Research checklists

These checklists aim to help an average traveler to notice and write about things useful for Wikivoyage that he doesn't always need as an ordinary traveler.

We don't mean that every aspect should be included into every review or listing--but these are things that do matter for other travelers. Not all of them are equally important, but having some information is better than having none.
