== Where to get stickers? ==:::::I think [[User:Guaka]] is behind a number of these wikis, so I've seen m pinging him (I think that [http://hitchwikiworks) for this conversation.org/en/Hitchwiki:Community_Portal/2009-2012#T_shirts.3F 5 years ago] I'm not sure what the idea to make Hitchwiki stickers reason was proposed initially for spreading this information out over several wikis, but I have seen nothing like wonder if it on the website. Wouldnwouldn't it be a good idea make more sense to make one now combine these - that the Hitchwiki logo is quit good ?, to have one article on a place, and then have a hitchhiking section, a sleep section, a trash section, etc. I think feel like that will would be a very good way more useful, make information easier to spread the word about the hitchwikifind, I've met a dozen of hitchhiker on the road this last week I could have give one stickers (with the url on and make it) easier to each of them. And we could stick them on hitchhiking spotWhat do you think ?[[User:LowBat|LowBat]] ([[User talk:LowBat|talk]]) 16:52, 16 August 2015 (CEST) : Actually there are now Hitchwiki stickers.

What do you think ? --[[User:Dxc|Dxc]], 13. October 2020
:You're super welcome to design one! I'm sure we could crowdfund to finance printing them. For the time being, [[File:Hw-sticker-7x7cm%2B2mm-bleed.jpg|here again the link to the existing design]] if anyone feels like printing them.--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 10:53, 13 October 2020 (CEST)
== Page spam protection request? ==
Not sure if this is the right place for me to ask, but I wonder if a sysop could help protect the page [[Hitchhiking a boat]]. There's a new account that appears to have joined Hitchwiki solely to remove any criticism of boat-finding website FindACrew.net and any mention of advantages to its competitor, Crewbay. Based on discussions on the talk page, the new user does not appear to be a hitchhiker, is ideologically opposed to travelers getting things for free, and has refused to wait for consensus to make changes. I have agreed to some of their more reasonable points, but they keep insisting on adding copious details of FindACrew's business model, and have also made surprising edits such as adding the company's slogan, adding a "TM" mark next to its name, and guilt-tripping readers for using a free service from a competitor. Any guidance or opinions are very welcome, but I suspect in the end this is just going to need to be treated as spam.

:Seems like since you last fixed it up, it has been quiet. You can send me a pm if it becomes a nuisance again, okay? --[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 12:29, 7 October 2020 (CEST)
== Article wishlist ==
''I found no other place with article wishes, shall we have a list here?''

== [[Hitchwiki:Migrating_content_to_other_wikis|Migrate content]] ==
:::: There is probably no rule on that, it's a decision that has to be made by the community. If you say, you want the info there, it will stay, until someone has a better idea. Merging info is quite time consuming, so I prefer to have one designated spot, everyone agrees one, instead of half-updated content on both sides.<br>There are several travel wikis (wikivoyage, wikitravel, ...), but nomadwiki is one of the most free ones, so I like to improve it a bit. At some day everything shall be shown in a nice interface on trustroots as I understood, until then it would be great to have the info sorted. I try to improve the interface (forms and navigation), but they are easy to break (for example with unclosed brackets ...).<br>For public transport I am not decided myself, as some good spots are hard to reach without (for example [[Wroclaw]] has a lot of bus info intertwined with hitching tips).<br>Would it be ok to have a prominent link to nomadwiki at the end of the article to reach non-hitchhiking related info, or is that too uncomfortable? Ok, i see that public transport is useful for hitchhiking, but ... need to think about it :) --[[User:Traumschule|Traumschule]] ([[User talk:Traumschule|talk]]) 06:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
:: Alright, I found ::::The original idea was to foster the file [http[:share:|culture of free sharing]] ([[://hitchwikishare:Sharewiki.org/en/File:Hw-sticker-7x7cm%2B2mm-bleedAbout|about sharewiki]]) and [[:nomad:Nomadism|nomadism]] ([[:nomad:Nomadwiki.jpg hereorg:About|about nomadwiki] ]) and mikael propose still is. Also there is [[:couch:|couchwiki]] with more doubled content. The idea was to ship some of them on sort info into [[:nomad:project:How to edit|forms]] for [[http:nomad:Special:FormStart/City|cities]] and [[:nomad:Special:FormStart/wwwCountry|countries]] (to use it on trustroots for example).mikaelkorpela.fi/blog/who-wants-hitchwiki-stickers/ his blogA new version for this platform is being developed, so all content not related to hitchhiking should be stored somewhere else, see the "[[:Category:Tech_team#Developmen_log|news]].

== Error when adding places Map is read-only without tiles ==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 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 the map I'm just taken to places in Germany. Please can someone have a look at these bugs? I've been requesting a fix for a long time. Thank you. -- [[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] Dec. 8, 2016: can you please name the exact steps to reproduce it? I have * no problems login# i just created an account# if i go to create a wiki pagehttp://hitchwiki. where do you see org/maps/# and press 'login'# i get back the error message? could same page, no username/password box# and my browser nags about 'sharing location' which i denied# so, it seems to be related reproducable :)* '''no tiles''': the link to the database server or the captcha?map tiles is broken
