		New connection: Flint (or maybe better: Flint extraction) WHS where flint was extracted. Historically, flint was widely used to make stone tools and start fires. Krzemionki prehistoric flint mines Neolithic Flint Mines at Spiennes Mons Klint: "The impact of the geological heritage has shaped local history from land use practices to material culture, e.g. prolonged use of flint stone in tool making." (AB ev) Archaeological Sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn : "two Neolithic flint mines connected with workshop areas for stone tool-making" (OUV statement)

		elsslots: Krzemionki prehistoric flint mines I have a rationale for the flint in Krzemionki prehistoric flint mines: "Krzemionki is an ensemble of four mining sites (...) dedicated to the extraction and processing of striped flint, which was mainly used for axe-making. With its underground mining structures, flint workshops and some 4,000 shafts and pits, the property features one of the most comprehensive prehistoric underground flint extraction and processing systems identified to date." (Official description) – "It is also the most completely preserved and wholly readable socio-technical system of prehistoric underground flint mining and processing and illustrates the greatest range of prehistoric flint mining techniques known in a single property." (OUV)

		Connection: Poaching Simien National Park – "Large areas of the unique afro-alpine habitat in the region, which are the main stronghold for the Ethiopian wolf, remain outside the boundaries of the Park and some efforts are underway to protect them by modifying the boundaries of the Park and to reduce poaching on the ibex." (Decision 25 BUR V.29-33) Already existing, but adding or changing the rationale Connection: Canyons Simien National Park – "The mountains are bounded by deep valleys to the north, east and south, and offer vast vistas over the rugged-canyon like lowlands below. The spectacular scenery of the Simien mountains is considered to rival the Grand Canyon (USA)." (OUV)

		Jurre: Already existing, but changing/adding rationale: Connection: Extended from original TWHS Viking Age Ring Fortresses – The Trelleborg fortresses - 2010-2018 – "In January 2009, Viking-Age Ring Fortresses of Aggersborg, Fyrkat and Trelleborg were included on Denmark's UNESCO Tentative List of candidate World Heritage sites. Nonnebakken and Borgring were not part of the application in 2009 for different reasons: Borgring was not identified as a member of the group of Viking-Age Ring Fortresses until 2014 and Nonnebakken was in 2009 thought to be almost destroyed. Later excavations at both sites have however, changed the situation. Consideration of an application for the inclusion of Viking-Age Ring Fortresses on UNESCO´s World Heritage List therefore necessitates all five fortresses – the group or system – to be nominated." (Nomination file, p. 143) Now the rationale troubles are over, can this rationale be amended? Thanks!

		Connection: Damaged in War since WWII Simien National Park – "The Committee recalled that this Park was abandoned by its staff in 1985 due to civil unrest in the area. The Committee was happy to note that the site had once again become accessible. On the basis of a report submitted by the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Organization, the Committee was informed that all field stations and other infrastructure of the Park had been destroyed." (Decision 15 COM VIII)

		Connection: Nominated 2026, etc.: I know nominated sites are listed under "WHC Sessions", but it took me a long time to figure this out (a bit of a hidden feature, IMHO). - Simply having (in addition) a connection "Nominated 2026", "Nominated 2027" etc. would add a lot of value, as many of us are actively visiting such sites.

		aturtschi: would add a lot of value, as many of us are actively visiting such sites. The term "nominated" and the year is repeated every time the site appears, in the country pages, on the Tentative List, the pink stars on the maps etc And they have separate pages such as WHC 2026. I don't see what a connection would add to that, it is just another list of the same.

		Not really a connection. When it comes to ease of use, we can add a rewrite. @Els. I can add a rewrite for nominated/\d\d\d\d. You can actually configure those directly.

		elsslots: The term "nominated" and the year is repeated every time the site appears [...] on the Tentative List But do they really? - "Aalto Works" is nominated for 2026, but does not appear on the Tentative List (https://www.worldheritagesite.org/tentative/) - at least not for me - in fact it seems none of the nominated sites appear on the tentative list.

		aturtschi: it seems none of the nominated sites appear on the tentative list. It seems they have disappeared indeed. Will fix. Please use the technical backlog topic for further discussion if necessary. This topic is about connections only
