Expeditions

I think if someone searched expedition in the mainspace they wouldn't want this result. Tai123.123 (talk) 01:38, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

• Keep It's unlikely a reader would search "expedition", just as they'd search Pub, What not to link to or vfd. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:18, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

  As another note, I use this search term a fair bit in the search bar. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:48, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

I now go for disambiguate per Pashley and Vaticidalprophet. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:54, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

• Delete I can see this redirect confusing readers, and new editors, who just see the list and think "we have a Kosovo Expedition, so we should have an Everest Expedition". It would be more useful to have a travel topic on joining or organising an actual expedition. AlasdairW (talk) 11:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
• Delete per above. This would be a plausible travel topic (though definitely not one I'm qualified to write). —Granger (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

• Turn it into a disambig page? Link to Wikivoyage:Expeditions for our specialised use of the term. Also to places you need an expedition to reach; Next-to-impossible destinations & Wilderness backpacking, maybe others? Pashley (talk) 11:55, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
• Disambiguate per Pashley's suggestion. This is a fairly generic term that can reasonably serve a purpose for both the editor and the traveller. SHB's use of it implies it's getting enough use to be worth at least keeping some connection to the projectspace page, but the nomination's argument is also reasonable. Disambiguation with the set of articles Pashley suggests is a plausible middle ground. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 13:42, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
• Disambiguate or create a travel topic with a disambiguation link above towards a disambiguation page. Another alternative could be to rename all the "Wikivoyage Expeditions" into something clearer, such as "WikiProject" instead. --Onwa (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
• Comment: I like the idea of making this a disambiguation if it can be done well, and I think the folks participating in this thread are likely to be effective in accomplishing that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

  There seems to be clear consensus to disambiguate. I'm not sure how it should look like, so would defer to @Pashley. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:15, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

I took a first cut at it; likely others can improve it. Pashley (talk) 12:02, 19 January 2022 (UTC) Pashley (talk) 12:13, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
