Talk:Wilderness hut

message: "Autiotupa" is a term and not a name. Is there an English translation for the title, then? JIP | Talk 13:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Google found "wilderness cottage", "solitary cabin", "empty hut", "abandoned hut". It doesn't seem like any of them would refer to this same thing, though, and they're not used that much. –Mysid(t) 13:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Found "wilderness hut", used by e.g. Metsähallitus on its Outdoors.fi site, and it seems so abundant I'll rename the article. Thanks for the suggestion. –Mysid(t) 07:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Wilderness hut is probably way to go for now, as it's used so commonly. More direct translation would be something like uninhabited/unoccupied hut/cottage. Jesh (talk) 11:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Autiotupa (finnish, in Finland) 

message: "As such, the tradition is almost solely found in Finland, and to some extent in Sweden and Norway, too." I don't know how you define 'hut' exactly, but there are very similar wilderness cabins that operate under very similar rules in many European mountain ranges (eg Romania). Where does this claim come from?--Zambaccian 21:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The claim comes from the corresponding article in the Finnish Wikipedia. I tried to search for similar articles here, but couldn't find any—that's why I translated the article as such. Now it seems like both versions should be changed a bit. –Mysid(t) 05:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I think that Wilderness hut and Backcountry hut are prime candidates for merging - the only real difference at the moment is what countries they focus on --Ozhiker (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Alan_Liefting, could you elaborate on what differences you see between the articles? I've used huts in New Zealand extensively and I think that apart from the Scandinavian focus and history, the Wilderness hut article describes the NZ huts pretty well. There are also huts in many other countries - e.g. Australia, Canada, Chile & Argentina that I've used which are not described by either article. --Ozhiker (talk) 10:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal, 2008 

message: New year, new year's merge resolution, hopefully. It's logical to have only one article for Mountain hut, Backcountry hut, Alpine hut and Wilderness hut, since there are only minimal differences between the four, and any can be easily explained in the one article (eg "alpine hut refers to a hut specifically in an alpine area"). Where should the main article go? It should probably go in Wilderness hut, since that is the most general term. It can encompass simple refuges in remote areas of any terrain type, while "mountain", "alpine" and "backcountry" all refer to specific terrains. That said, I'd also support a merge of all "mountainous areas" articles to Mountain hut. 
There was also some opposition to merging country-specific articles, such as Bothy. We had a similar discussion at Talk:Wildfire#Merge from Bushfire, about merging the Australia-specific Bushfire article. A consensus emerged to rename Bushfire Bushfires in Australia, and include a link back to the main article on non-urban fires, Wildfire. This could work here too, with an article Bothies in Scotland, including a more information link to Wilderness hut (or whichever). Thoughts? Let's resolve this. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 10:00, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Sounds like good idea to make a clear main article about different concepts and type of buildings of the similar thing in different cultures. But I wouldn't call it easy. It would probably need a few sub-articles, too. Maybe someone has done some research somewhere on this topic? Jesh (talk) 11:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge, again again, 2011 edition 

message: I merged backcountry hut into wilderness hut.  I chose wilderness hut over backcountry hut as it seems to be the more common term.  
The mountain or alpine huts appear to be different enough to warrant their own article; besides being in the mountains, in general they seem to be larger and have more services and can even be staffed.  I have been in areas where there are both types.
Bothy appears to be more of an architectural form that can be used as a wilderness hut--other examples would be a lean-to, A-frame, log cabin, etc.  Some of the bothy article should be merged here as well but I'll leave that for others with more knowledge about that topic.
