Wikivoyage:Requested articles

This is a list of articles that do not yet exist on Wikivoyage. Please add links here, and delete those that have a proper article that is not just a link or a blank template.

Or - why not start the article yourself?

Requests should meet the What is an article? policy. For example, a location should normally have somewhere to eat, somewhere to sleep and at least one thing to see or do to deserve an article. A travel topic or itinerary must be within the scope of Wikivoyage.

Places

Africa

Ghana

• Mount Afadjato
• Lake Bosumtwi
• Kakum walkway
• Mount Cameroon — info on routes & multi-day hikes to the summit.

Morocco

• Khouribga - phosphate mining town also with a French colonial settlement history

Sudan

• Kerma, one of the largest and most ancient archeological sites in ancient Nubia

Americas

Canada

• Burin Peninsula (Fortune, Newfoundland as crossing point to St. Pierre and Miquelon)

I might be able to take on this project in the near future. I took a trip there a few years ago and have a great deal of pictures, insight, etc. to show for it. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 15:30, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Joliette has a cathedral and an art gallery which should be listed somewhere
• Matagami is a tiny place (w:Matagami) with a couple of hotels, but one of the few waypoints on the road to James Bay
• Sherbrooke (Nova Scotia) - primarily notable for a pioneer village living museum, but is a small place with few other amenities. Mahone Bay, a tiny seaport, is also worth a visit.
• A few individual towns on the main itinerary articles (such as the Trans-Canada Highway or Windsor-Quebec corridor) still redlink.
• Many of the national historic sites like Rocky Mountain House AB, York Factory and Batoche MB redlink, as does UNESCO-listed Grand-Pré NS.

United States of America

• Fishlake National Forest, in Utah – includes Pando, the heaviest and one of the oldest living organisms in the world
  • And Malheur National Forest in Oregon, home to the "humongous fungus" that's also a candidate for largest living organism
• Kiryas Joel, New York

Might not be a good candidate for its own article per wiaa. It's a tiny town without anything to really see or do, and nowhere to sleep. Also, the Hasidic community there is not especially welcoming of outsiders. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 18:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia, it has a population of more than 24,000 now. Seems, though, that in the U.S. there's nowhere else like it, so maybe it would be worth an article. But I have no intention to create it myself, since outside of what I see on Wikipedia I have no knowledge of the place. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:31, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

• Bolivar Peninsula — including Port Bolivar, and Crystal Beach
• many trails in the National Trails System

South America

• Isla Salas y Gómez / Isla Sala y Gómez
• Salvation's Islands/Îles du Salut: islands off the coast of French Guiana, formerly a penal colony and now a tourist destination

Asia

• Xe Bang Fai Cave in Khammouane/Khammuan (redirect), Central Laos
• Norther Tsenkher Cave, Hovd (province), Mongolia

Oceania

• Kuk Swamp archeological and UNESCO World Heritage site in Papua New Guinea providing evidence of agriculture 9000 years ago. Only a one-line listing in the broad highlands region article at the moment.

European

Czech Republic

• Moravian Wallachia

I'm unfamiliar with _Moravian_ Wallachia, but I presume that like the Romanian region of Wallachia, it would be spelled in English with a "W". Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:41, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

As quoted by Ikan Kekek it is Moravian Wallachia not Moravian Vallachia .SO i am changing V to W. It is a mountain region in Czech Republic. Sulthan90 (talk) 11:14, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

France

• Coulommiers, town known for a particular variety of Brie cheese
• Langres is a city in the Haute-Savoie region, which is, in a nutshell, a medieval city as uninterrupted by time as can be (aside inevitable inventions such as electricity and cars). Commons has some, though not many pictures of the city.

Ireland

• Spike Island, Europe's greatest attraction at the 2017 World Travel Awards in East Cork, County Cork

Norway

• Tysfjord in Nordland is mentioned at least in Hiking destinations in Norway and Caves, seems worth an article

Poland

• Lądek-Zdrój - lots of beautiful photos in Commons; look at the category for the town. Coverage of Poland is really deficient in general on this site. There are numerous important destinations that have no article, and others, like Kłodzko, which based on what's on Commons, deserve significantly longer and more detailed articles with more images.

Spain

• San Javier (Spain) - This should at least be a redirect to the nearest town. The Wikipedia article is a little thin, but their jazz festival seems pretty notable. Chick Corea's Akoustic Band played there last year. More information about cultural festivals in the town. I'm unsure this town deserves its own article, but it probably does. The Wikipedia article gives its population as of 2018 as 31,905. How many good eateries do you think the place has? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:10, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Sweden

• Smögen

Travel topics

Reasons to travel

• Convention planning overlaps business travel to a certain extent, but adds complexity as these are often large events.
• Freelance journalism isn't covered, although we have working abroad and we cover freelance tax collectors.
• Youth travel for travellers at age 15-26. When can youth discounts be expected? When is age limit an issue? (Many 20-year old Europeans are surprised that they cannot drink in the United States)
• Erasmus program / Studying in the European Union
• Couple travel - not necessarily honeymoon travel
• Adults-only travel destinations are a broad category which may need to be broken into smaller pieces. This might be "childfree" B&B's for those looking for peace and quiet, "couples-only resorts" for those looking to be alone together, or "topless"/"clothing optional"/"nude" activities which aren't appropriate for children (we already have "family-friendly" nudism at Naturism). There are also age restrictions (or restrictions against single people) with swingers travel, swingers cruises, swingers resorts and gender restrictions on venues like the "gay campground" or "lesbian resort" (we have LGBT travel, but it has no #Sleep section).
• Trade shows, Conferences and Conventions , three related reasons for travel that Wikivoyage currently has no overall article on.
• Chinese New Year; the main holiday of 1.4 billion people in the world's fastest growing economy - stubby outline exists

  We have Golden Week holidays in China, which covers the travel inconveniences related to this holiday—should the attractions and the inconveniences be combined in one article like we do for Ramadan? —Granger (talk · contribs) 11:23, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Understand

• Talk — see Wikivoyage:Requests for phrasebooks

Prepare

• Visa summary for U.S. citizens — A mirror of Visa summary for EU citizens
• Trusted traveller programmes — We have a few US-centric articles about Global Entry, NEXUS and the like but no broad, generic main topic and nothing on other countries (like the UK).
• Footwear/shoes, currently a subsection of clothing
• Computers/Portable computers; laptop computers and tablets. How to choose a useful model, pack them safely, get them through airport security, prevent theft etc
• Package tours provided by travel agencies, covering many destinations; in contrast to guided tours which cover one destination during one day
• Watches: functional watches, smartwatches, diving watches, issues with buying pirate watches, etc

