Travel topic: Saving time Time management

Swept in from the pub

I just started an experimental travel topic for saving time. Please contribute with hints and opinions. /Yvwv (talk) 18:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

@Yvwv: Thanks for seeking consensus on this. In my opinion, some of the advice so far is good (like the hint that novice travelers often do not plan itineraries very well) but some is fairly wv:obvious (like "flying is the fastest way to travel long distances" or "fast food is the fastest way to get fed"). I think the article would be improved with more of the former, of course, but also less of the latter. I recognize that some of the obvious advice is helpful for wikilinks or having something to put in a section, though, but I'm not sure it would help a reader very much.

Article is now named time management. /Yvwv (talk) 20:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Never understand the reason for keep creating trave topics that have not valuable content. This is all wv:obvious stuff. --Traveler100 (talk) 20:20, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ There might be a deeper meaning to some of those trave topics, since we all are different and some people need things to be explicit. Anyway, the article could be an optimizer or checklist for inexperienced travelers to see if they missed something. I know people that get pretty stressed before they travel, even though they are very experienced travelers, and some of them need to have a checklist to minimize their anxiety.

For the record, we have a travel basics article which I started as an article for Captain Obvious stuff to help readers who have little travel experience. -- ϒψιλον (talk) 06:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

The Captain Obvious policy is, ironically, not very obvious. Implicitly it says that articles in the geographic hierarchy (countries, cities etc) should not contain advice which is not dependent on location. Travel topics develop over time, and are by nature experimental, as Wikivoyage hasn't really had any precedent for what an open-source digital guidebook should be like. The time management article has already a lot of information which is far from trivial. /Yvwv (talk) 18:27, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
