wikipedia must be adapted for Wikivoyage within a reasonable time or they may be deleted. This includes formatting and content changes. In particular, details that may be appropriate for encyclopedia should be removed to focus the article on information that travellers need. The text should be modified to reflect the more informal wv:tone used in Wikivoyage. All references should be removed, along with wiki markup not used in Wikivoyage.

The person importing the article should remove the "Copy to Wikivoyage" tag from the Wikipedia article.

Wikivoyage:Cooperating with Wikia Travel

Wikia Travel is a wiki whose goal is to create a new travel guide. It is currently hosted by Wikia, Inc. However, there is more advertising than content on Wikia Travel now and content writing activity there is very little. It may have stagnated. (statistics and recent changes)

Overlap
While there is clearly some overlap, there seems to be an ongoing conversation regarding the nature/goal of World Wiki (is it about "travel" or about "places"), but there are clearly going to be overlaps as well as differences that may allow cooperation.

Sharing content
Wikia Travel and Wikivoyage both use the same CC-BY-SA licence, so it should be possible to copy information between the two if it is properly attributed.

Wikivoyage:Copyright-related issues

These are some copyright-related issues that Wikivoyagers should know about incorporating other people's work into Wikivoyage. Note that most Wikivoyagers are not lawyers; those that are probably practice in a country or jurisdiction far from you. If you need legal advice, contact a lawyer near you.

Information vs. representation
In general, it's not possible to copyright information itself – just the expression of that information. For example, someone can copyright the statement "The Foofaraw Hotel, at 117 Blurbaw Street in the Carabiner District, has rooms for $50–$100 including breakfast and in-room television." But the essential facts in that sentence – that a hotel named Foofaraw exists, where it's located, and what its prices are – can be used by anyone. Even a false or fictitious fact cannot be copyrighted.

Wikivoyage can contain information about hotels, restaurants, bars, and sights that are in other travel guides already. However, we need to express that information differently, and not just copy it out of a book somewhere. It's best to get the information first-hand to make sure it's true and reliable; at the least we should fact-check the information in other guides.

The selection and organization of data can be copyrighted, too. So listing the same 18 hotels in a city that another travel guide lists will be at least suspicious, if not cause for alarm. In general, we avoid leaning on other travel guides for their information.

The public domain
Certain expression is not copyrighted by anyone; this information is in the public domain. Anyone can use it, copy it, or incorporate it into copyrighted works. In general, works are in the public domain if they're so old that the terms of their copyright has lapsed, or if they were created by government employees or officials (depending on the jurisdiction).

Some public domain works are useful for incorporation into Wikivoyage, but most are not. A travel guidebook from 1894 is not going to have all that much information relevant for today's travellers, and will probably be in an offputting archaic style. Information put out by government officials will probably also not be terribly useful.

Fair use
There is a principle in the copyright law of the US and many other countries that allows incorporation of copyrighted works into other works. This principle is called fair use; among other things, it allows adding short quotes and excerpts from other works into our own.

However, fair use is contingent on the type of person or party reusing a work, and their intention. It may in fact be "fair use" for us to incorporate a picture, text, or other copyrighted expression into Wikivoyage for use on wikivoyage.org, but it would not be fair for readers to use that same picture in works they derive from Wikivoyage. The great benefit of having a free travel guide is lost if people aren't really free to use and reuse our articles.

Therefore, fair use in Wikivoyage of works from other sources, with the exception of short quotes or excerpts of text, is not acceptable.

Wikivoyage:Country article template

''Country articles contain links to regions within the country as well as general information about travel in that country. Particular travel information is left up to city articles, which contain the details of addresses, phone numbers, reviews, directions, etc. for attraction, restaurants, hotels, and the like. Country articles give travellers the background information they need to understand city articles.''

''There should be little need to create new country articles, because every country and dependent territory as of June 2002 has had an article created for it. If a region breaks off from a country, there's probably already an article for that region, which can usually be converted to a "country" article easily enough. It's happened, and we've done it. But you never know.''

''To quickly insert a complete blank country template, you can copy-and-paste the Quick country article template or just add to the page and save. ''

''Stuff in italics below is editorial comment, with suggestions for what should go in each section. You should plan on ruthlessly eliminating it if you copy this code to a new country article.'' -- ''The first section of the country article does not have a heading. This is the place for rhetorical flourish, not a list of dry facts; try to leave detailed information on history, culture, etc, for the Understand section. While some identifying information about the country can be useful (so that the traveller has some idea what you're talking about), the main purpose of the lead paragraph is to hook the reader's interest.''

Regions
''Most countries can and should be divided into smaller areas, called "regions", with articles about each region giving more detailed information. This helps us deal with large or complex countries. Instead of listing 10,000 cities on the United States of America country article, for example, we have 13 regions (New England, The Southwest, etc.), most of which contain a number of states, each of which may have its own regions, and so on down to the cities, each of which has (or will have) its own guide.''

''Try to divide up a country into traditional or well-agreed regions, according to the guidelines on the geographical hierarchy page. List them here, with links to the article pages for each region, and a short description of the region to give travelers some idea of what the region is about. If a country is so small or so unpopulated that it doesn't really need to be divided into regions, leave this section out.''

If the country's regions have specific names ("county", "state", "province", "canton", etc.) feel free to change the name of this header to "Counties", "States", etc. Remember, though, that legal divisions don't always make the best divisions for a travel guide.

 * The South - warm and dry
 * The North - cool and wet
 * The Coast - beaches, great seafood
 * Inland - agriculture and friendly people

Cities
''Some countries are so small that they only have a few cities; you can simply list them here, rather than making up regions for it. Alternately, most countries that are large enough to have regions also have a handful of cities that are well-known to foreigners. Often these cities are better known than the region they're in -- say, Los Angeles in Southern California -- so it can be tedious for travelers to traverse through a lot of articles to find the city they're looking for. Don't list every single city in the country! When listing cities place the capital first and alphabetically list the other cities, of which there should be a maximum of nine (including the capital). If there are no prominent cities in the country, this section can be omitted.''

