Kwangwa phrasebook

A run-through of the minority Sikwangwa language that is spoken in the Western Province of Zambia. Amukusana Mukuka (talk) 20:01, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

From wikipedia:Kwangwa language, I see that there are only 2,400 speakers of Kwangwa. How well do you know the language? AlasdairW (talk) 20:55, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Numbers on Listings

Hi. I was wondering how numbers on listings work. I've added listing, but they don't have numbers - there's seemingly nothing different with the parameters. Help would be appreciated. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 19:07, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Listings show numbers when they appear on the map. In most cases this is because the lat and long fields have the correct location information. It can also happen indirectly when the wikidata field is completed and the linked wikidata page has the location. There is nothing wrong with having some listings which don't have numbers, sometimes it is better to avoid cluttering the map if a few words of direction is clearer (e.g. next door to X).

Seasonal Stuff

How would I list a seasonal attraction? (in this case a water park, theme park, and festival that are all only open for the summer)

Also what abo annual festivals?ut Nova 37 (talk) 15:09, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

• please take a look at Derby#Events to see a nice example of how this can be done. Ibaman (talk) 15:14, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

@Nova 37, for something like a water park that is only open in the summer, I usually put that information in the opening hours. See the third item in Grinnell#Do for an example. For a festival, if there's a settled schedule, I'd probably say something like "Third Saturday in September" (if it's always the same Saturday) or "usually late September" (if the exact date varies).
