Hi! I see that you've found Wikivoyage from Wikipedia, where you appear to be an experienced editor. Like Wikipedia, Wikitravel is a MediaWiki and is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. There are, however, some differences between the projects... Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians and Wikivoyage:Links to Wikipedia give a bit of info but in general a valid topic for an article will be a city or region, an itinerary or a travel-related topic such as a phrasebook. Even obvious travel destinations like the Alamo are listed in their respective cities (San Antonio, presumably) instead of given their own pages. This means that a link like limestone which sensibly points to the geologic stone in Wikipedia will almost certainly either not work or point to something else. Oddly enough, there's a w:Limestone, Maine (from WP: "Limestone is a town in Aroostook County, Maine, United States. The population was 2,314 at the 2010 census...") and we have an article on this place as our entry for Limestone.

I've removed the links in Israel National Trail to anything that isn't a city, as these are unlikely to get a full article here. I also removed a link to Levi as that seems to be a place in Finland. If I've made a mistake, please feel free to change it back... I'm a bit new here too and there seem to be many differences. K7L (talk) 23:00, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
