This page describes the criteria for determining the article status of Region guide articles.
| Status | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Vfd | Not an article, with a page name that has little or no prospect of being turned into an article or being redirected to an article. While it may contain information, that information does not meet Wikitravel's goals. |
| 1 | Stub | An article with little or no information in it, or not formatted even close to the manual of style. An article with no template would have this status. |
| 2 | Outline | Has at least the normal introductory paragraph (this can be as short as a single sentence describing where it is, in which country) and a template outline laid out for the article. Some of the sections of the template may have content, but not all of them. |
| 3 | Usable | Has links to at least a couple of cities and/or other linked destinations (linked cities at usable outline or better) within the region, and a Get in section describing all of the typical ways to get there. At least the most prominent attraction is identified with directions in the linked city guide. |
| 4 | Guide | Gives you different choices for which linked destinations to visit (usable status or better), and information on multiple attractions and things to do. Listings and layout closely match the manual of style. There will be multiple ways to get in, some suggestions for moving out, and information on getting around. |
| 5 | Star | Has a tourist-style map showing all the linked destinations (guide status or better) and routes between them. The format either matches the manual of style exactly or is the exception that proves the rule. Prose is not only near-perfect grammatically but also tight, effective, and enjoyable. At least one good-quality photo accompanies the article; preferably 2-3 showing famous or important attractions. |
Insert the Wiki Markup listed below in order to display a guide's maturity rating:
