In order to keep Wikitravel organized and consistent there are guidelines about when a subject gets its own article. In this area there are two competing principles:
#Articles should be relatively self-sufficient so that travellers can print them out, put in their back pocket, and use for travelling around.
#At the same time, articles should not be so long that they're impossible to read, print, or use.
So, here are some rough guidelines for what topics should have their own articles, and what shouldn't. Nothing here is set in stone, but exceptions to these guidelines should have good justifications.
==What DOES get its own article?==
'''Geographical units''' on the [[Project:geographical hierarchy|geographical hierarchy]] '''should''' have their own articles. There should be articles about:
*Continents like [[Africa]] (formatted using the [[Project:Region article template]]).
*Continental sections like [[Southeast Asia]] (formatted using the [[Project:Region article template]]).
*Countries like [[Brazil]] (formatted using the [[Project:Country article template]]).
*Regions like [[Normandy]] (formatted using the [[Project:Region article template]])
*Cities like [[Tokyo]] (formatted using the [[Project:Huge city article template]])
*Districts like [[New York (city)/Greenwich Village|Greenwich Village]] (formatted using the [[Project:District article template]])
A common test to determine whether a subject gets its own article is the "can you sleep there?" test. While there are numerous hotels and other lodging options in a city like [[London]], you can't sleep in a museum or park within that city; parks and museums should thus be listed as attractions within an article about the city.
With districts, consider also [[Project:Geographical hierarchy#Districts in cities|When to disctrictify]] recommendations--only create a separate article for a district when you have enough content for it, and the borders for a new district are well-defined.
==What DOES NOT get its own article?==
Individual attractions '''should not''' have their own articles (in general). Their information should be listed in the [[Project:geographical hierarchy#Cities|city]] or possibly [[Project:geographical hierarchy#Districts|district]] that they're in. With a few rare exceptions (see below) there '''should not''' be articles about individual:
*Restaurants.
*Museums.
*Hotels.
*Bars.
*City parks.
*Statues.
*Town squares.
*Department stores.
*Night clubs.
*Festivals.
*Events.
*Streets (Districts named after streets like [[San Francisco/Castro Street]] and [[Singapore/Orchard]] are OK.)
*Transport systems.
*Bodies of water (see [[Project:Bodies of water]]).
We prefer that attractions, sites, and events be included in the article for the place they're located (see [[Project:where you can stick it|where you can stick it]] for details). For example, a lake might be listed under the "See" section of the closest town, and a bar would be listed under the "Drink" section of the town in which it is located.
==Exceptions==
There are exceptions to every rule, and Wikitravel is no different. Be aware, however, that if you think something deserves an exception you should be ready to defend your position. Cases where (rare) exceptions are made include attractions, sites or events that are '''far away''' (too far for a day trip) from any city and would require an overnight stay, or '''so large and complex''' that the information about them would overload the city article. Some examples of possible exceptions include:
* National parks like the [[Grand Canyon]] (formatted using the [[Project:Park article template]]).
* Large archaeological sites like [[Angkor Wat]], or [[Ephesus]] in [[Turkey]].
* Big theme parks like [[Disneyland]].
* Large airports like [[Kansai International Airport]].
In general, a good rule of thumb is that information about attractions, sites, and events should '''always''' be initially placed into the article for the place they're located in, and only when that information becomes '''large and complex''' should a new article be considered. As with most decisions on Wikitravel, [[Project:consensus|consensus]] drives the process, but we try to err on the side of consistency and not make these exceptions unless we absolutely have to.
==Other types of articles==
In addition, the following categories of articles are given their own articles:
*[[Project:other ways of seeing travel#Itineraries|Itineraries]] should have their own articles (formatted using the [[Project:Itinerary article template]]).
*[[Project:Phrasebook Expedition|Phrasebooks]] should have their own articles (formatted using the [[Project:Phrasebook template]]).
*[[Project:other ways of seeing travel#Issues in travel|Travel topics]] should have their own articles.
==When in doubt==
When in doubt, leave a message in the [[Project:Travelers' pub|travelers' pub]] or simply [[Project:Plunge forward|plunge forward]] and create the article. Someone else will always be around to answer your question or to edit any mistakes.