 * Capital city - industrial port city but a good starting point
 * City A - fun and funky, great nightlife
 * City B - warm beaches and slow lifestyle
 * City C - ancient castles and inspiring museums

Other destinations
''Sometimes a country has destinations that aren't really cities; for example, large national parks like the Grand Canyon, or archaeological sites like Borobudur. These should usually be listed on the region page for the region they're in, but for especially prominent ones you can also list them separately here, with descriptions. List them alphabetically, and there should be a maximum of nine listings. If there are no prominent other destinations in a country, leave out this section.''

 * Park 1 - incredible mountainous park, great hiking
 * Park 2 - great rock formations and wildlife viewing
 * Ruins 1 - amazing ruins of an ancient civilization

Understand
''This section of the page is where you give deeper background information about the country: its history, culture, its people or peoples, relationships to other countries, etc. Some information about present-day situations in the country that are relevant to travelers are broken out in separate sections below, so don't duplicate that information here. Also, try not to go too deeply into information about the separate cities or regions in the country, except perhaps in how they relate to each other; leave that for the region or city articles.''

Suggested subheadings include:

History
''The country's history in a nutshell. When in doubt about including a date or event, ask yourself: Is it relevant to the average traveller?''

People
''The country's major population groups and their distribution. Also include any cultural notes of major interest.''

Climate
The country's seasons (temperature and rainfall), geography and when to travel.

Holidays
''Major holidays, both those of interest to tourists (colorful festivals) and those best avoided (when everybody goes home, transport is packed and the country shuts down). Provide exact dates if possible.''

Electricity
Voltage, frequency, and outlet type.

Talk
''Describe the language or languages used in the country. How well can you get by with only English or another foreign language (French in Vietnam, for example)? Also include information about the writing system – will travellers need a bilingual map? It's often useful to link to the phrasebook for each language used. If English is the only language used in the country, you can just state that, and that should be enough.''

Get in
''Arrival overview for getting to the country. Give visa or other legal information, as well as warnings about border crossings. This may also be a good place to note contact information for embassies and consulates from this country in other nearby or English-speaking countries.''

''Below are some sections for common ways to get to a country. Try and include as many options as you can think of -- land, air, sea. Try to order the sections from the most common and convenient to the rarest and most inconvenient. If for some reason there's a common way to approach the country not listed below -- by llama, by snowmobile, by bush helicopter -- just add another section. And leave out sections that don't apply. ''

By plane
''Name large cities with international airports that make convenient entry points to the country. You can leave details about what carriers serve the airport, etc., to the city pages; this is just for an overview. If there's no international air service to the country, leave this section out.''

By train
''Name large cities with international rail service that make convenient entry points to the country. You can leave details about schedules, stations, etc., to the city pages; this is just for an overview. If there's no international rail service to the country -- say, if it's on an island -- leave this section out.''

By car
''Driving details and directions for getting to this country from adjoining ones. Name big highways and border crossings. Distances and times from large cities in other countries to large cities in this one can be helpful. If there's no way to drive to this country from the outside (for example, if it's on an island), leave this section out.''

By bus
''Name large cities with international bus service that make convenient entry points to the country. You can leave details about schedules, stations, etc., to the city pages; this is just for an overview. If there's no international bus service to the country -- say, if it's on an island -- leave this section out.''

By boat
''Name any port cities that have convenient ferry service from other countries. You can leave details about schedules, stations, etc., to the city pages; this is just for an overview. If there's no international passenger boat service to the country -- say, if it's landlocked -- leave this section out.''

List ports of entry for small boat cruisers.

Get around
''This is a spot to give general information about how to get around the country once you are there. An overview of domestic travel possibilities: air, train, and bus travel, long-distance taxis, ferries, etc. Try to keep the information general, with specifics on distances and schedules between cities in the country left to the city articles.''

See
''Describe the types of attractions that can be found in the country. List the most famous attractions in the country.''

Do
Describe the most popular things to do in the country and the best places to do each activity.

Buy
''Include here information on the currency and rough conversion rates for major currencies used by English-speaking travelers (US, Australian, Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds). If other currencies are commonly used -- either officially or on the black market -- note that, also. Give recommendations about using automatic teller machines and other ways of getting money from home.''

''You can also add information about common purchasing patterns. Is it common to bargain for products in shops? In other instances?''

What distinctive local products would make good souvenirs?

Costs
''Give rough estimates of how much one day of traveling in the country costs, in three price brackets: bare-bones backpacker travel, luxury hotels and a comfortable medium between the extremes. Note if something (accommodation, transportation etc) is particularly cheap or expensive, or if there are major regional variations.''

Tipping
''Explain the local customs for tipping. If tipping is not part of local practice, it is worth stating that too.''

Eat
''Information on country-specific food. Keep this as general as possible and save the actual restaurant business information for the city articles where the restaurants are. Do mention any general types of restaurant that travelers should look for (or avoid!). Mention national dishes, local or minority cuisines, and hints for vegetarians or other people on special diets. If there are official national dishes then please mark them out. Mention typical street food. Mention signature desserts and snacks.''

Drink
''Information on the country's bars and nightlife. As with most other country information, this as general as possible and save the actual bar or nightclub listings for the city articles where they are. You can and should mention cities or regions with especially good nightlife, or interesting musical traditions. Also give an idea of bar and club etiquette. This section is also a good place to highlight national beverages and other beverages that is typical for the country.''

Sleep
''General information on the type of accommodations (pensions, guest houses, hostels, motels, etc.) travelers will encounter, as well as rough price ranges. If there are national networks of pensions, hostels, or the like, give contact info here. Also, if there are national contact numbers for hotel information, this is also a good place to list that.''

Learn
''Information about schools and classes for language, culture, or other activities that international travelers may be interested in. Note cities where there are large international student opportunities. This can be about general stuff, with contact info and other specifics in the city guides.''

Work
''What options are there are for international travelers to find work in the country. Ideas on jobs, work visas, volunteer opportunities and resources, etc.''

