Say I create a district page, but the district is rather bland.
Although locals may live in the aforementioned area, there are not many things to do in it. An example of this is my attempt to create a page called Munich/Feldmoching-Hasenbergl, which I originally actually attempted to make. However, after some rational thinking, I have closed the tab on which I was creating the page. However, I'm kind of stuck in a trench now, one overflowing with the same question over and over again: If there is nothing special to do in a district, does it deserve its own subpage?

 * Thanks for the good question! Probably not, and if not, it can be included in a larger district. District divisions of cities that are divided into districts on Wikivoyage are only those that are most useful to the traveler, and are (or originally were) based on specific proposals that were discussed on the talk pages of the cities in question. By no means do we automatically create articles for every official district in every city. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:23, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * To add onto Ikan's response, on Wikivoyage, districts have specific boundaries and should be sought on the relevant talk page – in your [Usersnipedname] case, it would be on Talk:Munich. You may alternatively want to use certain mapping tools such as geojson.io and the Wikivoyage Districtifier. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 07:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification – I was also wondering why the northern local districts of Munich are all combined together into Northern Munich, but you answered that question flawlessly without me even asking about it. This may also explain why some districts are often combined together into one area in many locations documented on Wikivoyage. Usersnipedname (talk) 18:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed. You got it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:55, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

"dead links"
Is removing a "dead link" good? I recently came over the page Griffin and saw a dead link to Forsyth, Georgia. I live in that town, so I thought about making an article about it. Since I'm new, I decided not to make a new page but to just get rid of the typo and the dead link. Is that okay? Amoxicillin on a Boat (talk) 16:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It's good to delete dead links but better to replace them with live ones, if any exist. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Amoxicillin on a Boat, do you mean a red link (like Forsyth, Georgia) or a dead link (like https://jaldfk.com/, a non-existent website). WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * A red colored link, why? Amoxicillin on a Boat (talk) 18:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It's a difference in terminology. But both can be removed. Unlike Wikipedia, which is generally fine with creating links to Wikipedia articles that don't exist yet ("red links"), we don't do it in Wikivoyage. Ground Zero (talk) 18:58, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it good to remove the red links, though? Amoxicillin on a Boat (talk) 19:00, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * yes, totally, cleaner is better, we strive to have as few redlinks as possible. Ibaman (talk) 19:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

How to remove permanently closed restaurant from a page's Eat section
Hi everyone,

On the page for Saint Paul, Minnesota, one of the restaurants listed in the Eat section is permanently closed. How do I update the numerical order of the restaurant listings after I'd delete an entry?

Thank you for your time and help! OpenBarry (talk) 01:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @OpenBarry, it will auto-update the numbers. Just remove the closed one, and the software will take care of the rest. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, good to know. Thank you, @WhatamIdoing! OpenBarry (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
