Welcome
[edit]
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing! Ibaman (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
7+2 and the word "cities"
[edit]Hi, and thanks for the work you're doing to try to clean up and clarify things. I undid your deletion of blue links from Rwanda#Cities, though, because 7+2 does not apply to bottom-level region - or in this case, country - articles. Since Rwanda is not divided into region articles on this site, every article about a place in that country must be listed and linked in the Rwanda article. In terms of the word "city," it also encompasses towns and villages. It's fine to make an article a rural area article, if the area fulfills the definition in Wikivoyage:Rural area article template: The "rural area" article skeleton is used for areas so sparsely populated that their individual villages aren't big enough for their own articles. If an article is about a discrete village, it gets its own small city article template; Childs is a good example of such a case.
Let me know if you'd like to discuss any of this further, as there are definitely gray areas on classifications, and thanks again for all the great work you do!
All the best,
