How to contribute

What we really want is for you to be a successful contributor to Wikivoyage. Here's some information that might help you get started:

What article should I try to edit first?

There are lots of ways to help Wikivoyage. Here's one: Search for a city or other place you're already familiar with and read the article. (Your hometown? Your favorite vacation spot? Where you grew up?) Look through the article and ask yourself: What's missing? What's out of date? Did any listed place close during the pandemic, or change their prices or opening hours? Is there enough information that a traveller who had only this article could get to the destination, find a place to sleep, choose a restaurant to eat at, and find something to do? You can also look at some good articles to get an idea of what kind of information is usually included.

What kinds of edits should I make?

Wikivoyage is not like Wikipedia, so please don't copy content from Wikipedia or other websites. The traveller comes first, so everything in the article should be useful for a traveller. We want practical information about the places and attractions you could recommend. Enthusiastic endorsements are good ("three heated swimming pools and panoramic ocean views from every room"), but don't tout ("best food" or "near all major attractions"). If you want to add a less common type of information (afternoon tea? birdwatching? medical centre?), see where you can stick it.

How do I edit?

We use listing templates to organize the contact information and other details that would be useful to a traveller. New listings (e.g., a restaurant or hotel) can be added to a section by clicking the [add listing] button. This will open a simple fill-in-the-blank form for you. If you're not sure what belongs in a blank, check the listings cheatsheet. Existing listings can be edited by clicking the small, light gray "edit" button at the end of an existing listing. Articles can also be edited in the normal wikitext and visual editors, by clicking the "Edit" buttons.

I want to create a new article.

This is welcome, but may require a bit more work on your part. First, search to see whether the article is truly missing. If it is, then see Wikivoyage:What is an article? This is our equivalent of Wikipedia's notability rules. If it seems like a valid destination, feel free to create the article. Please add your new article to the geographical hierarchy as soon as possible.

I think I need some help.

The English Wikivoyage has a friendly community. You can ask for help at the newcomers' Arrivals lounge or at the central Travellers' pub.
