I can help 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]] to ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 22:22, 4 October 2017 (UTC) : [[Vilnius]]: I do not know why this information about wifi and public transport has been removed, but I bring them back - I have come in handy, maybe someone will come in handy too --[[User:Leburaque|Leburaque]] ([[User talk:Leburaque|talk]]) ::I agree, that [{{fullurl:Vilnius|curid=1616&diff=89402&oldid=83871}} information on wifi] is useful, but we end up with a lot of scattered info, if it is not sorted. --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[httpUser talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 17:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC) ::: Yup, I understand the approach. :::From my point of view, getting to and from places in big cities to where the hitchhiking is meaningful, for example, 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 for example the overall price needed to drive from place A to place B with//withouth public transportation. :::I can not argue with the general rules... 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). I just thought it was automatically deleted for some IT reason. :) :::: 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. Merging info is quite time consuming, so I prefer to have one designated spot, everyone agrees one, instead of half-updated content on both sides.<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 nomadwikiat 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 hitchhiking, but ... need to think about it :) --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 06:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC) :::::I think [[User:Guaka]] is behind a number of these wikis, so I'm pinging him (I think that works) for this conversation. I'm not sure what the reason was initially for spreading this information out over several wikis, but I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to combine these - that is, to have one article on a place, and then have a hitchhiking section, a sleep section, a trash section, etc. I feel like that would be more useful, make information easier to find, and make it easier to maintain. -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 18:10, 7 October 2017 (UTC) ::::::The original idea was to foster the [[:share:|culture of free sharing]] ([[:share:Sharewiki.org :About|about sharewiki]]) and [[:nomad:Nomadism|nomadism]] ([[:nomad:Nomadwiki.org:About|about nomadwiki]]) and still is. Also there is [[:couch:|couchwiki]] with more doubled content. The idea was to sort info into [[:nomad:project:How to edit|forms]] for [[:nomad:Special:FormStart/City|cities]]and [[:nomad:Special:FormStart/Country|countries]] (to use it on trustroots for example). A new version for this platform is being developed, so all content not related to hitchhiking should be stored somewhere else, see the "[[:Category:Tech_team#Developmen_log|news]]"? --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 1419:1229, 1 8 October 2017 (UTC)

You found a [[Hitchwiki:Bugs|bug]]?
== Fixed: Can we have the dumps feature back, please? ==
Hitchwiki offers [[Hitchwiki:Database_dumps|daily database dumps]], but they are not there. Would be nice for [[Hitchwiki:Offline|offline use]].
== Error when adding places Map is read-only without tiles ==Hey guys - I'm kinda getting a little frustrated by this now as it appears nobody is doing anything about it. I have attempted to contact hitchwiki several times and not had any response at all - so I'm reaching out on here to see if anyone can help. * Everytime I try to add a place it gives me the error message - "could not add place due to error". I've tried this in several browsers. Also when typing in locations into the search box for the map I'm just taken to places in Germany. Please can someone have a look at these bugs? I've been requesting a fix for a long time. Thank you. -- [[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] Dec. 8, 2016: can you please name the exact steps to reproduce it? I have * no problems login# i just created an account# if i go to create a wiki pagehttp://hitchwiki. where do you see org/maps/# and press 'login'# i get back the error message? could same page, no username/password box# and my browser nags about 'sharing location' which i denied# so, it seems to be related reproducable :)* '''no tiles''': the link to the database server or the captcha?map tiles is broken

::Thanks for your reply! I'm currently working as a member of Pywikibot team on making Pywikibot support OAuth. Pywikibot team would be very happy to run OAuth regression tests for Hitchwiki once it has OAuth working.