Stay safe
''Words of warning for international travelers not familiar with the country's climate or culture. Include crime safety, natural hazards, regions of war and civil unrest, and any other potential dangers. If there are local or national safety contacts (or even standards such as "911" in the USA), note them.''

Stay healthy
''This section is for medical information, including local health hazards, medical, pharmacies, etc. Note any significant outbreaks of contagious diseases, recommended shots, and requirements for obtaining medicine or medical attention in the country. If there are national hotlines for medical emergencies, or local numbers that are standardized (like 911 in the USA), list them here. Mention whether tap water is drinkable or visitors should stick to bottled/boiled/purified water.''

Respect
''List here any common mistakes foreigners make about the country in question. In many parts of the world, certain parts of the body, buildings, people, or other objects are subject to custom and etiquette that may be different from the traveler's home culture. Should short-sleeved shirts and short pants be avoided in churches or temples? Is it OK to eat with your left hand? What about respect for the elderly, children, government officials, etc.? But try to resist the temptation to dish out advice from Captain Obvious — brushing your teeth and looking both ways before crossing the street is common sense anywhere.''

Connect
''General information about staying in contact. What phone networks (land lines and wireless) are available, and how much does the average payphone cost? What is the country's calling code number? What Internet connectivity is available? Are Internet cafes plentiful? What is the post system like, and what do mailboxes look like? How much are postage stamps, more or less? Are there other private services that provide delivery or mail service? As usual, don't list individual telephone centers or Internet cafes; save those for the city listings where they're located.''

Cope
Optional but, if present, could contain sub-sections such as:

"Consular assistance" giving pointers to the city articles where individual consular listings are to be found, especially where the locations are not obvious

"Newspapers" especially local English language publications in non-Anglophone countries

"Radio" especially local English language stations or local AM/FM frequencies of English-language services of broadcasters such as the BBC World Service, US Armed Forces Radio, Deutsche Welle, NHK, etc, in non-Anglophone countries

Go next
''Optional: Information about nearby countries or regions that would serve as a good "next stop". Provide a brief description of nearby destination suggestions. Don't duplicate information that's up in "Get in". For larger countries, if it makes no sense to suggest a next stop at such a high level, just leave the section out.''

Wikivoyage:Country surgeon Expedition

The Country surgeon Expedition is a collaborative project designed to "perform See-sections" on our country guides. That is, to craft a high quality "See" section with an overview of sightseeing opportunities for every country on the globe.

Rationale
Oddly enough, Wikivoyage for its first several years omitted "See" sections from its country template. Accordingly the section, after being introduced, is in most country articles very underdeveloped compared to the rest of the sections. As this truly is one of the most important sections—this is where travelers can actually find the main sightseeing attractions for the whole country and thus start planning their trip—it is essential that we work to craft high quality See sections throughout all country articles.

Goals

 * Create usable See sections for all countries.
 * Develop standards for high quality See sections.
 * Maintain a list of all countries lacking quality See sections, so we can monitor progress and provide a "sign up sheet" to avoid duplication of work.

Future goals may include ensuring that all country articles also have useful "Do" sections, and perhaps extending our "See" aims to cover country top-level regions (e.g., U.S. states, Japanese prefectures, etc.).

An unrelated goal, but one that will be easy to combine with our work, is to move each country "Understand" section below the "Other destinations" section, and to replace Template:Quickbar with Template:Quickbar/working. Lead images will need to be extracted from the original Quickbar template and added as standalone thumbnails.

Standards
Travelers should quickly be able to scan See sections for information regarding what types of sightseeing possibilities are available, and where to find the most important sights.

Sections should be filled with quality prose, not with lazy bulleted lists.

Longer See sections should be subdivided in a relevant way, for example by type of attractions (e.g., historical, natural, modern, etc.).

High quality examples

 * Iraq (for shorter, undivided sections)
 * Netherlands (for longer, subdivided sections)

Wikivoyage:Cultural Expedition

The Cultural Expedition is a Wikivoyage Expedition to give travellers a basic understanding of the culture, customs, behaviour and etiquette of a particular country or region.

Rationale
Interacting with local people is one the highlights of a trip to a foreign country. On many occasions travellers are surprised and sometimes even shocked when they discover the habits, ways and practises of the people they are visiting. And just as well they might find the way a traveller behaves funny, odd or even appalling. Understanding these differences and acting accordingly helps to bridge the gap between the traveller and the local.

Goals

 * Determine the place of cultural guides in Wikivoyage as a whole
 * Examine the ways other articles relate to these guides and vice versa
 * Define a cultural guide template to give them a consistent look and feel, and to make starting new guides easier
 * List the cultural aspects that travellers will most likely encounter in a given territory.

Cultural guides in Wikivoyage
The same culture can be shared by different countries, but one country can also harbour a multitude of cultures. These boundaries do not necessarily follow the national or regional borders used in Wikivoyage articles. Culture primarily has to do with people and less with land. So, the nature of cultural topics is sufficiently different from the content found in "geographical" articles. Therefore a separate cultural guide can link to the appropriate "geographical" articles and vice versa. If need be, interlinking cultural guides of different levels can be written. For example, the guide covering Indonesia might have links to lower level guides covering the Toraja culture on Sulawesi or the Dani culture in Western New Guinea.

Cultural guides are not meant to give a thorough, in-depth academic study of all the aspects of a given culture. Nor are they meant to describe cultures from a moralistic point of view: this is not the place to claim a certain culture to be inferior or superior to another or that particular aspects of it are right or wrong. Their function is to prepare the traveller for actions and reactions of local people as well as give them a basic insight of the do's and don'ts in the place they are going to visit.

Cultural guide names
An article for a cultural guide should have a title like "Territory cultural guide" or "People cultural guide". Examples: Arabian cultural guide, Indonesian cultural guide, Jewish cultural guide.

Structure of Cultural Guides
Each Wikivoyage cultural guide should have the following parts:

 * 1) An overview of the culture, giving a brief history, its scope and any other general information valuable to travellers.
 * 2) A topic list with explanations. Topics cover subjects such as "general politeness", "dress code", "eating and drinking", "religion", "male-female relations", etc.

