Wikivoyage:Requested articles

From Wikivoyage

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.

Does this pass wiaa? --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 15:25, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kerma, one of the largest and most ancient archeological sites in ancient Nubia. (w:Kerma)

Americas

[edit]
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)[reply]
  • Mescalero Sands (Roswell, New Mexico) — You can sleep here but like Chaco Culture National Historical Park, I don't know how safe it is to get in and out of.
  • Rio Rancho (New Mexico) — This is the only easily accessible location without a Wikivoyage article between Texas and Utah that is directly on the centerline.
This seems like it's just a suburb of Albuquerque without much to do — I'd suggest we mention it in that article instead. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 15:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fishlake National Forest (Richfield, Utah) — You can sleep here. Also includes Pando, the heaviest and one of the oldest living organisms in the world.
  • Canastota. Hosts the International Boxing Hall of Fame and looks like it merits an article. See w:Canastota.
  • Charlotte (Vermont): Based on the number of Charlotte listings in the Chittenden County article, there would be plenty for an article for this town.
  • Malheur National Forest in Oregon, home to the "humongous fungus" that's also a candidate for largest living organism
  • Kiryas Joel, New York (w: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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    Hi I have knowledge because I live nearby! The area around has a large Hasidic Jewish population as well (Monsey). It's large enough to the point where when there is one of those holidays where I assume they can't use cars the roads are almost completely empty around that area. Rockland County has a large Hasidic Jewish population (I think Wikipedia article on Rockland County mentions it) but the Hasidic Jewish population from my own experience is around Suffern and Monsey and maybe Chestnut Ridge and Ramapo and I think parts of Spring Valley (this is my experience living growing up in the area). There are a lot of signs around Monsey in what I believe to be Yiddish that may be visible on google street view. I am just someone browsing Wikipedia so forgive me if I didn't post this right. I know sources would be hard to come by for information about this. Romia39 (talk) 16:36, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • many trails in the National Trails System
  • Dillingham, Alaska - where Sarah Palin and her husband work on their fishing business. (w:Dillingham, Alaska)
  • Lakewood Ranch_(Florida) (w:Lakewood Ranch, Florida) is an up and coming suburban community (planned development) in the outskirts of Bradenton, Florida.
  • Lake Nona (w:Lake_Nona,_Orlando,_Florida) is another planned development springing up in the Orlando Area with some of the developments by Disney to create another 'Celebration, Florida'. it is located west of Orlando International Airport and is very close to the airport for people staying their winters in Florida and summers elsewhere.
    This appears to be more suburbia – is there anything of interest to travellers here? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 23:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Lakewood Ranch is a planned community built on land previously used for cattle grazing and swampland; The attractions the Sarasota Polo Club and the Premier Sports Complex as well as golfing in different golf courses like the Lakewood Golf Club. There are also pretty little planned villages springing up to serve as retail cores (or malls) for shopping and dining. It's the same thing for Lake Nona, Florida too! Anyone150 (talk) 23:46, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lakewood_(Washington) (w:Lakewood, Washington) an established city serving as a suburb of Tacoma, Washington and Joint Base Lewis-McCord.
  • Springfield_(Oregon) (w:Springfield, Oregon) is a city in Lane County, Oregon, United States. Located in the Southern Willamette Valley, it is within the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area. Separated from Eugene to the west, mainly by Interstate 5, Springfield is the second-most populous city in the metropolitan area after Eugene. It would serve as a complimentary or an addition to the Eugene, Oregon article. Perhaps the fictional city of Springfield where the Simpson was inspired from Springfield, Oregon as the author of the Simpson, Matt Groening, is from Portland, Oregon.

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

  • 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.

Latvia

[edit]
  • Ādaži - A town outside of Riga, Latvia

Poland

[edit]
  • 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.

