Welcome to Wikivoyage
editHello Hrbackpacker! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub notes → Article status notes
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Another thing we do differently from Wikipedia is that we don't use footnotes. If there is need to back up an assertion through a link or by pointing to a book, do so on the respective talk page. Otherwise just frontlinking the corresponding link (e.g. for the price of a service) is usually of more value to the voyager Hobbitschuster (talk) 00:05, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
