== An Idea == I was reading some topics on the forum squattheplanet.com and saw that they have some kind of discussion over people that you might meet when traveling around and why is good Where to avoid them. Some are just because they lie to you or simply because they are annoying but others are there for reasons more serious as stealing all your stuff, violent behavior or even rape. When I saw it the first time, I thought of it as a good idea and something that to my knowledge is not around for other countries (the forum is mainly about US travelers). Im thinking that HW is such a popular website that could host some sort of list of sketchy people and hopefully minimize incidents on fellow travelers that visit this site.  I know its quite a challenge to decide when someone's comments are good enough to be trusted. So that is why I come here and propose this idea, to maybe start talking about a way in which people can start reporting on other people' s behavior (or even places, events, etc) and that this can be transmitted to other travelers.: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://www.trustroots.org/ Trustroots]. Feel free also to improve "Awareness" section under [[Safety]].

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.

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
:: Alright, I found the file [http://hitchwiki.org/en/File:Hw-sticker-7x7cm%2B2mm-bleed.jpg here] and mikael propose to ship some of them on [http://www.mikaelkorpela.fi/blog/who-wants-hitchwiki-stickers/ his blog]. --[[User:LowBat|LowBat]] ([[User talk:LowBat|talk]]) 03:49, 1 September 2015 (CEST)

Is it possible to merge page histories? I just copied and pasted the text from [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Nova_gorica&diff=80408&oldid=80375 Nova gorica] to [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Nova_Gorica&diff=80407&oldid=79201 Nova Gorica] to have all the information in one place, but if we could merge the histories that would be much better for proper attribution. -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 17:48, 6 September 2015 (CEST)

: The left one== Table of Contents issues ==In articles that have a short lead and an infobox, the Table of Contents messes up the formatting (see [[Sarajevo]], for example).

== Dev questions Error when adding places ==What 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 best 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 development related questions/the map I'm just taken to places in Germany. Please can someone have a look at these bugs currently? I found [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki/issues GitHub] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/hitchwiki google group], but they seem to be inactive 've been requesting a fix for at least half a yearlong time. Thank you.--[[User:AlexxyLooking for Stu|alexyLooking for Stu]] ([[User talkDec. 8, 2016:Alexxy|talk]]) 17:11, 14 December 2015 (CET)can you please name the exact steps to reproduce it? I have no problems to create a wiki page. where do you see the error message? could it be related to the database server or the captcha?
== CAPTCHA bug ==
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. Every time I resubmit the form, it sends me back to the edit page asks me to do the CAPTCHA. So I can't add external links to my user page at the moment. -[[User:Dr.Keith|Keith]] Feb. 11, 2016
