DeutschHello, Schau99! 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 need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.
Thanks for improving the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park travel guide! As Africa is one of Wikivoyage's weaker coverage areas, it's always good to see articles from there growing. --Ypsilon (talk) 19:10, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- You're welcome! With such empty spaces, people who use WikiVoyage won't pay much attention. I hope to continue adding more useful information in WikiVoyage! Schau99 (talk) 22:19, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Listings templates
[edit source]Hi, and thanks again for adding so much content! Is it possible you could use Wikivoyage:Listings templates for the entries you put in Mussulo Island#Sleep, including location and contact information?
All the best,
Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- I can try. I never did such before but I'll do my best! Schau99 (talk) 17:32, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- The easiest way to put listings templates in an article is to click one of the icons above your edit screen. For "Sleep", click the bed icon; for "Eat", the knife and spoon icon; etc. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:59, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. Very helpful! Will do @Ikan Kekek! Schau99 (talk) 22:38, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

- Check the preview, select Upload as new file and type the new file name according to the above instructions
- Press Upload
- After successful upload, check the new file and add it to the appropriate category "Category:Wikivoyage banners of "

- How do I do the second part of the 7th step? Schau99 (talk) 01:18, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- At the bottom of the page, where categories are shown, click the + sign. Ground Zero (talk) 02:01, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
You cant just ignore Wikivoyage policy. I will start removing banners that you add that are not the correct size. Ground Zero (talk) 11:47, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Then maybe you can create those banners yourself as I still can’t be able to make one properly. ~2026-49446-29 (talk) 15:24, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- What is the problem that you are encountering? Which step of the explanation above? Ground Zero (talk) 15:28, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- It’s mainly the dimensions. Schau99 (talk) 15:39, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- What I do in Croptool is that I select the width that I want using the blue selection box in the picture. On the right, you will see the numeric value for the width. Then in the "height" field you can enter the desired height. So if the width you have selected is 700, enter "100" (1/7 of 700). That works for me. Ground Zero (talk) 03:20, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- Ok. I can try. But still, it is a bit tricky. Schau99 (talk) 14:34, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- It is not the easiest thing. It took me a while because I am an old person and technology is not easy for me, but with some practice, I am sure you will figure it out. Ground Zero (talk) 20:05, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- I just made one for Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Can you please look and see if it is good? Schau99 (talk) 13:30, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, that looks good. Thank you for contributing to Wikivoyage. Ground Zero (talk) 00:48, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! I think I am starting to get a hang of it now. Schau99 (talk) 00:56, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

Your privacy and use of the Travel Tracker
[edit source]In April, Wikivoyage introduced the Travel Tracker (also known as "My Travel Map") in the user menu at top right. It has recently come to our attention that the initial version of the tool did not make clear that maps created through it are public and are associated with your account. Users who used the tool and published a map may have their map deleted by emailing a request for oversight. We apologize for this matter.
