Talk:UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

Is this a travel article ?
Can somebody please explain how this page is going to be useful for travellers. Is the plan to provide a list of places where this intangible heritage can be seen? Do the related city articles already have relevant listings? AlasdairW (talk) 22:55, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It was created based on the two other UNESCO lists we have. While the others are easy to write, considering they have specific locations, this one is much harder as it refers to a tradition that could be practised anywhere. So my solution would be to suggest to the traveller the best place to witness the tradition. For example, the best place to see Falconry in Austria would be a show at Hohenwerfen Castle source. That's what we could advise viewers on this article, which we don't do on the wiki as of yet. JamesA  >talk 01:23, 28 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm wondering, though, whether it could be set up so that someone with a specific interest could easily find the sites for that. For example, I once met some potters doing Australia to London mostly overland with many stops at kilns, clay deposits, etc. I imagine musicians or dancers might also plan a trip around such an interest.

 * Sounds like another good idea. Do you mean creating new travel topics that would focus on some of the traditions listed here? So you could create the Falconry page and write about all the countries where falconry is a popular pastime? Or do you mean creating a page in general about say traditional music, and it would be a route across Eurasia about each country's traditional music? JamesA  >talk 02:04, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I'd like to raise this again. I don't really object to listing all of these, however reading through I cannot find any content that would help me travel to at least one of them! Awesome if there are falconry shows at Hohenwerfen in Austria, but I think we need more travel detail about seeing them otherwise we just have a skeleton of a Wikipedia (not Wikivoyage) article. I notice User:Ypsilon is working on this, so pinging him. Andrewssi2 (talk) 13:01, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm of the opinion that articles like this have a payoff in SEO and should be kept even if they are only a list of links; see Wikivoyage_talk:Search_Expedition. I'd like to see articles for all the UNESCO lists mentioned at UNESCO World Heritage List. Pashley (talk) 14:56, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Working...hmm, I just added pictures to this and the UNESCO World Heritage List because they looked too monotonous. ϒpsilon (talk) 17:47, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Format questions
I just removed "notoc=true" from the banner. It seems to me the banner TOC is much preferable to the one that goes down the left side.

At least on my monitor (1366x768) and browser (Linux Firefox) much of this article has utterly awful formatting. For most countries I see some pictures on the right with large empty space to their left, then a table on the left with empty space to its right. Do others see this? Can it be fixed? How?

Mongolian camel-coaxing
I didn't see that among the list for Mongolia, unless it's there by its Mongolian name that I didn't recognize. Really interesting explanation and demonstration here. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:03, 24 December 2021 (UTC)


 * This list seems to be outdated overall. Except for a few listings, it doesn't mention anything inscribed in the UNESCO list after 2012, which includes Mongolian camel coaxing (inscribed in 2015). Wikipedia has a list which can be sorted by the year the tradition inscribed. I don't feel like updating this now, but I might in the future using the Wikipedia list as a source, so for now I am leaving this comment as a note to self or to others who might be interested.

UNESCO-ICH template
Since we have unesco for World Heritage Sites, should we create unesco-ich template for Intangible Cultural Heritages? Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, we could have one but the problem is in which articles to put it. World Heritage Sites are usually at one single location, or at a fixed number of locations. On the other hand it's not so well defined at which places in the country/countries you can experience the individual cultural heritage things. --Ypsilon (talk) 05:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
