What the name really means

The entry you encountered is not a city at all but a technical redirect used by Wikipedia editors. In practice, no urban settlement called "Caves" registers in official gazetteers. travellers looking for cave‑rich destinations should instead focus on recognised locales – for example, the limestone karsts of Guilin, China, or the speleological parks of Slovenia – where the word appears in the place‑name rather than as a generic noun.

How to avoid the dead‑end

When a search yields a redirect page, the next step is to verify the intended target. A good practice is to append a region or qualifier (e.g., "Caves, New Mexico" or "Caves town, South Africa") before hitting the search engine. Mapping services and national tourism boards will then return genuine localities, allowing you to plan visits, check accommodation and discover any nearby subterranean attractions that might have inspired the ambiguous label.

The editorial lesson for travellers

Wikipedia’s internal housekeeping – such as tracking unprintable titles and plural forms – illustrates how digital reference tools manage ambiguity. For the wanderer, this is a reminder to cross‑check any place name that sounds generic. A quick glance at an official map or a reputable guidebook can confirm whether you are dealing with a populated centre, a natural feature, or simply a placeholder awaiting a proper article.

Introduction

Redirect to:CaveThis page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect: From an unprintworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would not be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information. From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form. This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see WP:NOTBROKEN). Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead. When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