The format of the guide should follow the Cultural guide template.

Wikivoyage:Currency

Understand
There are many different currencies in the world. In an effort to ensure readability and consistency, certain style conventions are used on Wikivoyage. Ideally, we want something that is easily readable by an English speaker, conveniently short, and easy for an editor to use; of course those goals sometimes conflict. This means that for consistency and/or clarity, Wikivoyage will sometimes use notation that differs from the notation travellers will see in the countries they are visiting.

This article describes the conventions we have adopted, which include
 * symbols like $ and € placed before the amount with no space
 * names like "baht" (for the Thai currency)
 * abbreviations like "kr" (for kronor in several Scandinavian countries)
 * abbreviations like "R" (South African rand)

The text should always mention the name of the currency unit, e.g. "peso" for the Philippines, since travellers will no doubt hear it. Most prices, though, should use the symbol or abbreviation, e.g. a hotel cost in a listing should be given as "₱600". A writer can also use the name in text if he or she thinks that reads better; e.g. one might say "The Channel Tunnel cost almost five million pounds."

The three letter ISO 4217 currency codes, like "PHP" for the peso or "USD" for the US dollar, should always be mentioned in the "Money" section of a country article since travellers may need them for doing funds transfers or for checking exchange rates online. In general they should not be used either in listings or in text, but exceptions can be made as needed to avoid ambiguity.

However, don't knock yourself out "correcting" for example USD27 to $27 - there is more important work to be done in plunging forward and writing an up-to-date and accurate free travel guide!

Which currency to use
In general, when writing about the price of an item in a country, stick to that country's currency. Do not switch between currencies. Doing so causes confusion and frustration. If you only know the price in dollars or euros, go to a currency conversion site and convert the number. Round off amounts appropriately.
 * Right: You can buy a coffee for ₱100. A taxi ride costs ₱700
 * Wrong: You can buy a coffee for ₱100. A taxi ride costs €6.70.

There are some exceptions:
 * In places such as Cambodia, Cuba, Myanmar and much of Africa, foreign nationals pay in hard currency (generally US dollars or euros) for some things (hotels, air and train tickets, entrance fees), but in local currency for other things (food, shopping, buses, taxis). In some places this a legal requirement, in others just a common business practice since the local currency is weak or unstable; see the country articles for details. In these cases list the price in the currency that the foreign traveller will be expected to pay, even if it means switching currencies in the body of the page.
 * If something falls on an international boundary, it may be necessary to indicate which currency (or currencies) are being referred to. If a seat on the next Tunnel Bus to leave Detroit is C$4, say so.
 * Even when most expenses will be paid in local currency, if the inflation rate is high enough that information will become outdated in only two years or less, use the equivalent amount in US dollars or euros. This should be consistent for all articles pertaining to the country.
 * A "basket-case" local currency can present multiple issues: hyperinflation, unstable exchange rates, bank runs, commodity shortages, official exchange rates that bear no relation to the value of the money on a black market, arbitrary currency controls, or non-convertibility of local cash to hard currency at any price. In this case, dates on prices may be used: "A tuk-tuk ride cost 10,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars (about US$333 at the official exchange rate or US$1 at parallel market rates) as of Feb 2008." A more detailed explanation of why the hyperinflated currency is volatile or effectively non-convertible may then be included in the Buy or Understand section of the article. If a country has re-denominated a currency (e.g. one new Turkish lira is worth 1 million old lira), imposed strict currency controls (to prevent export of the local money), or demonetized specific notes (so that they're no longer money at all, as India did in 2016), say so there.
 * If the country or article uses more than one currency, including foreign ones, use the shortest unambiguous form for each. For US dollars, this is US$. For euros, it's €.

Formatting
We also have some conventions which apply to the formatting of prices and other numbers.

Use a decimal point, "." to mark decimals and use a comma,"," to separate thousands groups. For example, a million dollars could be written as $1,000,000.00, or just as $1,000,000.

Write price ranges using a single currency symbol and a single dash with no spaces, e.g. Dinner: €10–20

Generally, when currency symbols are placed before the amount, they are so without space.

Otherwise, when there is a space between the chosen currency notation and the amount, use a non-breaking space for the space between the number and its currency, to avoid a line break. If you write  it will always display as 100 Kč  making sure that the numeral is never separated from its associated unit by wrapping to the next line like: 100 Kč .

A billion is a thousand million (U.S. style), not a million million (old British style).

When writing fractional units, that is amounts that are less than one whole unit of the local currency, use the most common local format. For instance, when indicating a price of sixty pence (in pound sterling), write 60p, rather than £0.60. By contrast, in the Eurozone there is no commonly-agreed symbol for euro cents, so a price of seventy cents should be written €0.70. In the U.S., either 50¢ or $0.50 is fine, as both forms are relatively common; the latter may be better if the price is accompanied by other prices over $1, for consistency.

Quantity words from other languages — such as Hindi lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000) or Chinese wan (10,000) — should be mentioned in the text since travellers may encounter them. However, they should generally not be used in our text, even if they are common in the local dialect of English. There may be exceptions for something like discussing employment for travellers if the ads quote salaries in lakh.

Symbols, abbreviations and notation
Prices should be generally listed with the currency notation that travellers will encounter when they arrive at the destination in question. The preferred format should be given in an info box at the top of the country talk page (e.g. Talk:Argentina).

Readers should be able to assume that symbols used for multiple currencies (like $, £ or ¥) apply to the local currency.

Otherwise, we adopt the most widely used abbreviation, with whatever formatting convention comes with them, i.e., whether there is or isn't a space between it and the amount or a period after the abbreviation, and whether the abbreviation is placed before or after the amount. As for any abbreviation, consider spelling out the first occurrence in full (with the notation to be used in the rest of the article following immediately afterwards in parentheses), if there is a substantial risk of ambiguity or ignorance.

Sometimes, we use the full currency name if that is short enough to be convenient; it should come after the amount. In some cases we use the more readable short name even when a symbol might be an alternative (e.g., Thailand and Laos).

