This will stop showing your name in red and it will give your contributions more validity.  Also, if you are not a native speaker of a language, it might be worthwhile to access hitchwiki.org using Firefox and download the dictionary from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 Mozilla] for the language in which you are writing your contribution, so that you can spell-check what you're typing. If you're editing the English language wiki, I'd suggest to use US spelling, but feel free to voice your objections.

Now there is quite some free space. However, I think it is good to keep the mainpage simple and not too overloaded (and also keep in future just the last 10 site news entries). Any suggestions about what could be added there or how the page could be reordered? I would suggest to move the picture of the now to the left column and also put there a field with the most important content with a symbol (e.g. general info Top Tips, Where, Safety, Signs, First time, Picking up hitchhikers, country info). Maybe one of the design and graphic program gifted people could make some icons for this... It might also be worth to think about which content is important for new people (e.g. move the site news - what is normally for the more frequent users - to the right bottom side... --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 19:28, 23 July 2008 (CEST) :: I would also suggest to fix the ''edit'' buttons in the top box.

An example, what to use for Brugge (I just bumped into it)? It's now to be found under [[Bruges]], which I think is licensed wrong. Cities should be put under CC the name they are known in the country they are and if necessary there can be a redirection page for foreign-language versions of the name.:I think we already had that discussion a long time ago, and agreed to use the English names, wherever they are common. This seemed most logical for an English-speaking wiki. In general, we try to stick to wikipedia's standards for that. I think it's not so much of an issue, because we always try to set redirects for all possible languages, so everyone will always find what one's looking for. (Although we are not really consequent, like at [[Köln]]). But Bruges seems to be the English name for Brugge. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)::Missed that discussion, probably before I joined, but my eur 0.02?

Wechner indicated finance as one the four main motivations for hitchhiking, the other one being adventure, environment and social sharing [http://bernd.wechner.info/Hitchhiking/Suite101/Article/?03]. The incentive to this question at the moment is mainly the current economic crisis that is in execution among banks, governments, public and business that in all likeliness will last for many many years to come, mostly in Northern America and Europe. Following the recent news there seems to be already some reason to be concerned (which applies mostly to people who are in debt). In other words - would economic recession / depression increase again the number of hitchhikers, which in the US and Europe basicly ''used to be'' in decline since the 1980s. Will hitchhiking in the US and EU increase and popularize due to increasing poverty in the coming ten to twenty years? Such macro economic developments are fascinating. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 15:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC) :Let's start an article about this!

