Coverage about FIFA World Cup and host cities
[edit]In yesterday's NARWHAL (North American Regional Wiki Hub and Lab) meeting, it was mentioned that since there will be high volume of travellers in summer 2026 to attend the FIFA World Cup, it's suggested that Wikivoyage to improve and translate the contents of 2026 FIFA World Cup page and the 16 host cities in all Wikivoyage languages.

- I wonder if we could turn that into an editing event. Maybe for the birthday celebration? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:02, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- I was going to say this, too. Out of the 16 cities, SF is a star, Seattle, Guadalajara, Boston, NYC and Vancouver are guide articles, while LA, Houston, Kansas City, Mexico City, Monterrey, Atlanta, Miami, Philly, Toronto and Dallas are only usable. Maybe it would be good if we can get some of those usable articles up to guide as a goal we can work towards for an editing event. //shb (t | c | m) 00:10, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry I'm not clear on this, but @WhatamIdoing: what do you mean by the birthday celebration? When would that be? --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 05:33, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Work on the city pages will have lasting value, while the event will come and go. Perhaps the most urgent for WV-EN are host cities for English-speaking overseas fans, as they will be looking for accommodation and related travel info right now. Three that leap out are Foxborough Mass, Arlington (Texas) and East Rutherford NJ. Grahamsands (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Wikivoyage's birthday is in January. We have sometimes tried to run a banner to encourage other (e.g., Wikipedia) editors to contribute here. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:54, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- We can push for an improvement drive on FIFA host cities and event to start on February 1 once Wikivoyage Asian Month wraps up. OhanaUnitedTalk page 05:21, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

How should city articles deal with World Cup?
[edit]I think it might be useful to add something to the articles for each city that is hosting World Cup matches. I took a stab at this for Monterrey, adding some tips geared toward the games. Do y'all think this is useful? If so, where should it go and how should it be presented? Comments appreciated. Mrkstvns (talk) 18:37, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
