== recent changes across all languages ==http://hitchwikichanges::: There is probably no rule on that, it's a decision that has to be made by the community. If you say, you want the info there, it will stay, until someone has a better idea.meteorMerging info is quite time consuming, so I prefer to have one designated spot, everyone agrees one, instead of half-updated content on both sides.com/ can <br>There are several travel wikis (wikivoyage, wikitravel, ...), but nomadwiki is one of the most free ones, so I like to improve it a bit. At some day everything shall be shown in a nice interface on trustroots as I understood, until then it would be great to have the info sorted. I try to improve the interface (forms and navigation), but they are easy to break (for example with unclosed brackets ...).<br>For public transport I am not decided myself, as some good spots are hard to reach without (for example [[Wroclaw]] has a lot of bus info intertwined with hitching tips).<br>Would it be ok to have a prominent link to nomadwiki at the end of the article to reach non-hitchhiking related info, or is that too uncomfortable? Ok, i see that public transport is useful for checking recent changes across all hitchwikis hitchhiking, but ... need to think about it :) --[[User:GuakaTraumschule|guakaTraumschule]] ([[User talk:GuakaTraumschule|talk]]) 2306:3706, 15 May 2013 3 October 2017 (CESTUTC)

== Error when adding places ==Hey guys - I'm kinda getting a little frustrated by this now as it appears nobody : There is doing anything about it[[Special:MergeHistory]] ([https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Merging_histories manual]). I have attempted to contact hitchwiki several times and just merged [[Nova gorica]] into [[Nova Gorica]], however [[Nova gorica]] has newer edits, so not had any response at all - so I'm reaching out on here to see if anyone can helprevisions could be merged. Everytime I One could try to add a place it gives me merge the other way, remove the error message - "could not add place due redirect and move [[Nova gorica]] to error"[[Nova Gorica]] afterwards. --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 13:44, 1 October 2017 (UTC):: Thanks!

== An Idea [[Hitchwiki:Migrating_content_to_other_wikis|Migrate content]] ==Content not related to [[hitchhiking]] is being moved to [[:nomad|Nomadwiki]], see [[:Category:Move to Nomadwiki|marked content to migrate]]. [[Vilnius]], [[Barcelona]] and probably others currently have doubled content. If no one opposes i will remove it. --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 22:22, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
: [[Vilnius]]: I was reading some topics on the forum squattheplanet.com do not know why this information about wifi and saw that they public transport has been removed, but I bring them back - I have some kind of discussion over people come in handy, maybe someone will come in handy too --[[User:Leburaque|Leburaque]] ([[User talk:Leburaque|talk]]) ::I agree, that you might meet when traveling around and why [{{fullurl:Vilnius|curid=1616&diff=89402&oldid=83871}} information on wifi] is good to avoid them. Some are just because they lie to you or simply because they are annoying useful, but others are there for reasons more serious as stealing all your stuffwe end up with a lot of scattered info, violent behavior or even rape. When I saw if it the first time, I thought of it as a good idea and something that to my knowledge is not around for other countries sorted. --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 17:31, 2 October 2017 (the forum is mainly about US travelersUTC).

::: Yup, I know its quite a challenge to decide when someone's comments are good enough to be trustedunderstand the approach. So that is why I come here and propose this idea::: From my point of view, getting to maybe start talking about a way and from places in which people can start reporting on other people' s behavior (or even placesbig cities to where the hitchhiking is meaningful, eventsfor example, etc) some specific places on the route is usually unfeasible without the use of public transport. Not only me but also the hitchhiker community I attend is usually interested in this fact and that this can be transmitted for example the overall price needed to drive from place A to other travelersplace B with/withouth public transportation.:Sorry, such a list would be totally illegal in Germany (where Hitchwiki is hosted & legally based) as well in other European countries. Dangerous/illegal stuff should anyway be reported to local police. Let's concentrate building better peer review / reference systems on [http://www.bewelcome.org BeWelcome] and [https://wwwI can not argue with the general rules.trustroots.org/ Trustroots]. Feel free also to improve "Awareness" section under [[Safety]]after migration, especially since I'm not sure if all elements work as they should (for example, I had a problem with the editing interface). Thanks I just thought it was automatically deleted for suggesting tho! -[[Usersome IT reason. :Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 19:57, 2 March 2015 (CET)
== Stickers Where to get stickers? ==
I've seen that [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchwiki:Community_Portal/2009-2012#T_shirts.3F 5 years ago] the idea to make Hitchwiki stickers was proposed but I have seen nothing like it on the website. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make one now that the Hitchwiki logo is quit good ?
I think that will be a very good way to spread the word about the hitchwiki, I've met a dozen of hitchhiker on the road this last week I could have give one stickers (with the url on it) to each of them. And we could stick them on hitchhiking spot

I can add an external link to an article, and never have to do a CAPTCHA. But then, when I try to edit my user page, I have to do a CAPTCHA.
