Discussion of recent additions and changes

[edit source]

Hi @FactotumPrime, @EditorOfOrigins and @Irifasum: You all have added a lot of great information to this article! Some changes might merit some discussion, though. First, existing pagebanners with the correct parameters (etc.) cannot be unilaterally substituted for; instead, a proposal should be made in a separate thread on this page, so we can discuss it and come to a consensus. Second, there might be an issue with trying to cram too much on this page that might belong in the Kigali article or perhaps other local articles. For example, Lake Muhazi seems great for a listing in that city article, as it's stated to be on the outskirts, not even outside the city limits. What does everyone think about these things?

Thanks for the feedback. Agreed on the banner, I've opened a separate thread below with a proposal.
On content scope, happy to move Lake Muhazi to the Kigali article as it is indeed within the city limits. For the other additions (mobile money, ride hailing, visa updates, Stay safe/healthy updates, etc.) I believe these belong at the country level as they apply nationwide, not just to Kigali. Open to discussion on any specific sections that feel better placed elsewhere. Irifasum (talk) 08:53, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update banner

[edit source]
current banner
suggested new banner


The current banner has been in use since 2014. How about updating it to a panorama of the Virunga Volcanoes from Musanze? Irifasum (talk) 08:49, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I think I favour the new banner – feels more reflective of what I picture of Rwanda. //shb (t | c | m) 09:09, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
  • The image quality of the new one is also better.

I vote for the new banner too. The old one could be anywhere. DavidX1000 (talk) 07:59, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
I also think the new banner is better. I just wanted to follow standard procedure. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:46, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
