Welcome

Hello Clovermoss! 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!

If you were wondering, we don't use references here; nonetheless, thanks for your update to Niagara Falls! --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 02:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Listings

Hey, continuing from our off-wiki conversation about listings, here's a general guide:

• To add numbers on listings, you would need to fill out the |lat= and |long= fields. If they are blank, no number will appear.
• Generally coordinates are only added for places that are in a permanent location – it's completely normal for listings for festivals to have no coordinates and therefore no numbering (a good example would be York#Events and festivals).
• If there are multiple listings, but say only the third listing has its |lat= and |long= fields filled out, the third listing will appear as number 1 (as you probably noticed in Thorold).
• The numbers are clickable – if you happen to click on them, you'll be taken to the dynamic map in full screen. The main purpose of the numbers is to match them on a map.

I think that's it, but I might have missed something – feel free to chuck me a ping (here on this talk page, in edit summaries or on Discord, whatever suits you) or leave me a message on my talk page if you have any more questions.

Cheers :-).

Thank you. I appreciate this a lot. Clovermoss (talk) 01:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@SHB2000: My enwiki instincts may have gotten the better of me. Do these italics mean anything? Should I have kept them? Clovermoss (talk) 00:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

No I don't believe so (i.e. italics were erroneous) – cheers for removing them. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 02:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
