Uzbekistan railways update

[edit]

Hello Ground Zero. I saw you edited my changes for Khiva. Nice and practical edits, thanks. I guess you have more knowledge and rights here, so I thought I'll ask you the following. Could you update railway lines on the static map in Uzbekistan page? I was there Sep-Oct 2025 and went by train from Khiva to Bukhara, on a line not marked in the map. Please check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbek_Railways, there is a map there of current lines. Regards, Aurimas Aurimaz (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Aurimaz: unfortunately, that is beyond my skill set. I just don't know how to make static maps. I suggest that you ask for help on the talk page at Wikivoyage:Mapmaking_Expedition. I don't know if we have many current contributors who are able to update maps, so it may take a while to get this updated. Thanks for your contributions to Wikivoyage.

Thank you, I'll ask for help using the page you suggested. Aurimaz (talk) 14:14, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Fix redirection of Aliabad

[edit]

Hello Ground Zero. As we talked previously, I thought I'll ask you also help with the following. There is a town Aliabad, in Hunza Valley (Gilgit-Baltistan, de facto Pakistan). There seems to be nothing interesting for a tourist there, except for it is popular stop to change buses, minivans, etc. - then tourists go further. Therefore, it doesn't seem to make sense to have a dedicated page for it. The issue now is, Aliabad currently redirects to Gilgit-Baltistan. More proper and useful redirection would be to Hunza Valley (it's a smaller territorial unit, and Aliabad is relevant rather in this context). I.e. on page https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Karakoram_Highway link for Aliabad goes to Hunza Valley, but it's link target, not redirection, that works here. Could you fix the redirection? I don't know how to do this myself, and I don't know if I'm allowed. There are more Aliabads than this, you can see in Wikipedia, but if first comes wins, then there's just one Aliabad in Gilgit-Baltistan, and it falls in Hunza Valley.

Done. If the other ones are significant, they should be linked at least from a toplink, otherwise that can wait until their articles are created. –LPfi (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
