"By public transport"[edit]
Re: this edit: To an American, "public transport" has a distinctly British feel. We seldom use "transport" as anything but a verb; the American version of this expression is "public transportation". What was wrong with "By public transit", and is there a way to create a subheading that doesn't sound weird in any standard form of English? Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe I've been living outside the US for too long—"public transport" sounds fine to me. I don't particularly care which version we use, so I'll revert my changes. —Granger (talk · contribs) 01:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- How about "By public transit / By public transport(ation)" - indicating that whichever of the three phrases best suits the destination is acceptable. I understand that we normally have standard headings, but there is precedence for this where "Cities" is sometimes labelled as "Towns", "Regions" as "Provinces" or "Counties"...--ThunderingTyphoons!

- I'm fine with that as long as we don't get people using all three subheadings together in a section. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:20, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that occured to me after I posted too. In that case, maybe it's better mentioned in italics at Wikivoyage:Rural_area_article_template.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 13:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks, good solution. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:21, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Omissions from the template[edit]
What happened to "IsPartOf" and "outlineruralarea" or whatever? And are we going to have any Geo? If so, how? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:15, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Good point – I'm sure their omission was an oversight. I'll plunge forward and add them. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:59, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- I also added these missing things. I think we also want this:
- Much appreciated. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:59, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Rural area is in Region name.
- Don't we? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- Added. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:08, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Still a draft?[edit]
I think we've approved and are using this template. Can we delete the "This project page is a draft" template? Also, is there yet a longer discussion of the sections, analogous to Wikivoyage:Small city article template and such? Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:30, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- There is Wikivoyage:Rural area article template; its "draft" template was removed last month. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:00, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- So it should be fine to remove the draft template here, too. The full template article should be linked, though. I'll take care of this shortly. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:06, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- I see that the full page is not linked from the quick version pages. I removed the "experimental" template. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:14, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
