Hello, Rivere123! 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. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.AHeneen (talk) 06:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it would be really helpful if you could add a template to new pages you create. It's easy when creating a new page...just click on the template (above the editbox) as appropriate (region, city, etc). Also helpful would be to add the "Ispart" template. Below the editbox is a bunch of various templates that can be added to a page...the second-to-last line is " IsPartOf: {{IsPartOf|}}". Just click this to add {{IsPartOf|}} to the page and then insert the region that a new page falls into. So for St.Martinville, that would be {{IsPartOf|St. Martin Parish }}. This greatly helps readers & editors alike with navigating the geographical hierarchy. Hopefully this doesn't sound too burdensome and I certainly am not trying to overwhelm you as a new user, but this would be a big help to editors and prevent orphaned pages (not in geographical hierarchy). Thanks for your contributions! AHeneen (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
