"Euro" information relevant?[edit]

I personally don't see the purpose of describing the Euro in detail at the "Buy" section of Monaco. What do you guys think? --Renek78 (talk) 19:34, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. In my opinion it should only mention that it uses Euro like most of the European Union, and that there are some commemorative coins that may interest the collectors (it was possible to purchase them when the Euro was introduced, but nowadays I suppose they are hard to obtain). — Fabimaru (talk) 21:00, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Quickbook information that includes the Monegasque Franc looks inaccurate. That should be edited out, shouldn't it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It should not be there, but the problem is that the information comes from Wikidata, and there it is mentioned that the Monegasque Franc stopped being used in 2002 (and that the Euro started in 1999). So the Quickbook does not take in account this meta-data. I don't know how to fix that (in Wikivoyage). — Fabimaru (talk) 20:26, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How would it be fixed in Wikidata? Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:32, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The information in Wikidata is correct, so it should not be modified. From what I understand, the problem is in the Wikivoyage side: the Quickbook should not take the elements whose end date has passed. I don't understand why the page about France does not behave the same way: the Wikidata for France contains 4 currencies. In fact, it is possible with the template "quickbar" to override the currency coming from Wikidata by just adding a parameter "currency=Euro" (which I just did). But I would prefer to understand why it happens instead of a shady workaround. — Fabimaru (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Categorize as region of France?[edit]

The categorization of Monaco as a country in Europe is very imprecise. While Monaco is a sovereign and widely recognized country, virtually all foreign visitors arrive and leave through France, and there are no border controls. Most advice for visitors to France also applies for Monaco. We should consider to describe Monaco as a region of France. Compare Vatican City, which is described as a district of Rome. San Marino is a similar case. /Yvwv (talk) 02:27, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vatican City is quite literally part of Rome, usually accessed by walking from Italian sovereign territory. Monaco is its own city, San Marino is not classified as part of Italy, and neither are usually accessed by walking across an unmarked frontier. My gut feeling is that Monaco is not part of France, doesn't feel entirely like part of France and shouldn't be classified as such, but I'd be willing to entertain arguments to the contrary. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:57, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I really feel that all the countries should be classified as such (excepted the Vatican, because it's so small and quick to visit). — Fabimaru (talk) 17:18, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I generally agree with you, and I also agree specifically on Vatican City. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thank you to those responsible for the 'on foot' section - it is indeed a lovely way to get into Monaco, even if it's not entirely clear where the border is when you do so! Lovingboth (talk) 12:34, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A selection of Page Banner for Moncao[edit]

Banner 1
Banner 2
Banner 3
Banner 4
All three are beautiful. Why change? Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ikan Kekek, I just found a 4th one, which is better than all of them in my opinion. Maybe a bit dark...--Renek78 (talk) 09:00, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My point is, with a banner this good already, why even consider changing it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have to say the existing banner reminds me best of Monaco... --Andrewssi2 (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great. Then we leave it. Just wanted to add some options to choose from.--Renek78 (talk) 09:44, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
