This guide explains each of Wikitravel's standard article sections and what sort of information each should contain.  If you have a specific type of item in mind and want to know where it goes, check out [[Wikitravel:Where you can stick it]].  If you have a specific type of article in mind and want to know what sections it should have, use [[Wikitravel:Article templates]].  The individual article templates also include more detailed information specific to each kind of article.

For destination articles, this is where you should put identifying information about the destination, so that the traveler has some idea what you're talking about. Try to link to the next higher level in the [[Wikitravel:Geographical hierarchy|geographical hierarchy]]&mdash;link to the country for top-level regions, for instance. Rough borders for the area help give context here, too. You can pull off a few sentences of interesting tidbits, but try to leave detailed information on history, culture, etc., for the '''Understand''' section.

Most of the meat of the information about a huge city is divided up into the individual district articles. You should list the districts here, as well as a short blurb (per [[Wikitravel:One-liner listings]]) about the district that lets readers know what is most relevant about the district for travel, what neighborhoods constitute the district, etc. Every district listed should have clearly defined borders to make it easy for other Wikitravelers to know where to stick new listings. See the [[Wikitravel:District article template|District article template]] for the structure of district articles.

This section of the page is where you give deeper background information about the destination.  This can vary widely depending on the destination type.  For countries, information about its culture, its people or peoples, and relationships to other countries are useful.  For cities, focus on what makes the city unique within its country.  Don't duplicate information that can be found in other sections. Also, try not to go too deeply into information about lower levels in the hierarchy, except perhaps in how they relate to each other; leave that for the region or city articles.

This section should contain information on how to get to the destination.  For countries, give visa or other legal information, as well as warnings about border crossings. For other areas, information should involve getting to the location primarily from within the next highest levels in the [[Wikitravel:Geographical hierarchy|hierarchy]].  For example, for getting into a U.S. state, focus on routes from nearby states and from other areas of the country.  For getting into a city, list driving directions from nearby cities, not from a city on the other side of the country, and don't include extensive customs information (which belongs in the country article).

This section is for medical information, including local health hazards, medical, pharmacies, etc. Note any significant outbreaks of contagious diseases, recommended shots, and requirements for obtaining medicine or medical attention in the country. If there are national hotlines for medical emergencies, or local numbers that are standardized (like 911 in the USA), list them here.

List here any common mistakes visitors make about the area in question. In many parts of the world, certain parts of the body, buildings, people, or other objects are subject to custom and etiquette that may be different from the traveler's home culture. Should short-sleeved shirts and short pants be avoided in churches or temples? Is it OK to eat with your left hand? What about respect for the elderly, children, government officials, etc.?

Don't repeat information that should already be known by a majority of visitors, or that is common to most cultures.  Much of that information is already found in the travel topic "[[Respect]]", and we don't need to have it in every country article.