Hej! :::: 'I thought the main page should just wouldn't add list of hitchhikers visible by default' - Why not? Because there are not all contributers? Not a big thing in my opinion, not everybody wants to be an overview with the countries linked there and without citiesit could be named accordingly. I can't think of any other reasons.. Did . but I am curious to get to know some more views on this. My point is that it wrong? gives a more personal touch to the technical wiki, it is about real people (as somebody also stated in why he works for Hitchwiki). Arguments around this more personal touch of Hitchwiki are welcomed too. -- deleea[[User:Alex|Alex]] 04:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Before discovering this place for discussion I already filled some boxes eg about Virgin hh, Poland and the Netherlands. On one hand this wiki is a good idea, because it has some (very small) potential to become an interesting source of information. However, ::::: I am not expecting this at all. Which does not need [[User:Mikael/Main_Page_09_a|tested]] to mean anything. Any new business usually takes some time - up float gallery to three or five years - to make a little bit more than it coststhe right, and so it might be with this initiative. As for what I've read but it's some kind of start. However, I have doubts about the general neutrality of the content for nownot working with smaller (under 1200px width) resolutions. For example :- I read that a country can be skipped if an attempt to hitchhike there does not succeed. What a bullshit! This may be reasonable for random long distance travellers, however many people who hitchhike do so for very different reasons. For example because they don't have money, because there is no public transport and so on. Hitchhiking in the Netherlands "is possible". / With 24"It's possible" for some, for others it is easy, not just possiblelooking great. So, my comment is a very positive one - I hope :- which tries to say. What is the neutral point of view? Ah, I see that the hitchhikers point of view is wanted. If so, what is a hitchhiker, and what is the hitchhikers point of view? If a nonD -hitchhiker wanted to hitchhike out of town[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 17:35, what would be his or her point of view? That's all. It's an ambitious project you're thinking of. All the best with it. Regards Frank Verhart. Note - please don't copy information 26 January 2009 (textUTC) from my website. It is copyrighted material that I do not offer for publication elsewhere. PS - I don't like the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Hey Hitchhikers! Just joined the new hitchhiking wiki here-- whew! there have been a few moves in these last 2 years, hope we are all able to make this a permanent stay here on hitchwiki.org.I contributed to hitchhikingguide.org :The '''News''' and hitchhiking.wikia.com but do not feel the need '''Events''' boxes don't adapt themselves to mark which contributions belong to me within this new wiki. As you will see from my user page, I am creator/webmaster/co-editor of digihitch.com. Some of the information I personally collected for digihitch I will also share herescreenwidth, and as with all hitchhikers I have a ton of info that has not yet been written. As I hitchhike primarily in the USA, I will have most to contribute to that section. (Don't believe the misinformation found on the web... there are still tens of thousands of hitchhikers in the USA).I -and the digihitch community- would really appreciate it if you cite digihitch.com for all information you collect from there. The website which is community-run and has been the hard work of many world hitchhikers for over 5 years. Support our community when possible and all hitchhikers will benefitextremely annoying! I must admit that I was opposed to a hitchhiking wiki when Teppo first suggested it to me in April 2005. We at digihitch.com had just launched our [http://www.digihitch.com/world/ digihitch World] section and I believed that all information would be best shared there among registered members (without all the spam maintenance required of a wiki), but since that time I understand the value of a wiki such as this and will attempt to share unbiased contributions where possible.Revel and Roll, [[User:SalmanPrino|Morgan 'Salman'Prino]] 2100:38 01 December 2006 28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It gives an error message and then you can't add anything Anyone else experiencing this problem? 15th November 2016. All templates are out of order, because they have a "<nowiki>{{ #</nowiki>" at their beginning in the whole wiki. -[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 09:51, 4 October 2012 (CEST): Thanks for noting. We know about this bug, but as far as I know, it only affect the Isin-Template? A quick Check on [[Germany]] which has a lot of templates shows me that most of them work fine. Please let us know if you know of any specific template that is broken as well --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] ([[User talk:MrTweek|talk]]) 09:58, 4 October 2012 (CEST): many templates which I use for the motorways are broken: {{ramp}} {{junction}} {{gas}} {{rest}} {{very good}} {{good}}, look at {{Ade|1}} --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 14:44, 8 October 2012 (CEST) * I don't know about the templates (except IsIn) but the all the links to Trashwiki aren't in the toolbow anymore, but at the end of the page... I speak about the french version (exemple: [http://hitchwiki.org/fr/Prague], at the end of the page). For the english version, they just disappeared... Even if they are still in the editing page. --[[User:Klodreamer|Klodreamer]] ([[User talk:Klodreamer|talk]]) 18:34, 9 October 2012 (CEST) * It seems to me, that for all pictures, which have been uploaded before October, the original files have been gone. That lead to the above problem, that my templates don't run any more. --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 17:55, 15 October 2012 (CEST): I just re-imported them, so most images should work again. Please let me know, if there are still a lot missing. If there are only a few missing, we can just upload them again manually. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]^{([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])} 04:32, 28 October 2012 (CET)* I'm already missing some symbols: {{rest}} {{average}} {{bad}} {{senseless}}, the logo don't show up, in the German wiki also the template ''gut'' has no picture. --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 16:06, 3 November 2012 (CET) == new bug ==

::I'm subscribed since In my opinion the advertisement for Trustroots does not need to be here for years, mainly because Hitchwiki could (should!) behave like a proper commercial free, independent wiki, without its own agenda. The advertisement can repel potential users from Hitchwiki. Online hospex is not the end of october 2006 same as hitch-hiking either and received 58 mails so farcertainly not all hitch-hikers are interested in such service. --[[User:MrTweekFverhart|MrTweekFverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:1113, 13 May 2007 21 July 2016 (CEST)
