উইকিভ্রমণ:দেশ নিবন্ধ টেমপ্লেট
NOTE: This is an informational skeleton that describes the structure to use when creating articles about countries. Editing this template will not create a new article; for information on how to create new articles see Wikivoyage:How to start a new page. |
Country articles contain links to regions within the country as well as general information about travel in that country. Particular travel information is left up to city articles, which contain the details of addresses, phone numbers, reviews, directions, etc. for attraction, restaurants, hotels, and the like. Country articles give travellers the background information they need to understand city articles.
There should be little need to create new country articles, because every country and dependent territory as of June 2002 has had an article created for it. If a region breaks off from a country, there's probably already an article for that region, which can usually be converted to a "country" article easily enough. It's happened, and we've done it. But you never know.
To quickly insert a complete blank country template, you can copy-and-paste the Wikivoyage:Quick country article template or just add {{subst:country}} to the page and save.
Stuff in italics below is editorial comment, with suggestions for what should go in each section. You should plan on ruthlessly eliminating it if you copy this code to a new country article.
The first section of the country article does not have a heading. This is the place for rhetorical flourish, not a list of dry facts; try to leave detailed information on history, culture, etc, for the Understand section. While some identifying information about the country can be useful (so that the traveller has some idea what you're talking about), the main purpose of the lead paragraph is to hook the reader's interest.
