==Why not to add to [http://wikitravel.org Wikitravel]Related projects ==* It gets lost in big articles containing irrelevant information for hitchhikers.* A lot of stuff on Wikitravel gets deleted.* Wikitravel still doesn't provide a database dump and that is needed to make versions for devices like phones.** Hitchwiki database dumps are available at http://www.hitchwiki.org/dumps/

Of course=== [http://wikitravel.org/ Wikitravel] ===As of 2009 Wikitravel uses the same license, so it 's possible to copy stuff back and forth. It could be good to add information about hitchhiking to Wikitravel - just to promote the concept to a wider public. Note though that hitching info will get lost in big articles containing a lot of irrelevant information for hitchhikers. Apart from that, a lot of stuff on Wikitravel simply gets deleted. Also note that Wikitravel still doesn't provide a database dump and that is suggested you doubly-license your work here under both needed to make versions for devices like phones. (Hitchwiki database dumps are available at http://hitchwiki.org/dumps/). Since 2012 much of the GFDL editor activity (and a significant amount of the CCreadership) has moved to the non-BY-SA licenses profit [https://en.wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage], a direct competitor with the support of Wikipedia's parent organization (all versions, since Wikitravel is still on version 1.0see below).

==Why not to add to = [httphttps://wikipediaen.wikivoyage.org WikipediaWikivoyage]===* Hitchhiking info doesnWikivoyage is the non-profit alternative to Wikitravel, run by the Wikimedia Foundation (like Wikipedia). Most of Wikitravel't really fit well into an encyclopedias original editors [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikitravel#Community_fork_in_2012 moved to Wikivoyage] in 2012 after major commercialization of Wikitravel and dissatisfaction with its management. It is also distributed under the same license as Hitchwiki, so things can be copied back and forth from it too, and it may also be a good place to spread the word about hitchhiking.

==Why not add = [http://wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] ===Practical hitchhiking info doesn't really fit well into an encyclopedia, but there are some noteworthy articles though, and it's good to other spread knowledge about hitchhiking in an encyclopedic way. === Other hitchhiking websites===# * There are no other [[websites about hitchhiking|websites primarily about hitchhiking]] using a free license. If there are any: please mention, it might be possible to cooperate.# There are no other wikis about hitchhiking. And wikis are cool![[Category:Philosophy]]