Multinational currencies

 * Euro used by 26 European countries and a number of their territories: €100 — not EUR 100, 100€, nor 100 euros.   will give you:
 * Eastern Caribbean dollar used by Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, and Montserrat: EC$100 — (although "$" is commonly used to denote EC dollars, Wikivoyage uses this notation for clarity because prices in tourist areas are sometimes listed in US$)
 * West African CFA franc used by Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo: CFA100 — not Fr 100, 100CFA.
 * Central African CFA franc used by Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon: FCFA100 — not Fr 100, 100FCFA.

Other currencies

 * These are available in the Formatting and language conventions box at the beginning of the discussion page for each country article, together with time and language conventions.

 * Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan
 * Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burundi
 * Cambodia, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, China,  Colombia, Comoros, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czech Republic

 * Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom (and dependencies), United States (and dependencies), Uruguay, Uzbekistan
 * Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam
 * Zambia, Zimbabwe

Technical details
Eventually, most mentions of currency should use a localized variant of the exchangerate template linked below. This has multiple benefits, including standardizing formatting, handling non-breaking spaces, and providing automatic conversion. A pair of regular expressions for easy conversion from one form to the other follows. The example is for Philippine pesos, but can be adapted. Make sure to examine its output, as sometimes currency is mentioned that should not be converted (e.g. common denominations). Some other issues: the regex strips out commas, but some articles may be using them as decimal separators, against the policy laid out above. This must be manually corrected.

The second one is to cover the second (unitless) value in constructions such as ₱300/400, which often occur in hotel room costs and similar prices. It can be run multiple times to cover chains of these. Some possible variations on the first regex: unit symbol after number, currency written out (in which case it can be followed by e.g.  to catch for plural and singual forms), the ISO code of the currency, etc.

Wikivoyage:Database dump

Wikimedia provides database dumps of all of its public wikis. These contain XML text for all articles (with the exception of deleted pages) with past revisions. These do not contain uploaded images.

Dumps for the English-language Wikivoyage are available at https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwikivoyage In particular, the wikicode for all current mainspace articles (without past revisions) is this file, it is under 100 MB. The English-language database was imported to the Wikimedia Foundation servers on Nov 10, 2012. The WMF dump dated 2012-Nov-18 is therefore the first to contain valid data.

Listings data is also available at https://github.com/baturin/wikivoyage-listings as CSV, XML, GPX, OBF, SQL. That makes it easy to integrate Wikivoyage listings in your app/website.

Websites that mirror Wikivoyage for online use are listed at List of content re-users.

Current Applications
These mobile packages use data from the Wikivoyage dumps, per their respective authors:
 * Wikivoyage Offline - All travel guides usable without an Internet connection, on Android/iOS/Windows/Mac/Linux.
 * GuideWithMe is a mobile travel app, based on Wikivoyage data.
 * Triposo The smart travel guide for iOS and Android. Works offline (including maps) and provides smart personalized suggestions.
 * Travegeo Web-based smart trip planner for desktop, tablets and mobile.
 * Holidayen Travel Planner - Uses Wikivoyage in a web-based trip planning application. Also on Android.
 * Wiki Triip - Offline iOS reader that repackages Wikivoyage data to look like a native app.
 * Wiki Voyage Offline - Looks to be a repackage of the Wikivoyage database dump for iOS, but is not free.
 * Outdoorsome An AI powered travel research platform that ranks the top recommendations for things to do in destinations around the world.

Old applications

 * WikiSherpa - Uses Wikivoyage in its mobile app along Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap.

Wikivoyage:Deletion policy

Not everything belongs in Wikivoyage. We sometimes have to delete articles, files and templates; this policy defines why and how we do that.

The full or partial content of any article can be deleted at any time, by any user. That's not to say that content should be deleted, but each user has the technical possibility to delete article text. Only administrators can delete the article's title and entry on this site, though.

We rarely delete pages that are not copied from other sites and are the result of good-faith attempts to improve the travel guide. It's not often necessary to do so. This article talks about how to delete a page, and what to do when you think you need to delete a page, but actually don't need to.

Articles for real places that cannot support an article are normally redirected to articles for nearby destinations. However, when that is not possible, or if it is deemed not to be in the best interests of the traveller, they may be nominated for deletion at votes for deletion. In cases of copyright violation or large-scale page-creation vandalism, cases in which all of the information is about places outside the destination, or persistent lack of information on the order of including only the text "[Destination name] is in Region name", speedy deletion may be necessary and appropriate. In some such cases, especially deletions due to copyright violation, good-faith recreation of the deleted article in a way that solves the problem is welcome.

Reasons to delete articles
Simply asserting that a page does not fit within our goals is not sufficient for a deletion rationale, which needs to reference specific policy. Article entries should be deleted from the site when...

 * ...they are too fine-grained. As a rule, restaurants, hotels, bars and sights don't get their own articles on Wikivoyage. As an exception, some sights justify their own article as a travel destination in and of themselves, like Angkor Archaeological Park or Disneyland. See What is an article? for details. If the sight is important enough that people are likely to search for it, or text moved from the to-be-deleted page needs proper attribution, then it should be made a redirect instead of deleted.
 * ...they are vandalism. Sometimes articles get created when a user vandalised the wiki. These articles may have nonsense, inappropriate or even obscene titles. Verify them first, though: for example, both Dildo and Hell are actual places! While deletion is often appropriate, sometimes a more creative solution can be found, such as making the article a redirect for a common mis-spelling or typographical errors (typos) for a place name.
 * ...they are copyright violations, and have been so since creation. Just because the text is a copyright violation, that does not mean that the article should not exist, but a deletion removes the violation from the page history, which is desirable.
 * ...they are itineraries that have been at outline status without being substantially edited within one year. Since just about any topic can be an itinerary, itineraries must either be actively worked on or achieve some level of completion to be kept.  Template:Outlineitinerary should be used to tag itineraries at the outline level.  Note that sufficiently famous, marked routes such as Alaska Highway or Annapurna Circuit are exempt regardless of the status or age of the article.
 * ...they are travel topics that have been at outline status without being substantially edited within one year, and there is no suitable travel topic to redirect to. Template:Outlinetopic should be used to tag topics at the outline level.