Get in

• Charter flights are mentioned briefly in Transport#By plane, with little actual information; general aviation now has an article. Other forms of charter transportion (such as chartering boats or buses) have no more than a brief mention in passing; package tours redlinks.
• Vehicle delivery — Various schemes used by snowbirds to transport vehicles cross-country, from w:Auto Train to auto transporters and drive-away companies (some hire chauffeurs to drive the vehicle [including RV's, lorries and buses], some match vehicles to other travellers heading the same way, some haul motorcars and large-truck cabs using tractor-trailer rigs or car carriers). [1][2] is an overview.
• Marinas, boat rental, houseboats — we have a Marina article but it's a useless skeleton about some town in California. We have cruising on small craft but not sailing per se.
• The cruise ship article focuses on ocean cruising and ships. A parallel article (to be developed) would focus on river boat and barge canal cruising. River boats and barges offer more in-depth, close-up looks at many countries in their interiors.
• Entering the United States as the section in United States is getting bloated

Get around

• Bus travel in Mexico - probably the best and most extensive bus network in the world. spinning this of from the main Mexico#By bus_2 article would be a good idea imho. That way we can go into more detail while only leaving a brief overview in the main article
• Canada without a car, similar to United States without a car

Another approach would be to include information about Canada and change the name of the article to "North America without a car" or, to be more specific and avoid confusion about whether to include Mexico, "The U.S. and Canada without a car". Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

I like the idea, but would prefer whether our "experiment" USA "works" - imho it's on a good path, but not quite "there" yet... Hobbitschuster (talk) 18:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't think we should do "North America without a car". "United States without a car" covers enough different regions, let alone one article for "getting around without a car" that stretches from Panama to the Yukon. IMO "Canada without a car" should be a separate article. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:25, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Tour boats are missing, leaving a huge gap between cruise ships and boating/cruising on small craft. An outline on ferries was started, but it needs some love.
• Overland travel in Africa — Africa brings a host of different troubles & issues when compared to overland travel just about anywhere else in the world. Such a page should include issues with fuel, vehicles (2WD vs 4x4 & also limited spare parts/service available for various brands), road conditions, road-side camping, and cover the many border issues present along the continent. This page should also cover some of the common routes in the various regions, but especially in regions difficult to traverse or where there are only a couple viable routes—such as the Sahara, east-west travel between coastal Libya and Zambia (basically there are no routes, but for the truly adventurous N'Djamena-Abeche-Khartoum or Yaounde-Bangui-Kampala are possible), and trans-continental travel down the west coast (there's really only one viable route between Gabon & Angola). A Cycling the Western Sahara itinerary now exists.

• Trans-Sahara routes — Traveling across the Sahara is no doubt difficult and (often) dangerous. Having one page to cover all the different routes along with common modes of transport, border restrictions, and safety concerns would be very helpful in persons planning a grand overland trip across Africa and be much easier for overlanders than having to sift through info on (or which should be in) the pages of North Africa & Sahel countries. Could either be a page unto itself, or a section of the proposed Overland travel in Africa page

• Cruising the Southern Ocean — While much of the content of this guide should be included in the "Get in" section of Antarctica, it would be nice to have a page written from the perspective of cruising to Antarctica, South Georgia Island, and even the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. Topics to include: types of cruises (small or large vessel & associated pros/cons), costs, packing list, various procedures/regulations (cleaning to prevent contamination, zodiac boat rides), typical activities (wildlife viewing, kayaking, station visits, helicopter flights), ships, overview of places visited (Antarctic peninsula, Ross Sea, South Georgia Is., Falkland Islands, Tierra del Fuego), and routes (from Ushuaia, Punta Arenas, or Australia/New Zealand).
• Panama Canal by boat redlinks. Like the Suez Canal (which exists as Suez Route) it should have an article.
• All-terrain vehicle redirects to Activities; the section there provides no useful info beyond links to a few random country-level articles.

  Now it redirects to Offroad driving, also just mentioning them.

• Intercity buses in Britain - the network is a lot older than the French or German ones.
• Motorcycle taxi and Rickshaw redirect to a brief description in taxicabs; Tuk-tuk / Auto rickshaw and tricycle taxi redlink.
• Canals currently redirect to waterways:
  • Inland waterways in the United Kingdom, currently a stub, these are rather different from their European counterparts (and a lot smaller in some instances!). If there's a really interested party, specific waterways are probably best done as itineraries, (especially longer ones like the River Thames or Grand Union Canal (England) ) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
• Rail travel in Israel given the political commitment to expanding the network and strong passenger growth as well as the pervasiveness of sherut, Egged and hitchhiking in other guides, we could get a USP by improving our coverage there as well as filling a rather widening gap in coverage. Hobbitschuster (talk) 21:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Definitely an article that would help our efforts to make railroads great again. So yes, Hobbitschuster, is there anyone on Wikivoyage who at least has a decent knowledge of Israel's rail network? Selfie City (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• Yachting on the Mediterranean / Boating on the Mediterranean (compare Boating on the Baltic Sea)

We currently have Ferries in the Mediterranean, which was nominated for vfd in 2018 and was kept. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:49, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

• Ferries in the Caribbean — getting around other than by plane, huge cruise ship, or your own boat.
  • Is there enough there there? Hobbitschuster (talk) 20:37, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Ferry lines are (to my understanding) considerably more scarce than for instance in Europe or the archipelagoes of Southeast Asia, but as some exist, I'd be surprised if there aren't a few more of them. And because they're so scarce it could be useful for independent travelers planning an island-hopping voyage to have an overview of where they can find such ferries. Of course, if there are extremely few of them, it's probably best to collect them in Caribbean#By_boat_2 and make this a redirect. ϒpsilon (talk) 21:17, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Quite a lot, it seems, if this site is correct and up to date. Ypsilon (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

• Electric and hybrid cars - how regulation and charging opportunities differ between countries
• car free places in line with w:list of car-free places

Other architecture red links moved from Architecture#Architectural styles. These may not all be viable topics, but they didn't belong in that article.

• Classical architecture
• Romanesque architecture
• Eastern Orthodox church architecture
• Baroque architecture
• Art Nouveau architecture
• Modern architecture
• Socialist realist architecture
• Nazi architecture
• Byzantine architecture
• Mormon churches

• Amish culture. The people, communities, foods, furniture or other traditional handicrafts are mentioned in over a hundred pages. We have geographic destinations including Intercourse and Lancaster (Pennsylvania), but no broader context topic analogous to the one for touring Shaker country.
• African-American culture

Or perhaps even African-American history? --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 16:33, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

African-American history now exists. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:26, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

• Adivasi - India's indigenous people
• Ainu culture
• Anime and Manga in Japan an aspect of Japan's pop culture that lures tourists the world over.
• Bedouin/Bedouin culture - the nomadic peoples of Arabia
• Berber culture
• Gulag travel — Provide historical information, a listing of accessible sites, and various info (like accessibility, common restrictions, etc) about travel to gulags, mostly in Russia but there are a few in Kazakhstan too.
  • Basic information could be added to the Soviet Union article, which is now categorized under Historical travel. /Yvwv (talk) 20:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Many individual articles mention the 'gulag' prison system so the topic looks valid. Perhaps it should be a sub-topic added to our growing collection of Cold War articles.
  • Interesting topic... in theory. It does not sound like something the current government would appreciate. At least, do not mention this in a visa application. Actually, the current trend is to make information on the gulags less available and perhaps even disappear completely. Gulag travel does not go well in a country where Stalin even today is considered a great hero. Philaweb (talk) 18:28, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
• Khoi culture/Khoikhoi culture/Khoekhoe culture, San culture (Bushman culture)
• Kurdish culture - while Kurdistan exists as an article, it is unlikely to become a political entity in the near future; still the Kurds have a distinct culture, which can be found across a vast area of the Middle East
• Manhattan skyline guide — a New York City skyline guide styled after the Chicago skyline guide. Discussion moved to Talk:Manhattan skyline guide.
• Minority cultures of China - on the lines of Minority cultures of Russia
• Museums redlink and art galleries merely redirects to visual arts, an obvious gap.
  • And maybe specialist attractions such as Automotive museums.
  • Monuments, prehistoric sites, libraries and archives also all redlink.

