If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.

One request: Please edit the Kigali article instead of starting articles about districts within that city, as there has not been any proposal to divide that city into districts on this site and the article about it is nowhere near too long to function as a single article. Also, read Wikivoyage:What is an article (so that's two requests). Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

I see you've started a series of articles on districts of Kigali. I am going to turn all of them into redirects right away. If there's any important text that needs to be added to the Kigali article, add it there. Thanks. And don't now start adding articles about districts of other cities that are not districted on this site. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:22, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

I started creating articles about districts of Kigali city because I thought it is allowed to create age for a district. I saw it on a template that district could it's article. there are many things you can do, see and buy in each districts of Kigali. there are heritage sites you can visit you can find in on district and you can't find in another.

I also saw there are also small cities' pages created on wikivoyage. I thought Districts too, can have their articles. TheJackNation (talk) 09:49, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

When a city has not been divided into districts on this site, you need to make a proposal on the article's talk page, explaining why it serves the traveler to subdivide the city article into x-number of district articles, and you cannot act unless you are able to convince a consensus to agree with your proposal, which has to include exact boundaries and a good-faith estimate of the total number of listings that would be in each district article. In this case, I would say no proposal would have any chance of attaining a consensus, since the article about Kigali is nowhere close to overwhelmingly long.

Please look at Wikivoyage:Huge city article template: "If a city is so big that we really can't keep all its information in one page, we break it up into districts, each of which has its own article." Also see Wikivoyage:District article template: "Before you plunge forward creating districts, read recommendations on when (not) to districtify." Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

I did not divide Kigali city into districts, the city was already divided into 3 districts under constitution law of Rwanda, and there are other pages of districts that were created before. Kigali a is small city and it is divided into smallest cities which are also it's districts. each district has it's own different history and other tourists attraction activities. for instance: people visit Gasabo the most because it is the origin of Rwanda. I think that the main issue is not creating articles about small cities in Kigali the issue is calling them districts because there are other small cities created within those districts TheJackNation (talk) 10:19, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

To clarify things:

• District on Wikivoyage means a subpage of a city, somewhat like Oslo/Sentrum
• Administrative districts usually have no bearing on Wikivoyage, unless it makes sense from a travel perspective.
• That means Kigali would normally be in one article, even if the Rwandan constitution states so. However, if Kigali becomes overly long, then it can be divided into three separate articles.

Does that help a bit? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

I think was supposed to create subpages of Kigali city. TheJackNation (talk) 10:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Can you explain what part of the discussion you haven't understood? We don't need subpages for Kigali. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:44, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

To reiterate, we only have subpages if a destination article becomes overly long. If it's not, then we leave it as-is (as with Kigali). SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:57, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

it's clear. I am just wondering if I Create articles about other small cities in Rwanda, some has same name as administrative names TheJackNation (talk) 11:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Sure, provided that they fulfill the requirements laid out at Wikivoyage:What is an article. In some small towns, there's nothing much to see or do, so they might not get their own articles and instead be covered by the article for the nearest larger town, whereas other small towns are full of attractions, have famous restaurants, etc. I'd say read wiaa and then if you're in doubt, just start the articles.
