    • File:Default Scuba diving banner.JPG
    • File:Itinerary banner.jpg
• The standard disambiguation banner File:Disambiguation banner.png should be used for all disambiguation pages.

• Custom banners are all other than Default banners.

Current use of banners from Wikidata

• If at a local WV pagebanner contains a parameter with a custom banner, the custom banner is used
• else
  • if an associated wikidata item contains a property Wikivoyage banner (Property:P948), the file listed in the Wikidata Wikivoyage banner property is used
  • If at a local WV pagebanner contains a parameter with one of the default banners banner, this default banenr is used
  • else File:Pagebanner default.jpg is used

Bot solution (request for a bot)

• When editors add page banners locally to WV projects and they are not uploaded to Wikidata manually, they can't be used for another language WV.
• A bot will run periodically to add newly added custom banners to wikidata as a new item, if it doesn't exist. For that category can be used.