Libraries and monuments are too broad. Even prehistoric sites and archives are pretty broad, so I'm not sure if these are as good travel topics as they seem. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Marine history would be another prominent subdivision to cover museums, we already have Old ships don't we? 10:22, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Museums is now a Usable article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

• Natural springs in Florida — An overview of the numerous springs in the state and what activities are available.
• Negrito culture in Philippines
• Ruins - what is left of a lot of architecture. Distinct from architecture in some ways
• Temples (currently redirects to religion and spirituality) and cathedrals (redlink)
  • Isn't at least the latter already covered in Christianity? Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:47, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Could be better covered, but that's down to people taking more time to develop that article. A lot of Gothic cathedrals are covered in the Gothic architecture article, though. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

• Royal palaces - royal families are somewhat covered in monarchies.
• Artisans and crafts - see pottery, jewels or handicrafts being made. (May also be "buy" if products are for sale.)
• Sightseeing in general; planning an independent sightseeing, finding appropriate guided tours, pros and cons of different modes of transport, etc
  • Imho this topic is too general. What non-obvious things are there to say about sightseeing that don't hugely depend on the sights themselves or the destination? Hobbitschuster (talk) 21:20, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I think we should remove this one from the list and redirect it to "Attractions". --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:51, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

• Ethnic enclaves — Chinatowns, Little Indias and other similar districts where you can (sort of) experience other cultures if you can't afford long-distance travel. ϒpsilon (talk) 04:29, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
• Megaliths: More than just Stonehenge
• Wildlife regions/Biogeographic regions (w:Biogeographic regions): We have African flora and fauna which describes wildlife in the Afrotropical realm. While the scientific terms for the biogeographic regions are less used in vernacular English, they could be called North American wildlife, Central and South American wildlife, Eurasian wildlife, South Asian wildlife, Australian wildlife, etc. Some smaller regions could deserve separate articles, such as the wildlife of Madagascar, etc.

I've created Biomes and ecosystems along those lines. Selfie City (talk) 00:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• Performance magic, Requested because there are a small number of prop museums, and of course there are venues such as those in Vegas where the purpose of a trip is to see a specific illusionist. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:16, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
• Jainism, if not described as a sub-topic of Hinduism
  • It is mentioned in Sacred_sites_of_the_Indian_sub-continent. But obviously it can also have its own article. Gizza ^(roam) 21:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
• Silk; farming, manufacturing, tailoring and historical sites

I think this fits pretty well in the "textiles" article, where it is mentioned now. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:55, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Baha'i Faith
• Performance art — above we have a suggestion for a Performance magic. Would it be a good idea to have a "collection" article for performance art including theater, different music performances etc.
  • I think an article like this would be a good idea, but I don't think it should be called "Performance art", because I think that term usually refers to more conceptual art that is of interest to a fairly specific, narrow audience, rather than normal theatrical performances, concerts, etc. Maybe Performing arts? —Granger (talk · contribs) 20:07, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Exactly. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

• Sustainable technology tourism, including industries and buildings which are forerunners in waste management, recycling, energy efficiency, clean power, pollution management and other pro-environmental technologies
  • Isn't that just a sub-topic of Industrial tourism? Hobbitschuster (talk) 13:21, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
• Kurorte in Germany, Spas in Central Europe, Spas in Europe, Belle Epoque health tourism or some such, have a look at w:de:Great Spas of Europe to get some idea what I am talking about - basically the places where the rich and the famous of the Victorian Age got their (real or imagined) illnesses cured and hobnobbed with the other rich and famous
• Religion in East Asia; preferrably covered in one article, as Buddhism is usually syncretized with local religions such as Taoism and Shinto

"Preferrably covered in one article". Who says? If these religions really have a lot in common, maybe call the article "Buddhism and Taoism" or something along those lines, but "Religion in East Asia" would also include a lot of Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia, along with Christians in the Philippines and South Korea. In other words, you can find followers of almost any religion in East Asia, so this really isn't the best travel topic idea in my opinion. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 02:42, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Historical travel

see also Talk:Historical travel#Requested articles

• Aztecs, currently a redirect to Indigenous cultures of North America
• Stately homes, châteaux and Schloss

• Château (though usually without the circumflex) is used in English, but the German word Schloss is not and, therefore, presumably shouldn't be in any titles in English-language Wikivoyage. Perhaps "Villas and Château" would cover the topic? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:37, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
• Shouldn't that be "Villas and Châteaux" (plural)? K7L (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

• Of course. Typo on my part. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:48, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

• I am not sure I like any of the proposed titles. But maybe that is just me having been ignorant for the longest time that the distinction Burg/Schloss (the former largely a defensive and the latter largely an ornamental residence of some blue blooded person) does in fact exist in English, even though the language of Shakespeare needed to make use of a very un-Anglo word for that. Hobbitschuster (talk) 00:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

See Grand and Great houses ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

• Historic monuments; currently redirects to historical travel

IMO think it's too broad a topic. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 20:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

• Holy Roman Empire; we have a gargantuan hole in our series of European history. Austro-Hungarian Empire does touch upon the topic. Perhaps Medieval Europe needs an article on its own, too.
  • Franks / Frankish Empire too. Vikings and the Old Norse mentions the Normans. /Yvwv (talk) 19:48, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
• Maritime history - compare with Aviation history
• Nok culture - Iron Age civilization of West Africa
• Inca Empire (including Inca Trail etc)
• Organized labor
• Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
• War of 1812 currently redirects to Early United States history, which lists almost entirely US eastern seaboard cities - ignoring the British stronghold in Canada, ignoring whatever was going on in the UK or Europe at the time.
• American Revolution also simply redirects to Early United States history. Apparently, it would be a viable travel topic which should cover the thirteen colonies' secession from the Egyptian, Chinese or Islamic empires?
• European Route of Industrial Heritage w:European Route of Industrial Heritage
• Revolutionary history - visit the sites of the French Revolution, the 1830 Revolution, the life and travels of George Washington, on the trail of Francisco de Miranda (who was everywhere and talked to everyone) or myriad other topics. Do a crossing of the Andes like José de San Martin or retrace the exile-triumph-exile cycle of Simon Bolivar.

