Suggestions for your log page
In no particular order:
- use real html where possible, it will allow you to port the data to your own site if you ever want to do so,
- use "," separators in distances and make them right-aligned,
- use dates in ISO 8601 format, YYYY-MM-DD, and
- make your table sortable, and example can be found at Frank Verhart's "Type of hitching spot table"
I did have extensive logs on this site, but a fall-out with some of the burocrats, and the utter trash that the Media-Wiki markup is made me decide to move to my own site on Neocities, the basic sites there are free, I pay USD 5 per month for more space, and, more importantly, the ability to add more file types. Email me, address on that page, to get access to an extended "homepage", and my logs of rides since 1980. The program I used to generate my wiki-logs here is still available, but it requires your data to be in a particular format that is, let's shall I say, a bit convoluted, but I have a fully supported program that generates the logs that I use on it, complete with all links between them.
And for what it's worth, in 1982 I hitched to Nordkapp via Sweden, going back via Finland (Kautokeine turned out to be a black hole, took a bus to Rovaniemi), and as the Baltics were at the time still part of the Soviet-Union, I took the ferry from Turku to Stockholm.
Finally, I rarely visit this site nowadays, if you want to contact me do so by email, I don't have any presence on "social" media, other than LinkedIn.

User rights
Hi, I think you could've already checked new sign ups, but I just "changed group membership for Chris9012 from administrator to administrator and check user" so now you should definitely be able to confirm account requests at Special:ConfirmAccounts. Currently the queue is empty though. guaka (talk) 15:47, 1 October 2024 (CEST)
-It doesn't work:
Permission error You do not have permission to review and accept accounts, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Bureaucrats.
Maybe it worked before, but I didn't know HOW to do approve new users.

pywikibot
Hi Chris, it's easier now to run pywikibot on hitchwiki, at least easier than a decade ago. If you want to give it a try, you may be able to automate a lot of stuff with it. Happy to help you get started. See also https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hwpybot guaka (talk) 17:07, 23 November 2024 (CET)
- Hej Guaka! I just had a look at it, but I'm not a programmer and I don't think I'm gonna learn programming for this. If I'm overtaken by a bot I'll be happy, but untill than I'll keep doing it the tedious way.Chris9012 (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2024 (CET)
Delete account
Hello Chris,
how do I delete my account ? Clicking on "More" or "Preferences" button is not working.
Thank you.
- I don't think that is possible.
