UN/LOCODE
Overview
UN/LOCODE - United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations, is a code system for localities on the Earth, maintained by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
UN/LOCODE usage in tango.info
Tango.info uses UN/LOCODEs to geographically organise tango information. Some articles are put into an UN/LOCODE category, others (esp. events) have the UN/LOCODE in the article title.
UN/LOCODE category
Articles that are related to a city with an UN/LOCODE, should be put in the corresponding category. This can be done be adding [[Category:ABCDE]] to the article.
Example: An article that belongs to Berlin (UN/LOCODE = "DEBER") should have [[Category:DEBER]]
One can then see all articles from that category at: Category:DEBER
UN/LOCODE in article title
Individual events are not put into categories, for them the code is in the article name.
- WEEKLY SA 20h00 CATOR Joy - CATOR: CA = Canada, CATOR = Toronto
- 2007-04-04--08 SEMMA Festival Malmo - SEMMA: SE = Sweden, SEMMA = Malmö

places without code
suburbs
Villeneuve les Avignon (FRVVL) is a suburb of Avignon (FRAVN) but Villeneuve and Avignon are in two different administrative departements and regions.
Same situation for La Tour d’Aigues (FRLTA) which is in the Aix en Provence (FRQXB) area: La Tour d’Aigues is in departement FR-84, Aix in in FR-13.
Related: In Berlin (DEBER) there are locodes for some of the boroughs/ neighbourhoods. For these, the tango.info solution is to only use DEBER for the whole city.