• I think you'd agree, that's an overbroad topic and will work better as subtopic articles. Would there be enough for an article about the 1848 Revolution? What about Spanish Civil War sites? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:34, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

• oh for sure. I'd make the main article an overview. As for 1848 - I don't know. Hobbitschuster (talk) 09:12, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

• Modern Japanese history - past pre-modern Japan
• The Troubles. I don't know if I'm actually requesting this; instead, I'd like to discuss it. I just deleted a link to the Wikipedia article about this horrible time in the history of Northern Ireland, but I had the thought that although the topic is delicate, it might make sense at some point to create a travel topic for people who would like more insight into The Troubles. For example, in Belfast, they should see the murals on the Protestant and Catholic sides of the city and go to the memorial for Catholic martyrs near the former wall. I don't know if it's too soon for there to be such a topic, though, in view of the hard feelings on both sides and continuing tension. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

An interesting prospect for a topic. According to Wikivoyage:Naming conventions we avoid the in article names including travel topic. Our article on the Holocaust is named Holocaust remembrance. Could we find a suitable name for this article? /Yvwv (talk) 11:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

I wonder if we have enough regular contributors editing destinations in Northern Ireland and Ireland to be confident of producing balanced correctly nuanced coverage of a sensitive area of recent history. It would be better to cover a longer period from the w:Easter Rising (or earlier) to the w:Good Friday Agreement. The events of 1916 in Dublin are more easily viewed as history than the bombing in Omagh in 1998. AlasdairW (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

A broader topic as you outlined would be fine, and segments of it could always be spun off whenever it gets long. In terms of nomenclature, though, if the topic on the Holocaust didn't have the word "remembrance" in it, we could easily use the phrase "Nazi Holocaust", but in this case, "The" is always used and "Troubles" wouldn't make sense. So per ttcf and as an exception like The Hague, we should use "The" in the title if we go with this topic. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Fiction tourism

See Talk:Fiction tourism#Requested topics for additional proposed topics.

• Doctor Who tourism
• Jane Austen tourism
• I've Been Everywhere the Australian country song that lists all of the destinations that the singer Lucky Starr has been to. Adapted to other countries (New Zealand, Canada, US, UK) by singers like Hank Snow and Johnny Cash. See the wikipedia article for more info.

Reality television

• The Amazing Race tourism - either a travel topic or itinerary. The only issue is that there are many seasons (over 30) and about 20-30 cities are visited each season.

Unrealistic, because as the person posting the suggestion said, there are hundreds and hundreds of places to be listed (see w:The_Amazing_Race_(American_TV_series)#Series_overview for links to WP articles of each season). Ypsilon (talk) 14:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Do

• 4H / 4-H
• Alpine touring / ski touring (compare with Telemark skiing)
• Association football in South America/Association football in Latin America, bit of a gap when soccer and association football redirect to Association football in Europe
• Bandy
• Baseball in Japan, modelled after Baseball in the United States
• Ballooning currently redirects to Air sport#Ballooning, which has little or no content; Activities#Hot air balloons is no better.
• Busking / Street performance
• Canoeing and kayaking. There is Sea kayaking (kayak redirects there), Whitewater sports, Canoeing the San Marcos River and Cruising on small craft. Cruising on small craft only shortly mentions sea kayaking. Canoeing along quiet rivers and minor lakes could very well have its own article (an outline created as Canoeing), Sea kayaking and Whitewater sports should be expanded significantly.
• Carnivals. Mardi Gras redirects to the one in New Orleans but there are hundreds of such festivals around the world
• Country music
• Disaster tourism is marginal for inclusion (Wikipedia has w:Disaster tourism focussed largely on Hurricane Katrina); yes there's an official Chornobyl tour but is this really worth exposing and re-exposing your guides to atomic radiation?
• Deep sea or Submarines
• Doctor Who tour
• Drive-in cinemas. (We have amusement parks and drive-in restaurants are already somewhat covered as "car hop" in the fast food article.)
• Drone photography — sub-article to travel photography. We also have little more than a disambiguation for wildlife photography.
• DXpeditions — deployment of amateur and two-way radio stations in next-to-impossible destinations‎ on a portable or temporary basis
• Extreme sports — Base jumping, ice cross downhill and such.
  • Redirect to sport. These activities are probably best categorized under air sport, water sport, winter sport, etc.
• Electronic music / DJ events / Rave — some overlap with nightlife
• Firearms redlinks, but we have hunting and recreational shooting.
• Gaelic football
• Gamelan
• Geocaching — currently a redirect to Travel activities, which only has a couple sentences on the subject
• Heavy metal - some overlap with [[rock and roll] but could be distinct enough

Site search results for NASCAR. This is a popular sport and definitely merits an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Let's make a redlink for NASCAR, then. ϒpsilon (talk) 18:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

• Opera currently redirects to European classical music

• Why do you think it should have its own separate topic? It might ultimately merit being separated, but let's see how things go. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:38, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

• Parkour / Free running
• Planespotting
• Polka
• Folk music of the British Isles and pop music on the British Isles, or by Ireland/Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales
• Music of the United States, similar to Music on the British Isles Music in Britain and Ireland

In my opinion, too broad a topic. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:44, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Reggae
• Rhythm and blues, soul music, blues - sites related to popular music history from the 1950s to today. (Rock and roll and Jazz were created in 2018.)
• Roller sport/Roller sports/Skateboarding/Roller skating
• Samba
• Sepak takraw - big sport in Southeast Asia (w:Sepak takraw)
• Fan conventions / science fiction conventions, etc – the main topic conventions (and convention planning) also redlinks.
• Scouting; about how to travel with help of the international Scout movement (international camps, lodging, hospitality exchange etc.). Some info in Summer camp
• Sumo
• Tattoos; possibly the most lasting kind of souvenir
• Tennis: A sport that is both played and watched on holiday
• Travel selfies/selfies: As a subtopic of travel photography. A key component of travel among the social media generation.

  Is it taking selfies that is the main point, or should it be about cameras of smart phones and similar, in the same way as full systems are handled in their own article? If the former it should perhaps rather be part of a series about choosing how to compose your photos: how do you make your image of the Notre-Dame interesting – with the cathedral as a selfie background or otherwise.