Article entries should not be deleted from the site when a legitimate article can be written for the subject. Some examples:

 * Bad article titles. If the name of the article is wrong (for example, if there's a spelling error, or if it doesn't conform to our article naming conventions), then rename the page (or ask for help) instead of copying its contents to a new page.
 * Duplicates of other articles. For example, if an article for "Holland" and another for the "Netherlands" exist, their content should be merged, and the one that doesn't fit with our article naming conventions ("Holland") should be redirected to the one that does.
 * Really bad articles. Sometimes articles are a sloppy mess, or just a bunch of notes and ideas. These articles should be improved rather than deleted.

In the case of a really bad article on a legitimate subject, rather than deleting it, its text should initially be replaced by a stub and later with a real article. There are a few special cases:
 * An article created as a joke (or so bad that it is a good joke) may be moved to a Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense subpage (without redirect), leaving a clean slate to create a real article.
 * On a one-time basis, an article imported from another travel wiki may be discarded and replaced if it contains no content that will be re-used. This avoids retaining attribution to an external project if a page is rewritten with entirely new content or was imported as a skeleton with no useful information.

Redirects
As a general rule, redirect pages should not be deleted. Redirection pages provide alternative page titles for articles and allow search engines to locate articles by their alternative names. If you are deleting a page, be sure to check that any links to that page are also changed to point to the right place, especially if content has been moved. Redirection pages that link to non-existent pages show up as Broken redirects and Dead-end pages. Unlinked redirect pages can, and should, also be changed if possible, though consider deleting it if:

 * …the redirect is unlinked and redirects to a deleted article and changing the link does not make sense. For example: If the title of the redirection page is very similar to the article being deleted and there is no alternative logical link, then changing the redirect page would not make sense and it should be deleted.

To move a page to the name of a redirect, that redirect has to be removed. If the redirect points elsewhere, a hat note should in most cases be added to the page in question. If the two are just alternative names of the same page, deleting the redirect to allow the move is uncontroversial, given it is the better name. Sometimes, though, the redirect page has non-trivial history. If the history is there because of a copy-and-paste page move, the old history and that created at the new location should be merged. Sometimes the two versions have developed in parallel, and merging such histories would give a very confusing result. Check carefully how to handle such situations.

Talk pages
Unlike Wikipedia, we generally do not delete talk pages, even for articles that have been deleted. There is no harm in keeping them, and occasionally they preserve something useful that someone said.

Templates
Our template policy requires that new templates be first discussed and approved by the community. In practice, non-controversial templates do get created without discussion and do not get deleted. But the controversial ones will likely be nominated and deleted.

Unused templates may also be deleted.

Categories
Categories are created to correspond with the breadcrumb hierarchy, but sometimes the hierarchy may change or articles are moved. In these cases, the corresponding unused categories can be deleted on sight and replaced with new categories based on the new articles.

Reasons to delete files
Almost always, images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, our shared image repository. The only exception is for non-free images kept here under our exemption doctrine and some high profile images such as DotM banners.

Files of any type of media other than images should not be uploaded here, and will be deleted.

Additional reasons for deletion of even those images that meet our criteria for being hosted locally are:

 * Copyright violations.
 * Orphaned images, that is, images that aren't used as part of articles. Images hosted locally are for supporting articles, not to be left on their own.
 * Privacy rights violations. Photos with identifiable people must satisfy the requirements laid out at Commons:Photographs of identifiable people.

Deleting vs. redirecting
Redirecting non-articles, when possible, is usually preferred to deletion for several reasons. First, anyone can make a redirect; it does not require administrator privileges as deleting a page does. Second, redirects may be helpful to users. Consider a user who wants to visit the Taj Mahal; with a redirect in place, clicking on the link or doing a simple search takes him or her right to the correct city. Finally, the extra links help with search engine optimization.

A redirect is inappropriate when: A redirect is appropriate when:
 * 1) The redirect might cause confusion. Example: redirecting "Cherry Blossom" to Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots would cause confusion with all other sites that are known for cherry blossoms.
 * 2) The redirect might interfere with searches. Example: if "Ocean" redirected to Ocean City it would prevent results from being returned when searching for the term "ocean".
 * 3) The redirect could be considered self-promotion or spam (see also WV:Don't tout).  Individual restaurants, bars, hotels or other businesses should not get redirects, although exceptions are made for large and/or important businesses and services like Amtrak (see #3 in the following section).
 * 1) The redirect is an alternate name or spelling for a place, including common misspellings.
 * 2) The redirect is for a real place and there is an appropriate redirect target.  This guidance applies to neighborhoods, tiny towns, or places that may not meet the WV:WIAA criteria.  Example: a redirect has been created for Hell's Kitchen, which is a neighborhood within Manhattan.
 * 3) The redirect is a term for which links are commonly created, or is a subject that might otherwise be likely to result in creation of an article that does not meet WV:WIAA. Example: Taj Mahal redirects to Agra.
 * 4) The redirect aids searches on certain terms.  Example: USA redirects to United States of America.
 * 5) Deletion would risk breaking external links to Wikivoyage.  This guidance is most relevant for redirects/articles that have existed for a significant length of time.
 * 6) Deletion would result in loss of edit history required for attribution purposes.  This guidance usually only applies to redirects created as a result of merging two articles.

First merge any useful content into the article you will redirect to; the edit summary should indicate where the material is taken from so that attribution is not lost (you can use the permanent link in the toolbox or Title to link to the specific version). Then make the other article a redirect; see How to redirect a page for details.

Deletion procedure

 * 1) First verify that the article or image really is a candidate for deletion. If you are unsure, bring up the issue on the talk page.
 * 2) For the article or image being proposed for deletion, add a vfd tag so that people viewing the article will know that it is proposed for deletion. The vfd tag must be the very first thing in the article, right at the very top, before everything else.
 * 3) Add a link to the article or image at the end of the VFD list, along with the reason why it is being listed for deletion.  Sign your vote using four tildes (" ~ ").  List one article or image per entry.
 * 4) If you're nominating an image for deletion, make sure it's actually located on the English Wikivoyage... many images are located on Wikimedia Commons, in which case they should be nominated for deletion over there instead.