Travel topics

Reasons to travel

[edit]
We have Chess, Go, Shogi and Xiangqi. Reenactment and LARP is somewhat related. Pashley (talk) 03:07, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now we have Board games article.--Hnishy63 (talk) 00:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Backgammon would be a good candidate. The game is quite popular in Greece & I'm not sure where else. Pashley (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • European capital of culture on the one hand "event travel" like the Olympics or World Cup on the other hand the EU explicitly requires long term effects, so even visiting a former capital of culture can lead to related discoveries
  • Toplessness (common destinations for women who practice female toplessness) - In some parts of the world, many women have to deal with the fact that although female toplessness is commonly practiced in public places like beaches, swimming pools or even parks, often there is a lack of information in regards to the official status of some of these places, meaning that in many cases some women practice topless sunbathing (de facto) without really knowing if this act is allowed or even tolerated (de jure) in a determined region. Indeed, most of these women feel obliged to practice toplessness in a discreet manner to avoid confusion and unwanted sights. Others decide to travel for long distances to reach a more isolated place (such as a remote beach) where topless sunbathing can be done (at least de facto) without so much worries. Not to mention that in some occasions a few women have had problems with the police and other authorities mainly because these women don't know the official status of these places, as I said above. With all of this in mind, here I bring a proposition of an article whose focus should be on what are the areas around the world where female toplessness is more commonly practiced and what's the status (if known, de jure or at least de facto) of these areas, as well as the best destinations for women who take out the top (and don't want to worry a lot). Thanks in advance.
    I think an article telling about laws in every jurisdiction will quickly get unwieldy, and additionally, practices vary in many jurisdictions. I also don't know whether toplessness is the thing. Can you have just a bikini at the beach? In many places you are supposed to have at least a T-shirt over your bath suit, or even to wear a burqini (hmm, is there any beach where those are the common swimwear?). I think the practises are better handled in Cope or in a paragraph on beaches in Do for countries or regions known as beach destinations (and in beach listings where practises vary from one beach to the other). Or, if people do choose destination based on the possibility to sunbath topless without issues, that aspect could have a section in Beaches (in addition to the less focused discussion in the country and region articles). –LPfi (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Working in the European Union
    Is this for EU/EEA citizens or people from elsewhere? The issues are very different. For EU citizens you don't need work permits, but you may need recognised certification, which isn't standardised in all sectors, and you should consider effects on social security, taxes etc. People from elsewhere need a country-specific work permit and I don't know how much general stuff there is to told. –LPfi (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Travel considerations for specific groups

[edit]
  • Freelance journalism isn't covered, although we have working abroad and travel writing.
    I think we should expand on the topic in Travel writing before starting an article, unless it can be made usable from the start. –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a legal difference between travel writing and journalism. For example, USA citizens can only travel to Cuba for specific covered reasons, one of those being for the purpose of journalism. USA Freedom of the Press though also means that you do not have to work for an established news agency in order to be a journalist. For example, if you have a blog that reports on different relevant news-worthy topics, then you can legally refer to yourself as an independent or freelance journalist and gain entry to Cuba, as long as the purpose of your trip is for news reporting on your blog as an independent journalist. This is different from general travel writing but can otherwise overlap. Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That tips would be very relevant for the blogger (or whomever), who doesn't feel as being a journalist but could turn into one for visiting that country. Freelance journalism could be added to the present Books, Guidebooks, Magazines and Blogging. I don't see anything in the current article that wouldn't apply to freelance journalists. –LPfi (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that "how to become an independent or freelance journalist" is a relevant topic for Wikivoyage though. That is a better topic for Wikiversity or Wikibooks instead. Go to Wikiversity first to learn how to become an independent journalist and then return to Wikivoyage to learn how to use your new status as an independent journalist to access travel locations that may otherwise be inaccessible such as Cuba and some USA government facilities (for example you can cite your blog in order to request press credentials to access the White House or a NASA rocket launch). However, not all countries have the same Freedom of the Press as the USA and may not recognize someone as a journalist simply because they are reporting news on a personal blog instead of working for an established news agency. Nicole Sharp (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Me neither. But journalism could be added to the list of different kinds of travel writing you could make money on. If you happen to be a journalist, or have the needed skills, then you could use that option. Compare with what is said about the other kinds of writing; we don't teach anybody to be a book writer either, we just list a few things to consider if you might want to be one. –LPfi (talk) 06:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Erasmus program / Studying in the European Union
  • Couple travel - not necessarily honeymoon travel
    Couples can travel for any reason and I think they are reasonably well catered for anywhere (double rooms are standard at hotels, for one). Do you have any specific issues in mind? –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree. Topic is too broad. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 15:34, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    +1. I too think the topic is way too broad. --SHB (t | c | m) 08:14, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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).
  • Travel as a non-binary individual - We already have LGBT Travel, but coverage of travel issues, non-binary individuals encounter could be expanded. Ideally it should include advice on places that non-binary indviduals may want to avoid (For example, In some destinations, there are bars and clubs that may seem neutral to non-binary individuals, but where those indviduals might get mistaken for potential sex partners for example.)
    The issues could indeed be expanded on in LGBT travel, but I think they very much go hand in hand, so I don't think we should have a separate article. However, if you think the format of the existing article makes it difficult to expand, feel free to create the separate article (or a draft) and other people might be able to merge the two to something better. The specific issue, to be seen as a potential sex partner, is not restricted to the non-binary – does it differ from unwanted attention towards cis women (or even heterosexual non-trans men?) –LPfi (talk) 12:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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). 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

By plane

[edit]

Whether to start a separate article for a particular airport should be discussed on Wikivoyage talk:Airport Expedition unless the airport is absolutely huge and complex.

