Welcome, and advice about listings
[edit]
Hello 216.56.81.34! 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 tagging → article status
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 Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
About listings, such as hotel listings: Please use a Wikivoyage:Listings template (you can click the bed icon above your edit screen to produce a blank "Sleep" listing; then just fill in information but don't delete any unused fields) and put it in the article for the town in question or the nearest town we have an article for. So, for example, please go ahead and copy any needed information from the left side of this page and put it in a listing in the article for the nearest town. Also, never put equals signs in listings.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,

- Please stop changing "Go next" sections to "Sleep" (or worse, "Places to stay") sections, and please follow my instructions above about where and how to add listings. If you continue this way, it will unfortunately be necessary to suspend your editing privileges. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