  Good points. I was thinking of two things when I proposed this. 1. taking a high quality selfie - what background you should have, how you should take it including the angle, zoom, poses, etc. but also the tools so which smartphone or proper camera (I think modern cameras have selfie modes) and selfie sticks/drones. And 2. the safety issues with taking selfies, since there are sadly stupid people who put themselves in dangerous situations like standing at an edge of a cliff. I was thinking of a similar article to wildlife photography. These were some articles I found on other sites [3] [4] [5] [6] although some of theses article talk about taking photos when you're alone which overlaps but is not the same thing. Gizza ^(roam) 00:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Obviously, my opinion would be naturally important here considering my username, although actually I am not a big selfie person. But this article could make sense for a travel guide. Selfie City (talk) 17:50, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

• Visiting pygmy settlements — the name "pygmy" is the commonly-used name (although technically a derogatory slur) for the short-statured people not of Bantu descent who live in isolated villages across Central Africa. This guide would provide an overview of locations to visit their settlements in the countries of Central Africa and general activities & accommodations when visiting along with how to reach them.
• Water parks, subset of amusement parks
• Water skiing / water-skiing
• Winter in Russia, and Winter in Mongolia. Similar to Winter in the Nordic countries. Gizza ^(roam) 10:43, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Learn

• Learning a language abroad — some overlap with—or maybe a subsection of—Studying abroad...this section would cover how to find good language programs, types of programs, length and advantages/disadvantages of length of study. It should also discuss pure language programs versus combining language studies/exercise with work, other studies (e.g. exchange programs) or vacation activities and how prior knowledge of the language influences the choices. Previously attempted at language tourism, which currently points to a single paragraph of travel activities.

Work

• Working holiday — currently redirects to one section of working abroad. Should cover the various work-holiday schemes available in countries like E.U., Australia, NZ, US. We have gap year travel, which may overlap slightly. There are many pitfalls by which itinerant workers may be exploited abroad.
• WWOOFing — "Willing workers on organic farms", the WWOOF page is a redirect (after vfd discussion). There is a brief mention in Volunteer travel and a good article about agrotourism in general, but no topic page specifically about working on farms.

WWOOF is just one network or organisation; why limit this? We have working abroad but not an article specific to working on farms. The Australian backpacker visa programme, for instance, is worth at least a mention. K7L (talk) 00:50, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

• Temporary work / seasonal work / Odd jobs - informal (but not illegal) work outside the scope of working abroad and business travel, such as street performing, restaurant and bar jobs, ski or watersport coach, tour guide, etc

Buy

• Buying electronics abroad — overlaps region coding, electrical systems and mobile telephones, but a huge chunk of United States of America#Buy seems to be devoted to buying various incompatible electronic baubles and bringing them home on the off-chance one will work. This content is a candidate to be split out of the country article to a new or existing travel topic. See Talk:United States of America#Buying a mobile phone.

-Much of United States of America#Buy has been moved to Shopping in the United States.

• Carpet shopping — Travelers encounter carpets for sale across the Middle East, Caucasus, Central Asia, & the Indian subcontinent. Carpets can vary dramatically in price and finding a good carpet can be tough for the inexperienced traveler. This guide should include background info on carpets in history, a discussion of the differences between regions, how to assess the quality of a carpet, and info relevant to the traveler considering purchasing a carpet (price, where to find the best deals, how to ship home, overview of customs issues & restrictions on export). There are currently small bits on carpets in Silk Road and at Turkmenistan#Rugs, perhaps other articles.

Can be branched off from textiles.

• Dog adoption - general advice how to find serious agents abroad
• Fashion - In other words where to purchase something special, as opposed to the practical day to day clothing the traveller packs for a trip away. As discussed in the travellers pub, there are a number of centers globally which are places specifically known for their connection with fashion. An article about buying a Kimono is already present. I've put this under Buy as I felt that this would be where the focus of a topic would be. There may be some overlap with See/Do, given that a topic on Fashion could also cover Costume History. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:24, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
  • We can start building on the Clothing artilce. /Yvwv (talk) 23:49, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
• Jewellery shopping/Jewelry shopping. Buying niche gemstones, etc. not common in your hometown or country and where you lack experience and specialist knowledge. Tips on how to assess and get the highest quality for the best price.
• Wool - traditional craft of woolen clothing, and exclusive fabrics such as merino, alpacca and camel hair
• Watches - Where to buy expensive watches; watches good for different purposes (sport watches, cheap generic watches which can be afford to be lost), risks of carrying pirate watches through customs
• Records and audio equipment - Vinyl records, vintage audio systems, as well as modern Bluetooth equipment; some connection with music, nostalgia, art and antiques shopping and electrical systems

Eat/Drink

• Dinner trains and dinner cruises. We have rail travel with some info on dining cars, but dinner cruises are usually boat tours on Gilligan's Island sized three-hour runs (longer trips are addressed at cruise ships, which are floating hotels with restaurants).

  Would the latter suite in Tour boats? I think the point of getting your dinner at sea is to view the landscape/sights, so including there would be natural.

  Tourist trains has been created with a short section on dinner trains; discussion moved to Talk:Tourist trains#Dinner trains.

What about dinner cruises though? Hobbitschuster (talk) 19:37, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

• Roadside diners are technically not fast food as they offer table service, but occupy a price point between a fast-food joint and a standard restaurant.

And they represent a niche in North American cuisine that, while rarely recognized as such, is actually quite distinct. And many of them are notable for quirky midcentury architecture/interior design. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 19:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

We have an article on Truck stops, perhaps the scope of this (at the moment rather short) article could be expanded to include roadside diners and other places to eat catering to car and bus travelers. ϒpsilon (talk) 04:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

You might find the Roadfood website a useful source of information about some of these. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Cuisine articles by country or supra-national region, as these are probably what travellers look for:

• Cuisines of Africa

Way too broad a topic and almost smacks of ethnocentrism to me. Would you suggest a "Cuisines of Asia" or "Cuisines of Europe" article? Africa is a vast continent with great variety. What would hold this kind of article together? Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia describes Wikipedia:African cuisine by sub-region. Probably the North African cuisine, West African cuisine, East African cuisine and Southern African cuisine would be useful articles. /Yvwv (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

• American Chinese food once existed as a redirect to, of all things, the "Chinese" subsection of San Francisco#Eat. It was (rightly, IMO) VfD'd in 2014, but I think it's a worthwhile travel topic especially for visitors from China or elsewhere who might be surprised at how the local variations of popular dishes differ from what they're used to. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 16:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
• Balkan cuisines / Cuisines of the Balkans
• Vietnamese food/Vietnamese cuisine
• Turkish cuisine

• Isn't Middle Eastern cuisine largely an extension of Turkish cuisine? Of course, there are regional cuisines in Turkey. I'd suggest increasing coverage of Turkish food in the Middle Eastern cuisine article and then thinking about spinning off a separate article if that seems most user-friendly. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:43, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

A few cuisine types are not tied to a single region:

• Fast food (we have the regional subtopic fast food in North America and there's likely some overlap with Street food).
• Tequila, currently a destination.
• Rum, currently a destination
• Cider
• Cocktails
• Honey/Bee tourism/Beekeeping
• Ice cream, gelato, etc. Ditto
• Herbs and spices

Also, there's a lot to write about the history of spices, including the spice trade a few centuries ago, where certain spices and herbs are from, how and when they spread around the world etc.

