DeutschWelcome, and please don't create redirects from non-Latin scripts
[edit source]Hello Niyaz Jahanov! 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 are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Thanks for your enthusiasm, but we don't create redirects from names in non-Latin scripts. I can't find the policy right now, but I definitely remember the discussion that came to a consensus about it. Thanks.
All the best,

- Thanks very much. That discussion is inconclusive, though, and I remember a conclusive Votes for deletion thread. I'll look for that, but there needs to be something on a policy page about these guidelines. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