  • Flying to Oceania - We have one for Africa, why can't we have one for Oceania?
  • Chinchero International Airport - A new airport under construction (as of March 2024) next to the town of Chinchero, Peru, 30.5 km northwest of Cusco. This larger airport will serve as another international airport to receive a wider range of direct international flights towards Cusco, Machu Pichu and the Valley of the Incas from various countries abroad without transiting through Lima. This airport is expected to open in middle of 2025 or 2026.
  • Jorge Chávez International Airport - the main airport serving Lima, the capital of Peru. It is the third busiest airport in South America in 2019. A new terminal is under construction on the opposite side of the runways from the original terminal which will include the construction of a new control tower, runway, and an upgrade to Av Santa Rosa for traffic to quickly go between the original and the new terminals.
  • Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu – a hub that's a popular transit point for passengers flying between North America and Oceania/Asia. It is also a hub for intra-state flights with Hawaiian Airlines, Mokulele and Southwwest as well a connection point for United (formerly Continental Micronesia) flights between the mainland and Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, and Marshall Islands.
  • Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) w:Felipe_Ángeles_International_Airport is a new airport 48km north/northeast of central Mexico City in the municipality of Zumpinango in the State of Mexico. It serves as an alternate airport for the Mexico City area with domestic flights from multiple cities in Mexico and international flights from Caracas, Santo Domingo and Panama City. This airport serves as a hub for Mexicana Airlines (operated by the government for the public) since December 2,2023.
  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (w:Fort_Lauderdale_International_Airport) in Fort Lauderdale is the second busiest airport to rival Miami International Airport in the Miami Metropolitan Area with domestic and international traffic. It is the hub or focus city for Allegiant, JetBlue, Southwest, Silver Airways and Spirit for the area. Some of the foreign airlines to both Miami and Ft Lauderdale such as Avianca, Bahamasair, El Al, Caribbean Airlines, and Copa. Others such as BermudAir and Azul (from Brazil) on go to Ft Lauderdale only. Right now the Wikivoyage link points to redirect to Fort Lauderdale#By plane.
  • Guadalajara International Airport - w:Miguel_Hidalgo_y_Costilla_Guadalajara_International_Airport is the fourth busiest airport in Mexico after Mexico City's Benito Juarez Airport serving the second largest city in Mexico. International flights from Central America (via Copa Airlines) as well as from multiple cities in U.S. and Canada (via Volaris Airlines, American, Alaska, United, Air Canada, Viva Aerobus, Aeromexico). This airport serves as a hub for Volaris.
  • El Dorado International Airport - the main airport serving Bogota, the capital of Colombia. It is the second busiest airport in South America in 2019. It is a hub for Avianca.
  • Brussels Airport - the main airport serving Brussels, the capital of Belgium. It is a hub for Brussels Airlines. Currently a redirect
  • Cairo International Airport - the main airport serving Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It is a hub for EgyptAir. It is the busiest airport in Africa in 2020 (). Cairo is also the sixth-largest city in the world. ()
  • Jomo Kenyatta International Airport - main airport of Nairobi, the main hub for Kenya Airways, and one of the most important hubs of Africa
  • Medellin José María Córdova International Airport - seem to be the second largest airport in Colombia after El Dorado in Bogota. It is also the operational hub for Avianca and Latam Colombia. It was for also a hub for Viva before they went out of business.
  • Clark International Airport - New airport 85km north of Metro Manila, in Angeles, for budget flights from southeast and east Asian countries, from within the Philippines and with Starlux flights from Taiwan as an alternative to Ninoy Aquino Airport in Matro Manila. Ideal and smaller airport for travelers wishing to transit towards northern Luzon without going through the more busier Metro Manila.