• Sake; The Other Site has an extensive article named Japanese sake tourism; if we reverse-engineer it with anorther title, we will probably not be penalized by search engines

• Travelling on a low fat diet, Travelling on a low carbohydrate diet, Travelling on a diet (potentially others); similar to how we have travel as a vegetarian

• I am now on a pretty strict ketogenic diet and have traveled with it for close to a month (3 weeks in California and Oregon and what will be a week in Upstate New York), and I've lost around 15 pounds in that time plus a couple of weeks at home, without starving myself in the least. Should I start a Travelling on a low carbohydrate diet article? Before I do, what if any concerns do you have about how the article should be written? Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:52, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• • Travelling on a gluten-free diet could be another variation on the theme, providing extremely important information for sufferers of celiac and other gluten-related disorders. Vidimian (talk) 23:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: In my opinion, it would make the most sense to create a Travelling on a diet article with sections that cover different types of diets. Selfie City (talk) 01:45, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

We already have a dedicated article on Kashrut, so what kinds of diets are being subsumed here? A keto diet such as I am on is for health, but celiac folks absolutely cannot have gluten in even one meal without getting violently ill, so the urgency of the diet is different. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:10, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I think Kashrut/kosher is an exception; the number of people on the diet justifies the article's existence. It would be interesting to find statistics comparing how many people are on each diet so we can get an idea about which would be the most useful to the traveler. Selfie City (talk) 01:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

I think any special diet would make a good article. If you're one of 100 people in the world who has to follow an oregano-free diet, and you find the article on travelling without coming in contact with oregano in Wikivoyage (don't go to Italy), you'd be pretty happy. Ground Zero (talk) 03:43, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

And low-carb diets are quite common. I think I'll just start the article soon, and anyone can edit it, anyway. Avoiding gluten for celiac folks should be its own article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:06, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

If you were able to expand it to include other controlled carbohydrate diets the appeal of the article would be widened, at least until we get a Travelling with Diabetes article. I expect that many of the issues are similar whether you are trying to eat <10g or close to 50g of carbohydrate for lunch, but I could be wrong. However don't let me distract you from creating a useful article. AlasdairW (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

All sorts of diets are common. Low carb, low fat, even low protein for people who only have one functioning kidney. They would benefit some travellers out there. Gizza ^(roam) 23:16, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank God I don't have diabetes, and my current diet is likely to stave it off, so I can't easily address diabetes directly, but I'll start the article tonight, and I'd welcome any help from anyone who wants to address diabetes specifically. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:36, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

• Sugar - everything related to sugarcane, sugar beets, other sugar plants, their cultivation and processing, rum and other uses of the said plants including the connection with slavery and whatnot
• Fungi/Mushrooms; according to modern taxonomy, they are not vegetable. While yeast and molds are catalytic ingredients in many dishes, an article on fungi would mainly deal with the mushrooms; the spore-bearing bodies of fungi consumed as food. /Yvwv (talk) 19:42, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

  Biologically they're not plants, but from a culinary perspective they're vegetables, right? I think we could start with a section in Fruits and vegetables and see how it goes. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:24, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Sleep

• Overview on booking Gîtes de France - currently just a section in the main France article and a disambig to Québec's B&B houses at gîte
• A few less-common accommodation types listed at sleep (such as cabins, cottages, hunting/fishing outfitters camps) don't have individual articles yet. Campground redirects to camping, which has about a paragraph on the topic.
• There is no room service. Garçon?

Cope

• Saving time - how a busy traveller can avoid wasting precious hours on connections, slow-service restaurants and rest areas

Doesn't Time management cover this? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Connect

• Smartphone use abroad/Travelling with mobile phones — the telephone service page was split to create mobile telephone and Internet telephony, but information on mobile Internet access is outdated, poorly-organised and split across multiple topics. This is closely related to buying electronics abroad as a "Buy" topic and heavily overlaps "Connect" and "Buy" sections in individual country articles.
• Facsimile service — also dying, but taking its sweet time to completely go away.

Stay healthy

• Food safety — currently redirects to stay healthy, should discuss safe handling of food & various precautions...some overlap with Infectious diseases#Water (or contaminated food) and #Food and Travellers' diarrhea
• Immunization is a redirect, the topic is mentioned (as "vaccination") in stay healthy
• Travelling with diabetes — Travelling with high blood pressure was recently created and while we probably shouldn't have articles for each and every illness, diabetes is fairly common and requires travellers to take into consideration many things (meals, meal times, carrying medicine and syringes and other equipment etc.).
• Optometry and ophthalmology - glasses, contact lenses, optometric surgery etc

• Eye care would seem to be a perfect topic match. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:48, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

• Motion sickness – carsickness, airsickness, and seasickness (not sure if these should be covered in one article or split into three)

Stay safe

• Corruption / bribes — Currently both redirect (along with trouble with authorities) to Stay safe. Authority trouble was deleted, but deserves a new chance. A traveller could use advice how to deal with corruption, police brutality, unlawful detention, or charges of crime.
• While an article on marijuana has been started at cannabis, drugs merely disambiguates and smoking redirects to tobacco.
• Fire safety in hotels and on campgrounds; we have a page on wildfires only.
• Sea piracy is mentioned in a few currently-affected or historic destinations, but as a hazard it broadly affects entire regions (Somalia in particular has spread its pirates hundreds of miles) and may therefore be best as a travel topic.
• Touts — "special price only for you my friend...", perhaps it'd be good to have a page with some tactics for a first-time visitor to e.g. Tangier how to lose them before you lose your nerves. Ignoring touts doesn't always help or may not be possible.
• Upland terrain - An article on Avalanches is mentioned previously here, but a more general stay safe article aimed at mountainous and upland terrain should be considered, some overlap with Altitude Sickness and Cold weather. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:24, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • There is some overlap between mountain ranges, mountaineering, and rock climbing. Every article should make clear its relationship to the others. /Yvwv (talk) 16:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Respect

• Indigenous people, instead of being an article on responsible travel or respecting native ways and customs, merely redirects to cultural attractions. In a travel context, is related to the concept of ethnotourism.

It now redirects to Ethnic groups, which has links to some more related topics. Selfie City (talk) 00:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• Taboo, broad and difficult topic to begin writing about. Perhaps respect isn't the best section but hard to place. There may be some overlap with culture shock (see above). Gizza ^(roam) 14:12, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
• Houseguest etiquette, including some of the ways that it varies by culture
• Cheek kissing, the standard greeting in much of Europe and Latin America, usually confusing for English-speakers. Included with Respect, or another topic? /Yvwv (talk) 16:05, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

• I'm thinking the article would be one on how to greet and take leave of people (what to do when you say "Hello" and "Goodbye"). I suppose the overall title could be "Greeting people" or something like that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Transportation

• Flying to Europe - many people travel to Europe for work and travel.
• Flying in Europe - This article should not be part of the Europe page because many Europeans travel for work and vacation to the Mediterranean during the summer months. Currently a redirect.
• Flying between Europe and the United States - There are many flights between Europe and the United States for travel and business.
• Flying Budget in the United States - most notably, Southwest.

- Why should we split up Flying in the United States? Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• Flying Budget in Europe - most notably, easyJet and Ryanair.

