Magic place

Good to see that some updates are happening on Accra. I spend 10 days here about 12 years ago. Stayed at the Labadi Beach Hotel (no idea what it cost, company paid). Probably the most friendly people anywhere in the world, from the taxi drivers at the airport to the people on the streets downtown. Spotless white beaches. Damn hot though, 32C when I got off the plane at 4AM; but the local beer is good and does an excellent job at cooling one down. I was supposed to stay for only 7 days, but enjoyed it so much that I happened to miss my flight out to Keyna. US$10 got me a taxi for the day and Ghana Air in downtown Accra has me sorted out with a new flight within an hour. Brilliant place, I'd go back any day. (WT-en) NJR_ZA 14:49, 22 January 2007 (EST)

trotro

Okay...I lived in accra for more than 10 months and I have an issue with the comments about tro tros. I rode around on tro tros all the time, almost every day for 10 months. In that period, I had but 1 accident, in which there were no injuries. It is true that people die on tro tros, people also die in cars and taxis and other vehicles. Mostly the danger is long distance routes at night...thats when accidents occur. In accra, tro tro fatalities are rare. Most tro tro mates don't try to rip you off, if only because other ghanaians in the bus will get angry if they do.... This was my impression but lets open this up to debate to uncover toe truth about tro tros.

Upgrade to Guide status?

This is a well-developed article which meets many of the criteria for guide status; see Wikivoyage:Guide articles. Should we upgrade, or is anything missing? /Yvwv (talk) 00:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Seriously? There are zilch eat listings. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:59, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

If it doesn't have any Eat listings, it is not even usable. Usable articles require at least 1 eat listing. ChubbyWimbus (talk) 16:23, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, to be fair there is information about a couple of restaurants that should be listingfied so it's kinda usable. Get in, Get around, See, and Sleep have enough information (the last one needs coordinates) but all the others need to be expanded for guide status. Check out some earlier DotMs to see what a guide article for a big city should look like. --Ypsilon (talk) 16:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Change of template

Under "By plane", I modified the template used next to Kotoka International Airport, as for some reason the marker template only links to the Wikipedia article for Kotoka International Airport rather than both the Wikipedia article and the Wikidata article, so I modified the template to be Template:Go in order to mitigate this issue. Changing the template from the Marker template to the Go template seems to cause the template to link to both the Wikidata article and the Wikipedia article rather than just the Wikipedia article, I hope this clears up any confusion.
