Am I supposed to put supermarkets in the buy section?
[edit]I am working on an article about Crosslake, but there is only one supermarket in the area. Am I suppose to include that, or leave it out? TheBT2679 (talk) 02:51, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- I put them in ==Eat==. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:04, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- I usually put them in the buy section since you can buy other things from supermarkets that aren't just food products. But I suppose this is something that differs by location and the individual supermarket, so really it's more of a personal judgment call than anything else. //shb (t | c | m) 05:12, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- I would say that in a place where there's only one supermarket, it should definitely be listed, whereas I wouldn't list any in a guide for a district of New York City where there are supermarkets and convenience stores all over the place unless it was really special. I agree that whether to put it in Buy or Eat depends on its focus. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:27, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

- Put some pretty in-depth details, such as regular things that you might think you could buy there, but can't, seeing as it is the only supermarket in the area. Oak lod (talk) 20:43, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Sometimes supermarket listings are useful to travellers & therefore fine for Wikivoyage. Not always, though. See for example Talk:Cebu_City#Supermarkets again. Pashley (talk) 03:43, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
Template:IsPartOf question
[edit]I previously changed the Template:IsPartOf for Taoyuan International Airport from Taipei to Taoyuan. However, the information shown in “Page information” seems to indicate that I didn’t do it correctly. Why is that? Sunfish Dash (talk) 19:00, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- Taoyuan is a regular city article, not a region or a districted-city, so it does not have a corresponding category.
- "Northern Taiwan" is a reasonable category for that article. To peek under the hood, take a look at the Category:Northern_Taiwan page. The IsPartOf template uses these hidden category pages. Gerode (talk) 00:58, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yes. IsPartOf is based on our categories rather than our city articles. Airports are categorized within their respective regions regardless of whether the airport is in a city. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 02:53, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- I understand, thank you both for clearing up my confusion. Sunfish Dash (talk) 03:20, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Registration of a new museum in Czech Republic
[edit]Hello
we would like to register the Museum of Survivors and Oskar Schindler in Brnenec in Czech Republic.
Can you advice please?
Thank you Schindlerova archa (talk) 10:04, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- You could start by adding a listing in the nearest city. Unfortunately we don't have a good coverage of East Bohemia, so the nearest city appears to be Litomyšl. I think that Brnenec is too small a village to have its own article, but there maybe somewhere nearer that should have an article - Svitavy was considered when the region map was created, but we would be interested in your thoughts.

Why can't I see WikiVoyage in Tamil and Malayalam languages?
[edit]Tamil and Malayalam are popular Indian languages, spoken by natives of the southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Besides, these languages are spoken by expatriates in different parts of the world. Tamil is also recognised as an official language in Srilanka and Singapore as well. Yet, I am unable to see WikiVoyage websites in these languages. Sree1959 (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
- Wikivoyage does not have Tamil and Malayalam versions because no-one has created them. Wikivoyage is entirely created by volunteers. If a team of people who speak those languages wanted to create new versions of Wikivoyage, they would be supported by regular contributors to English and other language versions of Wikivoyage. If the problem is that your browser does not automatically translate the English version of Wikivoyage to those languages, it is a problem with your browser that is beyond our control.

- @Sree1959: In addition, most incubator projects often need an active community to come out of the incubator. I know @Faster than Thunder: has been pretty onto getting a tawikivoyage up and coming; no idea about mywikivoyage, though. But I would very much encourage you to help out these projects at incubator:Wy/ta/ and incubator:Wy/my/ if you can. //shb (t | c | m) 22:47, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
- As Sree1959 probably doesn't know our jargon: The "incubator" is where new projects, such as new language versions of Wikivoyage, are started. If you can get people to work on the incubator sites that shb linked, showing they are viable projects, they will at some point be moved to their own domain (ta.wikivoyage.org and my.wikivoyage.org) and be more widely linked (such as in the "in other languages" lists and at www.wikivoyage.org). You could start by creating articles for your home towns, favourite travel destinations and other places you know, and translating articles in English for other important destinations. –LPfi (talk) 09:46, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- (Oops, it seems Sree1959 indeed might know our jargon, sorry. I hope you are able to gather the communities needed for getting those language versions running. Check what experiences there are about how large a community is needed for sustained activity. –LPfi (talk) 09:50, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