- there previously was a series on low cost airlines which was deemed so bad it only narrowly escaped outright deletion and was instead redirected to air travel on a budget Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• Flying to South America - We have one for Africa, why can't we have one for South America?

Itineraries

Africa

• Uganda Railway — (w:Uganda Railway) A tropical version of the Transsib, the railway was built a century ago in the middle of nowhere with much trouble. It was one of the main tourist lines in East Africa when completed. While trains nowadays only run on a part of this railway, it could still make for an interesting itinerary. ϒpsilon (talk) 16:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
• Tangier to Cape Town overland — we have Alexandria to Cape Town by train and bus which is a surprisingly good outline, so maybe it would be possible to create a transcontinental itinerary along the west coast of Africa too? Ypsilon (talk) 15:01, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Asia

• Macau Heritage Walk, mentioned at Macau/Peninsula#See (or some other walk through the Macau Peninsula's historic areas)
• Mekong River
• Xuanzang's Journey to the West - the famous Chinese Buddhist monk's travels to Central Asia and India

Europe

• Via Appia / Appian Way
  • Via Egnatia would nicely complement this. Vidimian (talk) 18:28, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
• Big In Sweden [7] compare (Big things in Australia)
• The Bridge tour in Copenhagen and Malmö (mentioned in Nordic Noir)
• SKAM Tour in Oslo
• On the trail of Kéraban Agha — I have yet to read Kéraban-le-têtu in any language, but travelling the full cincumference of the Black Sea to get from one side of the Bosphorus to the other sounds like a brilliant idea, and is certainly done by a number of travellers in real life. This particular novel by Jules Verne is mentioned in an infobox at Istanbul/Asian Side#Get in. Vidimian (talk) 18:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
• Crossing the Alps on foot - something popular not only among experimental archeologists (who do the whole thing with about 40 kg of gear and armor), but increasingly a certain type of hikers. Parts of the route(s) are also popular with more classical tourists. Crossing the Alps by bike could also be an interesting itinerary / travel topic
• Gastarbeiterroute (or any other term, though this seems to be the most commonly used German term) for what en-wp covers here (though check out de-WP if you read German at all) - the route on which migrant workers from Southeast Europe and Anatolia traveled to the latter region from Germany and Austria
• Hadrian's Wall Path, a UK National Trail along Hadrian's Wall. Some good information could be gathered from w:Hadrian's Wall Path as a start.
• Via Alpina
• The Ridgeway (England), a UK national trail of some 87 km in length, I'm considering attempting to draft this in my userspace at some point, but if someone wants to start an itinerary separately, I've no objections. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
• Großglockner Hochalpenstrasse (some variant spellings are currently redirects; one of which was merged into High Tauern National Park back in 2007); one of the most famous high alpine roads and a challenge for both motorists and cyclists.
• Scotch whisky route - already a very nice article coming together en français, which could be translated. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 18:39, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
• Route Napoleon / Route Napoléon
  • What exactly is that? And could it be covered in or linked from Napoleonic Wars? Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:49, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Possibly it can be covered in Napoleonic Wars, though it's still an itinerary. When Napoleon was defeated for the first time, the Coalition exiled him on the island of Elba but he managed to escape after less than a year. He was then at large for 100 days, moving north secretly along paths in the French Alps nowadays known as Route Napoleon and gathered a new army which was finally beaten at Waterloo. ϒpsilon (talk) 17:03, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

• Across Yugoslavia, Ljubljana to Skopje or something like that. Now made up of 7 countries, Yugoslavia was one single country during most of the 20th century, and a route from end to end of this former country via historically important places from that era could be an interesting itinerary. -- ϒψιλον (talk) 17:20, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Perhaps along the w:Brotherhood and Unity Highway, named after Yugoslavia's wishful (and sadly turned out to be delusional) slogan, although that route skipped seemingly interesting parts in Dalmatia, and the entirety of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Kosovo. Vidimian (talk) 19:12, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
• London LOOP (w:London Outer Orbital Path), 150 mi/242 km long-distance trail around London which I stumbled upon when wandering around Wikipedia. Looks like something worth an itinerary article, and as London is one of the cities Wikivoyage covers best, perhaps we have some contributor(s) familiar with this path? --Ypsilon (talk) 16:28, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

• Portlandia Tour, for the comedy series set in Portland (Oregon)
• Boston Post Road - an old Amerindian trail between Boston and New York City improved by early U.S. colonists to facilitate mail delivery. Now serves as the main street of many of the towns between those two cities, where many buildings from the Colonial and Revolutionary eras still stand (along with the many of the mileposts placed along the route in the 18th Century). Large portions of the route are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and/or as National Historic Landmarks.

The Lower Post Road, which connects the Bronx with Providence, RI, is part of US Route 1. I suppose you want to cover the Upper Post Road? Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:04, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

1) Ideally we would cover all three of them. Some information for the Lower Post Road might be adapted from the US Route 1 article, but we'd want to place special emphasis on the Colonial- and Revolutionary-era historical relics you'll see along the way, rather than merely giving a generalized description of the route.

2) How is an article like US Route 1 allowable per policy anyway? We're not supposed to have articles on roads, and US-1 not particularly well-known as a tourist itinerary in its own right, like Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway are.

-- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 04:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Why not? Driving on Route 1 gives the driver and passenger an experience of what a main road used to be like around 60-100 years ago. You drive through a lot of centers of towns, and also through countryside and old-fashioned strip malls - some of them in the center of the highway in New Jersey. But you probably know that, since you want to have an article about part of Route 1. Also, see Talk:U.S. Highway 1. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

That's kind of a stretch, but seeing as I'm not a huge fan of the anti-"road article" policy to begin with, I'll leave it alone. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 05:38, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Looks like the U.S. cable network C-SPAN already did something like this, but with a focus on the political philosophies he discussed in his book rather than being geared toward travellers. This ought to sharply reduce the amount of research necessary to determine what route he took. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 22:01, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

• Life on the Mississippi Tour - The first half of the book sees Mark Twain reminiscing on his experiences as a steamboat pilot plying the Mississippi River between St. Louis and New Orleans in the 1850s. The second half has him making the same trip around 1883 and remarking on the changes that had taken place on the river (and in American life in general) in the interim. Our article might start with a discussion of long-distance riverboat cruises or other present-day ways to retrace the route, then go on to the itinerary itself where for each major city along the way we'd give historical overviews of what the place was like in both of the time periods relevant to the book, as well as what's around to attract visitors today. For the latter, we might emphasize historical attractions representing time periods roughly contemporaneous with Twain's career (i.e. restored antebellum homes in Natchez, the Vicksburg National Military Park, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis as starting point for Lewis and Clark's voyage and symbolic Gateway to the West) but also include more generalized tourist sites (Graceland in Memphis, the French Quarter). -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 19:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
• Scandinavian American Tour in the trails of real-life Swedish, Norwegian and Danish settlers, as well as historical fiction, such as The Emigrants by Vilhelm Moberg. /Yvwv (talk) 23:26, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
• Cabot Trail around Cape Breton, New Scotland is mentioned in a few places but redlinks
• Frank Lloyd Wright Trail in Wisconsin, as covered in this recent Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 00:37, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
• Grapes of Wrath
• Route 101 / U.S. Route 101
• National Road (w:National Road)
• Sherman's March to the Sea - the most famous military campaign in US history, passing through Georgia (State) and still debated among historians and laypeople alike for its military genius and moral implications of waging "total war"

