Hotat Bani Tamim is currently missing from the database under Riyadh Province, as you reported.

The process for adding missing cities is manual: contributors edit the relevant JSON file (for Saudi Arabia, that's contributions/cities/SA.json) and submit a pull request—IDs are auto-assigned by the system. This approach has resolved similar missing city issues for Saudi Arabia, including cities under Riyadh and other provinces, with updates typically handled quickly by maintainers (example).

If you'd like to contribute the missing city, you can follow the steps in the contribution guide. Let me know if you need help with the process or have any questions.

@dosu
can share the example of changes which I can do in JSON file

[dosubot]

Here’s an example of how to add "Hotat Bani Tamim" to contributions/cities/SA.json:

You need to append a new object at the end of the array (do not include an id field—IDs are auto-assigned). Required fields are: name, state_id, state_code, country_id, country_code, latitude, and longitude. You can add optional fields like timezone, native, translations, and wikiDataId if you have them. Use authoritative sources for coordinates and names.

Example:

{
  "name": "Hotat Bani Tamim",
  "state_id": 2851,           // Riyadh's state_id (confirm in contributions/states/states.json)
  "state_code": "01",         // Riyadh's state_code (confirm in contributions/states/states.json)
  "country_id": 194,          // Saudi Arabia's country_id (confirm in contributions/countries/countries.json)
  "country_code": "SA",
  "latitude": "23.5250",      // Example coordinates, verify for accuracy
  "longitude": "46.8372",
  "timezone": "Asia/Riyadh",
  "native": "حوطة بني تميم",
  "translations": {
    "ar": "حوطة بني تميم",
    "en": "Hotat Bani Tamim"
  },
  "wikiDataId": "Q1256232"
}

Make sure to validate your JSON before submitting. You can leave out optional fields if you don’t have the data. For more details, see the contribution guide and check recent examples.

Let me know if you need help finding the correct IDs or coordinates!

@dosu
What would be branch name ?

[dosubot]

You can use any descriptive branch name—there’s no strict rule. For your change, something like add-city-hotat-bani-tamim or feature/add-hotat-bani-tamim works well. Just pick a name that clearly describes the addition you’re making.
