Hello, PalalyYoga! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

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 need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Please also have a look at welcome, business owners, welcome, tourism professionals and the don't tout guidelines. --Traveler100 (talk) 07:52, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Jaffna Airport
Thanks for starting that article, PalalyYoga, but unlike Wikipedia, we don't have an article about every airport on this site, and we don't like stub airport articles, so your stub will need to be merged and redirected to Jaffna. See What is an article? for the following guideline:

Some examples of possible exceptions include:


 * Singularly huge and complex airports the size of small cities such as Kansai International Airport or Heathrow Airport (formatted using the Project:Airport article template)
 * ...but not typical metropolitan or regional airports. Some specific guidelines as to when an airport merits its own article:
 * It should serve as a hub with a large number of connecting flights. Travellers are unlikely to spend a lot of time at airports that are merely origin or destination points.
 * It must have several food and shopping options available; if the airport does not have enough amenities to fill out a "Buy" and "Eat and Drink" section then it does not merit its own article.
 * See also: Airport Expedition

All the best,

 * I've redirected Jaffna international airport to Jaffna and moved the content to Talk:Jaffna in case any of it becomes useful later. However, what I think is needed now is to update the information at Jaffna on how to get in from Colombo. The information in the article appears to be from 2014, so I feel pretty sure none of it is true anymore. Would you be able to update that information? Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:10, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Creating article
Take a looked when you start a new article, there is an option to select a article type (like city) which will save you having to type the section titles. --Traveler100 (talk) 21:21, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