Oceania

• Australia the Film - in the tracks of Baz Luhrmann's film

South America

• On the trail of Che Guevara
  • What is meant by that? His route through South America as a twenty-something or something after he had been to Cuba? Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:27, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
  • This would likely be an itinerary of the book The Motorcycle Diaries. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 02:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
• Trans-Amazonian Highway

Central America

• Central America by bike - lots of people seem to tour all or part of Central America by bike. This article could focus on the "obvious" route mostly along Carreterra Panamericana, but also suggest deviations, side trips or alternative routes. Information on whether to bring or buy a bike and the potential resale value as well as the availability of competent repair personnel and spare parts would also be much appreciated. Information on which roads to avoid and how to behave in traffic as well as legalities and practicalities on border crossing and ferry trips can't do no harm either

Intercontinental

• International Appalachian Trail - extension of the U.S. Appalachian Trail into Canada, Greenland, and Scotland, with further extensions proposed for elsewhere in Western Europe and North Africa. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 15:32, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
• On the trail of Alexander the Great — a great journey from Greece to Egypt to India to Central Asia, this would complement well with our various historical/extra-hierarchical articles of Central & South Asian regions as well as with Ancient Greece. Besides, we have already more than 50 destination articles mentioning the Macedonian in one way or another. A passing mention about this itinerary was made in this discussion and I'm nearly sure somewhere else earlier as well, but cannot find it now. Vidimian (talk) 00:47, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
• All-Red Route, a trip circling the globe entirely via current or former British Empire and Commonwealth nations. According to w:All-Red Route, "The major All-Red Route ran Southern Britain → Gibraltar → Malta → Alexandria → Port Said → Suez Canal → Aden → Muscat → India → Sri Lanka → Burma → Malaya → Singapore" continuing "towards Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and other British colonies." Closing the loop Australia → New Zealand → British Columbia (and across Canada by train or Trans-Canada Highway) → Newfoundland → Ireland/UK could create an Empire-themed historical world tour. Compare Around the World in Eighty Days.
• Mongol Rally - alternatively a travel topic. Sounds more interesting than your average rich people in fancy cars racing through the mud kind of rally. See Wikipedia for some of the background.
• Sailing around the world/Circumnavigation. Cruising on small craft has information on what kind of craft and equipment you need, Hitchhiking boats says something about typical routes, as do some Wikipedia articles (Circumnavigation, Clipper route, ...) and Around the world overland may also have some information. See also Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation.

I've redirected these suggestions to Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:21, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

...which is no use to anyone looking for info on how to make the trip today. K7L (talk) 22:26, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

...Except that it gets them around the world. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 23:00, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Not with their own vessel. The article only says that would be the most authentic way. I said in the edit summary when reverting the removal of this entry: "None of the suggested articles covers the suggested topic". The Elcano article does not even say whether the route is feasible or whether the waypoints are reachable by boat today, much less to what extent it is the route modern yachts take. --LPfi (talk) 08:00, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I've changed the redirects to go to Cruising on small craft and Around the world overland. —Granger (talk · contribs) 08:20, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure most sailors that go around the globe don't try to replicate Magellan's and Elcano's voyage exactly but instead want to take a more optimal route and/or visit more places on the beaten path. Likewise, I believe most travelers interested in this trip lack the time, skills and/or resources to travel it by sailing boat. Therefore: it's not the right article to redirect circumnavigation to. Round the world overland is a much better alternative, although circumnavigation could certainly merit its own article if we eventually get a contributor that knows about the subject (long distance sailing is not that uncommon). --ϒpsilon (talk) 11:58, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

• The Trail of Ibn Battuta 14th century Moroccan explorer widely considered to be one of the greatest travellers and explorers of all time
• Voyages of James Cook. Alternatively we could make a separate itinerary for each of his three voyages.
• Journeys of Greta Thunberg

As Greta is still a living person, I think that we would need to approach this very carefully, or wait 100? years. As we are thin on policy in this area, I think that w:Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons should be considered. AlasdairW (talk) 18:55, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Not only are there BLP issues but Thunberg isn't really an explorer or traveller. We do have a few biography itineraries of people who were not explorers but an article on this topic would open up the possibility of thousands (if not tens of thousands) of itineraries on equally famous people. Gizza ^(roam) 02:51, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Indeed, Thunberg isn't really famous for traveling per se. For people interested in working on this general topic, I suggest putting that energy into related travel topics, especially Sustainable travel, but also Responsible travel, Round the world overland, Travel as a vegetarian, Leave-no-trace camping, etc. I would love to see Sustainable travel become FTT. —Granger (talk · contribs) 05:09, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

• Journeys of Harry Söderman; Swedish adventurer who travelled through Asia in the interwar years, led the Norwegian resistance during World War II, and went on to found the post-war police force of Sweden, Norway and West Germany
• Voyages of Zheng He - the most famous Chinese maritime explorer

  We could start with a translation of zh:鄭和第一次下西洋的足跡, about his first voyage. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:24, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• Wikivoyage:Cooperating with other language versions of Wikivoyage - there's some brief, bare-bones guidelines at Wikivoyage:Policies#Other language Wikivoyage projects, but IMO we're long overdue to flesh them out and give the topic its own project page. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 23:47, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
• Wikivoyage:Travel topics redlinks, but should be a help page like Wikivoyage:Itineraries. Wikivoyage:Namespace index lists a few project pages like this which don't exist but are proposed.

Travel topics are probably too heterogeneous and freeform in structure for a one-size-fits-all help page to be of much use. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 17:15, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

It could at least give pointers. We do have guidelines that affect travel topics, and one could give good examples in different categories as inspiration. --LPfi (talk) 11:44, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

• The use of mw:Extension:Kartographer (and the associated templates) in Wikivoyage needs to be standardised and documented properly. mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer assumes the extension will be called directly (without the module and templates) and Wikivoyage:How to use dynamic maps#Adding boundaries and tracks is largely left-over documentation from the old {{GPX}} system which needs to be fully rewritten.
  • It may also make sense to split often-used basic concepts (how to use {{mapframe}}, {{listing}} and {{marker}}) to a different help page than the advanced details of drawing boundaries, paths, {{mapshape}}s and the like - which are used comparatively infrequently.
• Wikivoyage:Using Wikidata lacks a proper help page; as existing documentation is being patched piecemeal to replace documentation of mw:Extension:RelatedSites links with Wikidata links, the user is being directed to Wikivoyage:Cooperating with Wikidata which is not a help page and clearly states "This page is an incubator for ideas on how to work with Wikidata. This is not a policy document."
