Region articles

[edit]

Region articles should not have detailed listings for points of interest, restaurants, shops, or hotels. Wikivoyage:Region article template says:

"Individual listings should be placed at the lowest available level of local page (a district of a huge city or the city page for a small town)."
"points of interest (such as those mentioned in "See" sections) should not usually have markers in region articles but should be linked to the bottom-level article where they have full listings."

Yeah, wouldn't some of these fall under Vatnajökull National Park? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 12:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but that park is so big that I don't know that it's useful to dump everything in there. Most people will be driving the ring road, rather than planning a trip through the park. Ground Zero (talk) 12:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@SHB2000: any suggestion for what to do with Skaftafell, the last See listing? I'm out of ideas. Ground Zero (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe should we move it to "Other destinations"? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 20:28, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I was hoping to avoid that. I don't like putting a sight in Other Destinations, but I don't see a alternative. thanks. Ground Zero (talk) 11:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
What I don't like about our current structure of Iceland is how we lump everything onto Vatnajökull National Park, a park that covers everything from Svartifoss and Dettifoss. Maybe it might be time to split the article up into divisions that make sense from a travel perspective? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 11:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
That makes sense to me. We can keep it as an extra region, but move the detailed information to local articles. Ground Zero (talk) 12:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
How should we split the articles? More Jökulsárlóns would be nice (the northern exclave should also be its own article). --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 20:28, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ground Zero: I've started a draft for the northern exclave at User:SHB2000/Jökulsárgljúfur. Any input would be appreciated since I've yet to visit Iceland (December 2025 it is). --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 08:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