Get around

[edit]
  • 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.
    River boat and barge canal cruising are suggested above in Get in and Dinner cruises in Eat/drink. I think Tour boats could cover most of these. –LPfi (talk) 09:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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.
    To make such article interesting would be to include information of places along canal (viewing spots, national parks, etc) that are accessible by road(s) which run parallel to the canal (mainly on the east side) between Panama City and Colon. There are also secondary roads on the west side (connecting Colon to Cuipo via Gatun) that offer better views of the Gatun Lake. There's also a once daily train that connects Panama Albrook Station to Colon too.
    If the article is on Panama canal by boat I don't see why roadside attractions are essential. Of course, there may be more people travelling along the roads than along the canal. The focus could be on either or both. The article Suez Route is a stub, not a good model. –LPfi (talk) 08:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Seeing this again, I think destinations reachable from places where you can leave your boat for the time needed are relevant also for a by boat article – but as most are at least as accessible without boat, I don't think we need to have separate articles. Sidetrips not reachable by boat could be interesting also for peoples going by boat, to give an understanding of the surrounding area. So yes, a good article could be written, and I think it should be just Panama Canal as suggested (now a redirect to the section where the listing is found). We also have at least Kiel Canal and Göta Kanal (both outlines if that; and Danube, which in practice is similar). –LPfi (talk) 08:05, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Intercity buses in Britain - the network is a lot older than the French or German ones.
    There is Bus travel in the United Kingdom, but this is an outline with only a short paragraph on intercity. AlasdairW (talk) 21:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Motorcycle taxi and Rickshaw redirect to a brief description in taxicabs; Tuk-tuk / Auto rickshaw and tricycle taxi redlink.
We have traysikel as a redirect for the Filipino variant. Pashley (talk) 14:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Canals currently redirect to waterways:
    • 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)[reply]
    • European inland waterways. There is a section "Rivers and Canals of Europe" in Waterways, but I think a proper article should have a structure hard to shoehorn into that section. The scope would be the waterways covered by the CEVNI regulations, with a short mention of the Kiel Canal and other special cases. This is an extensive waterway system. The regulations are uniform enough and the interconnections many enough that handling them in one article would be useful. The article would be linked from individual waterway itineraries.
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]

I think that's way too broad a topic for an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is, but could be broken down, written in pieces by authors who know some specific theme (such as the mentioned salsa article); Dancing could be more or less an index (like Winter sports, covering some themes that don't warrant or don't have their own article). I assume Argentinian tango and some other specific genres would be worthwhile articles. What about the ballroom dances (and similar pair dances) as social dancing? Are those danced commonly enough around the (Western?) world that one might want to check on them before some kinds of travel (such as if you prefer a dance restaurant over disco, or are going to attend a wedding)? Cf Finland#Social dancing. Folk dances are too region-specific in general, but some have got international attention (we had a American square dance course in my tiny, not dance-oriented, student club). –LPfi (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We have Salsa dancing in Latin America. AlasdairW (talk) 09:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I now created Social dancing and redirected Dancing to there. Please check that it is doesn't misrepresent the subject and that the scope is viable. The article now has a heavy Europe+US bias and is also otherwise an outline, but I think it can be developed from here. Contributions welcome. @SiahSargus. –LPfi (talk) 09:45, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't that already covered by Mining tourism? Vidimian (talk) 10:30, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Mining tourism breifly mentions quarries, but we could have a separate article. I would like this to describe how to safely explore small quarries that you may come across when exploring the countryside (if legal access is allowed). AlasdairW (talk) 21:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Site search results for NASCAR. This is a popular sport and definitely merits an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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
  • Sailing (Sailing ships?) - I changed the redirect into a disambiguation page, but noticed we have nothing on sailing in the spirit of Sail Training International or Tall Ships' Races, and neither about the many smaller sailing ships providing commercial cruises of a day or a few (or longer, but without typical cruise ship amenities), hopefully with real sailing. I think those three could be handled in the article, with links to Cruise ships and Cruising on small craft for most of the rest.
  • 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
  • Snow and ice art including snowmen, snow lanterns, ice lanterns, igloos etc
  • Sumo
  • 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 although some of theses article talk about taking photos when you're alone which overlaps but is not the same thing.

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)[reply]

Learn

[edit]
  • 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.
  • Erasmus – a European study exchange programme, the major one for Europeans wanting to study abroad. The article could cover the European higher education system as harmonized in the Bologna process, perhaps with a name such as Studying in Europe.