Other contributors can discuss whether the article or image should be deleted. Articles and images are presumed guilty until proven innocent. After fourteen (14) days of discussion, if a consensus is reached to retain an article, it won't be deleted. Otherwise it will be deleted by an administrator.

Speedy deletion

 * See Category:Speedy deletion candidates

Administrators may also, at their discretion, delete obviously inappropriate articles and images:

 * Articles that cannot possibly ever be destinations or travel topics, as they are either much too limited in scope or entirely outside the scope of Wikivoyage. Examples include the names of people, companies, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools, and just plain gibberish.
 * Images uploaded to English Wikivoyage without justification. Wikimedia Commons is now the repository for most images used on Wikivoyage.  Any image uploaded to English Wikivoyage is subject to speedy deletion unless there is a clear explanation given about why the image was not uploaded to Commons instead (such as non-free content).  When speedy deleting images uploaded to English Wikivoyage a message should be left on the uploader's talk page explaining that images must be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
 * Images that are blatant copyright violations from commercial, governmental, and non-commercial sites that clearly attest copyright. Examples include copyrighted maps and commercial PR materials.  The deleting admin must provide the source URL.
 * Images that have been moved to the Commons may also be speedily deleted on request.
 * Imported pages from another wiki with no content (skeletons, redirects or text which has been entirely replaced by a new, non-derivative page). This one-time deletion for SEO purposes is without prejudice against re-creation and does not reflect a subject's validity as an article.
 * Talk pages that contain only spam or gibberish, or otherwise contain no legitimate content.
 * Uncontroversial deletions of pages created in error, or redirects with no (or trivial) history which are blocking a page move.
 * Non-contributing user pages created for the purpose of non-travel related spam or vandalism.
 * Pages within the User: or User talk: namespaces at the request of the associated user (with the exception of pages that contain current or archived discussions).
 * Legacy categories left over from changes in the breadcrumb hierarchy. See above.

If there is any doubt whether the criteria above apply, or any chance that an article or image could be considered useful, they should go through the deletion voting procedure. If the content has potential but the name is hopeless, the content should be moved to the proper place before deletion. If the name is okay but the article content is a copyright violation, it may be blanked and replaced with an article skeleton template.

New pages that are plainly spam and that qualify for speedy deletion will be deleted as soon as they are noticed by an administrator, and therefore do not need to be listed on the votes for deletion page. Non-administrators may tag an article for speedy deletion by adding the   template as a way to ensure that it isn't overlooked.

To contest a speedy deletion, raise the issue on Votes for undeletion.

Speedy keep
In some cases an article or image may be nominated for deletion, and a consensus to keep the content is then reached before fourteen days have passed. In this case leaving the article or image as a candidate for deletion is no longer necessary and the VFD may be ended early. When ending a VFD early:

 * Remove the VFD tag from the article or image.
 * Copy the VFD discussion onto the article or image talk page.
 * Archive the VFD discussion from the Project:Votes for deletion page.

Do not end a VFD early unless a clear consensus is reached. A consensus is not the same as a majority, nor do a small handful of comments in favor of keeping an article constitute a consensus. If you are unsure about whether a consensus has been reached, allow the VFD to continue.

Deleting articles in personal namespaces
Articles in your userspace can be speedy-deleted by an administrator at your request. You can by adding to the page.

Admins can delete their own pages as they wish.

A notable exception is talk pages. We don't usually delete discussions, even on user talk pages, so these will generally be left intact if anyone other than the user has commented.

Undeletion procedure
It may occur from time to time that we delete a page by mistake — that is, that the page doesn't actually meet the standards for deleting articles listed above. Or it may be that our relevant policies changed after the deletion, and a page can now be reinstated. In this case, a Wikivoyager should link to the page on Project:Votes for undeletion, with an explanation of why deletion isn't in accordance with the deletion policy. A new argument must be made for why the initial decision should now be overturned. Articles and images are still considered guilty until proven innocent. After fourteen days of discussion, if a consensus arises that the page was deleted unnecessarily, then an administrator should reinstate the page. Otherwise, the page will stay deleted.

Wikivoyage:Destination of the month

Each month, Wikivoyagers choose a Destination of the month to feature on the Main Page of Wikivoyage. It showcases an interesting destination and one of the best of Wikivoyage's articles. Discussion about candidates for Destination of the month takes place at Destination of the month candidates. They are updated on the main page using Template:Banner.

Destination of the month
The Destination of the month features an article of guide status or higher of a well-known destination on the Main Page. It is rotated every 1st of the month.

Off the beaten path
Off the beaten path features an article of guide status or higher of a lesser known destination on the Main Page. It is rotated every 11th of the month.

Featured travel topic
The Featured travel topic showcases a travel topic, itinerary, phrasebook or other kind of non-destination article of guide status or higher on the Main Page. It is rotated every 21st of the month.

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
You 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.
 * See Previous Destinations of the month, Previously Off the beaten path, and Previous Featured travel topics to check.
 * 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:

Add a nomination to the end of the appropriate section.

Discuss
You 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
If 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 Destination of the month candidates/Banners to start that discussion.

Archive
Discussions for previously selected destinations are kept in the Archive.

Schedule
The 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.

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
Decisions regarding which images to use as the banners are made at 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
On 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.

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Update the Photo credits page with the banner's original image, title and attribution.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) Remove Template:Featurenomination from newly featured article.
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) * For former DotMs, add: |dotm=yes
 * 7) * For former OtBPs, add: |otbp=yes
 * 8) * For former FTTs, add: |ftt=yes
 * 9) Archive the newly featured article's nomination. Simply cut-and-paste the nomination section of the newly featured article from this page to Destination of the month candidates/Archive.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) In the schedule, use and to strikethrough the newly featured article. Remove the row from the table if the newly featured article is the FTT.
 * 12) Archive the newly featured article's banner by cutting-and-pasting all banner suggestions and the associated discussion into Destination of the month candidates/Banners/Archive.

