''"Oh, I just found out a really cool new spot in a funky city that has not been added to the hitchwiki yet... I want to do that! But how?"''
Anyone maybe feels like this someday, and after a minute he/she maybe thinks about '''how''' to begin with a new article.
===Well, it's easy: Just start! :)=== 
But to avoid a lot of editing and to make it all a bit nicer, maybe this guideline could be helpful:
 
* First, use the Search function. Maybe there is also an entry for you city. Attention: Maybe it has a different name in its language (e.g. [[Köln]] in ''German'' is [[Cologne]] in ''English'', etc.)! If not, fantastic! Just click on '''You can create this page!''' (Also, clicking on a <span style='color:red'>red link</span> will let you create a new page.
 *Write some general information about the city. What's it's name, to which country does it belong, is it boring, fantastic, whatever. Have a look at [[Berlin]], [[Hannover]] or [[Hörstel]] to get some ideas about that! (Don't write too much, Wikipedia is the right place for the history, geography and such.) *The hitching information! To have a common layout, most people try to write the articles in a style like this:
<pre>
<nowiki>'''Rome''' is the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla....</nowiki>
==Hitching Out== ===North/South/West/East towards [[Napoli]]===
Information about the spot
*Alternative spot*2nd alternative ...
==Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==</pre>
And this is what it looks like:  <div style="display:table; width:auto; border: dashed 2px black;">'''Rome''' is the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla.... ==Hitching OutPersonal Experiences == ===North/South/West/East towards [[Napoli]]===Information about Put your personal experiences with Rome here, don't mix them with the spot *Alternative spot*2nd alternative ... ==Alternative hitching out information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==!
</pre>
And this is what it looks like:
<div style="display:table; padding:20px; margin-left:50px; width:auto; border: dashed 2px black;">
'''Rome''' is the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla....
==Hitching Out== ===North/South/West/East towards [[Napoli]]===
Information about the spot
*Alternative spot*2nd alternative ... ==Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==</pre>
And this is what it looks like== Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc.. ==
<div style="display:table; width:auto; border: dashed 2px black;">= Personal Experiences =='''Put your personal experiences with Romehere, don''' is t mix them with the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla....objective information!==Hitching Out==</div>
===North/South/WestGreat! That's it! Easy, hum? If you have fun with it, you can also add a [[How to add maps to articles|map]] from [[liftershalte.info]] and/East towards or edit more pages! Generally, ''don't panic'' about style, spelling, layout and things like that, there are a bunch of other hitchhikers looking at [[NapoliSpecial:Recentchanges|all the edits on this wiki]]===, and they will help you whereever they can!
Information about the spot *Alternative spotHave fun!
*2nd alternative ..== More =='''For going deeper into this topic, visit [[How to add maps to articles]] or [[How to create a navigation box]].'''
==Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==