Work

[edit]
  • 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)[reply]

Buy

[edit]
-Much of United States of America#Buy has been moved to Shopping in the United States.
  • Ceramics and glass
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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.
We now have gemstones but a separate article on jewellery would also be possible. Pashley (talk) 20:02, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wool - traditional craft of woolen clothing, and exclusive fabrics such as merino, alpaca 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
  • Vehicle import - Some car makers have setups for private car imports to evade tariffs. A one-way roadtrip, selling the car and flying home can be a good setup in some cases
    Isn't this too much of a gamble? If it is a viable method to get a cheap car for your voyage, it would probably be OK, but if you have to read up on loopholes in import law and forecast selling prices, making a big loss if something unanticipated happen, then I don't think it is a thing for a travel guide. And if we are into the grey area of legality (by your being a nominal but not real buyer and seller), then our illegal activities guideline may apply. –LPfi (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we should have an article on importing a car to sell. It would have to be written on the basis that you declare the import at customs and pay the taxes, which is unlikely to yield much profit even if a buyer has already paid you in advance. It would have to be written on the basis of the traveller going to buy a car for their own use. This could also apply to buying a second-hand car - friends have travelled 200 miles to another city to buy a car because the prices are lower there, and in a more extreme example some older Japanese cars are exported to New Zealand. Are the laws on vehicle importation consistent enough around the world for this us to be able to offer useful advice? AlasdairW (talk) 16:57, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also China, e.g, see Fuzhou#Buy. Pashley (talk) 16:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Chinese links would include Dehua and Jingdezhen. Pashley (talk) 16:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eat/Drink

[edit]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
You might find the Roadfood website a useful source of information about some of these. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's also a fast food in North America article which list out the fast food joints, which are a modern equivalent to a "roadside diner". A number of these North American fast food restaurants have an international presence outside of North America too.

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

  • 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)[reply]
Oyster omelets are also Malaysian cuisine. I figure their origin is probably Teochew, therefore - see w:Teochew cuisine. So not at all unique to Taiwan. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: I don't know who invented it first, but it is part of both traditional Hokkien and Teochew cuisines. Sorry, these videos are in Chinese, but just to give you a visual reference, here's a video of the traditional Hokkien version they sell in Xiamen (The traditional Hokkien version has its own variants in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Zhao'an that differ significantly from the Xiamen variant as well), and here's a video of the traditional Teochew version they sell in Shantou. And speaking of the Teochew version, there's a variant you can get in Bangkok Chinatown as well. If you pay attention, they're all quite different from the Taiwanese, Malaysian and Singaporean versions. The dog2 (talk) 17:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

A number of establishments listed in the fast food in North America article have an international presence outside of North America too.
Yes, but that's not a problem. There are independent chains in the North American tradition, and there are other traditions. We could create the page with a short Understand and links to the two mentioned articles, until more is added. –LPfi (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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

:*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) (Existing article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC))[reply]

@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  • Competitive eating and food challenges - both watching and participating from the hot dog eating contest at Nathan's Famous in Coney Island to the 72oz steak challenge in Amarillo and other places in the w:Man v. Food tv show and Youtube channels of competitive eaters. This is mostly an American thing, but there are also a few places here in Finland for example where you will get into the restaurants "hall of fame" by eating a big hamburger or something like that. One problem is there are a lot of those places, so how to pick the most famous ones? Obviously, it's not exactly healthy, though you would of course not be eating like that every day... --Ypsilon (talk) 15:14, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]

  • Mekong River
  • Xuanzang's Journey to the West - the famous Chinese Buddhist monk's travels to Central Asia and India.
  • Taiwan National Freeway 1 w:National_Freeway_1 serves as the first and the main roadway through the west coast of Taiwan from Keelung to Kaohsiung, through every major city and town along the way. This article can also include the High Speed Railway (HSR) as it parallels Taiwan National Freeway 1 from Nangang (南港) to Zuhoing District of Kaohsiung (左營區).
  • Taiwan Provincial Highway 9 w:Provincial_Highway_9_(Taiwan) serves as an important highway on the more remote east coast of Taiwan. It goes from the Executive Yuan in Taipei to its intersection with provincial highway 11 in Taimali (太麻里鄉) in the southern end of the island at the west coast. It goes through the cities and towns as a local surface street in the east coast.
  • Taiwan Provincial Highway 26 w:Provincial_Highway_26_(Taiwan) continues from its intersection with Provincial Hwy 9 (in the above) in Daren (達仁), in the east coast. It goes around the southern tip of Taiwan through Kenting National Park (墾丁國家公園 ) and back up to Provincial Hwy 9 at the west coast, in the Fangshan District. It serves Checheng and Hengchun Townships in the remote southern tip of Taiwan.

Europe

[edit]
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.

Central America

[edit]
  • 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

[edit]
I've redirected these suggestions to Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:21, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
...which is no use to anyone looking for info on how to make the trip today. K7L (talk) 22:26, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
...Except that it gets them around the world. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 23:00, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