Perth

 * 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, 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)
 * That's fair enough. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 08:37, 3 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)

 * Comment — oops, I edited timestamps according to the above, but setting the year to 2024 instead of 2023, now corrected. That means that they need to be checked before the feature in August. –LPfi (talk) 11:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Yarrangobilly Caves

 * 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)
 * Thanks for adding the paths! Could you annotate them as well, maybe in the mapframe description? Jpatokal (talk) 00:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅, though in the listings instead. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 01:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Sekigahara

 * Can't see anything that would prevent this from being an OtBP. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 12:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Article looks good & the site is important. Pashley (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 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)

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)

El Hierro

 * Some work needed per comment. --Ypsilon (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Churches in Antarctica

 * as nominator. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 10:43, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 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)

Voyages of James Cook

 * Support as nominator. As this article is about several journeys, unlike the Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation which was about just one, I don't think it's necessary to rewrite it as an itinerary, it's good as it is. Ypsilon (talk) 19:46, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: We tend to look for major anniversaries for historical articles. Cook's second voyage was made from 1772 to 1775, which is 250 years ago. Not sure whether there will be any public events to attend, however. /Yvwv (talk) 13:38, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Put on hold? - This is a clean article with guide status, entirely written by established Wikivoyagers so I went ahead and nominated it for FTT some time ago. Now I'm scanning Commons for banner material for March's and April's featured articles, and looked more closely at the article to see which exact destinations the article is about. At that, I noticed that there are no POIs from New Zealand (see also Talk:Voyages of James Cook), and that part of the world is too important not to include. There are Mt Cook and the Cook strait but there must also be quite a few monuments of him, but the question is which of them are the most notable and should be included in the article? --Ypsilon (talk) 16:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have added some NZ POIs and listings for the two replica Endeavour's which are afloat (UK and Australia). There are now three NZ listings - two are of the beaten track and one is a more central statue, but I am not sure if it is the most notable memorial. AlasdairW (talk) 22:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I also added the Cook strait and mountain. --Ypsilon (talk) 09:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Slush? The article is not good to go. It has no yes votes, and has not improved nearly 5 months past nomination. We should consider slushing. /Yvwv (talk) 16:32, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Let's wait for a week or two, I just brought the issues to light and there's a good chance that we have editors familiar with Cook and NZ who can help. Ypsilon (talk) 16:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Support I think it is now in reasonable shape, although more could be done. We should also check that the places listed in the article are mentioned in the city articles which are linked in the listings. AlasdairW (talk) 23:21, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Right to access in the Nordic countries

 * Support as nominator. Ypsilon (talk) 18:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Quite different from most travel topics we have. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 02:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. I think the article covers most relevant issues and it may be eye-opening for people from countries where the tradition is different (such as England and the USA). However, I'd like to hear from travellers not familiar with the concept: is there something that should be clarified? –LPfi (talk) 08:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * [edit conflict] The time slot in July is nice, as it's in the berry and mushroom season (which will continue through September) and also a common vacation time in Europe, with good hiking weather locally. –LPfi (talk) 09:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * As an outsider, I've found this concept pretty easy to understand when I visited Norway a few years back (and should find it relatively easy when I visit Iceland and Finland next year), but that's also because it's a bit more lax here than it is in the UK or US and accidentally trespassing won't get you into much issues (unlike some places where you can legally be shot). -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 09:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * (and as a side note, I so wish this concept applied everywhere instead of just the Nordics) -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 09:42, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. As Scotland has more recently introduced some broadly similar rights with the Outdoor Access Code about 20 years ago, I found the article easy to understand and got a good grip also on what is different. I would like to see some links to definitive advice on access - government websites or possibly walking clubs etc. It would also be good to know who is responsible for enforcing these rights - to who do I report the farmer shouting "get off my land!". AlasdairW (talk) 21:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There is no definite advice, as these right aren't codified in law (other than as a side effect of other legislation). Government websites, walking clubs etc. do give advice, but they are not "official sites/primary sources" on the issue, so whatever they say should instead be included in our article, to the extent we see it as important.
 * For the same reason nobody is enforcing those rights. If a farmer tells you to get off some specific part of their land, you should comply, as they probably have good reason. On the other hand, if you don't and they threaten you, then you can take them to court for illegal threats, or they could take you to court for causing damage to their crop.
 * It seems this aspect of the rights should be explained more clearly in the article. One thing that I see difficult to convey, is how well this works in practice, through nearly everybody's respect for the rights, and most people behaving. There is little reason for a landowner to patrol their forest in hunt of hikers. This can be seen in court cases being very rare – no hikers or berry pickers try to test the limits.
 * –LPfi (talk) 07:26, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Did this help? –LPfi (talk) 09:37, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks that helps. The question on enforcement came because the Scottish code has been challenged by landowners, although the traditional access that it was codifying rarely was. As this is a topic touching on legal areas, I think we should either have a strong disclaimer in the lede ("consult a lawyer for advice"), or link to other sites which give similar advice. For example, these tourist office pages appear to support what we are saying: Visit Sweden, Visit Norway and Visit Finland. This helps to protect WV and editors from being sued if something is wrong. It also helps readers unfamiliar with the ideas to see them expressed in different words elsewhere. AlasdairW (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. This is an excellent travel topic! Excellent to see support for this nomination from locals as well. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 16:39, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Flight baggage

 * Support as nominator. Ypsilon (talk) 18:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Needs work. There is redundancy, dead links and some details that should go into By air sections in country articles. Some of these latter might be left as examples, but then worded as such, with hints on generalisability. –LPfi (talk) 07:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Needs work per LPfi. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 08:08, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Ohlone Wilderness Trail

 * Support --Ypsilon (talk) 15:46, 27 January 2024 (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)
 * 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)

Western food in Asia

 * Support per nomination. --Ypsilon (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Excellent and surprisingly comprehensive. Jpatokal (talk) 00:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Pashley (talk) 03:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Definitely an excellent article for what is otherwise a niche topic, at least in the Anglosphere. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 06:55, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
