<!-- How to create a new page

{{places-to-go}}

</div>
To create a new page in wiki you have to first create a link to the page. Do this by adding the topic of your page inside doublebrackets, like this: [[the topic of your page]]. Save the page, and you see a new, red link appearing in the New topics -section. Click the red link and you get to edit the new page.
 
 
 
Some tips about editing:
 
 
 
=Headline= creates top-level heading
 
==Headline== creates second-level headline
 
===Headline=== creates third-level headline
 
''emphazised text'' creates text emphasized in cursive
 
'''strong text''' creates bolded texts
 
[[Topic of the page]] creates a link to a page in the Guide. If the page does not exist, it creates a link to a new page.
 
[http://www.domain.com domain.com] creates an external link to http://www.domain.com to the text domain.com.
 
 
 
Remember that due to the nature of this project your text can and will be edited by other editing hitchhikers of the guide. Do not feel offended by editing - the main goal in this project is to provide the best stuff possible, meaning co-operation and collaborately improving the content to serve the Guide.

[[Hitchhikers' Guide to Hitchhiking]] is a collaborate project to build an encyclopedia for the needs of hitchhikers. It's a compilation of tips about good hitchhiking places, knowledge about hitchhiking possibilities in different countries, general knowhow about what to pack and when to go, what to eat and how to stay safe.
 
 
 
The inspiration to this project came from the [http://www.wikipedia.org wikipedia]-project and the marvellous book of Douglas Adams - the Hitchhiker's guide to galaxy. The idea is to use the open Wiki system to gather information the same way  [http://www.wikipedia.org wikipedia] does to result to a guide similar to the imaginary ''Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy'' is in the books of Adams: a guide that knows it all and is allways up to date.
 
 
 
Every Hitchhiker is not only a user but also a possible contributor - a correspondent of the guide with the best possible first hand knowledge. This is not a worrk of a single mind, it's a work done by all the hitchhikers for the benefit of all the hitchhikers. Every visitor can add her / his knowledge and edit the existing pages to make them even better!
 
 
 
==Under Constuction==
 
The [[Hitchhikers' Guide to Hitchhiking | Hichhiker's guide]] is taking it's first baby steps, so the content is scarce and not too organized. It will get better, as more [[hitchhiker]]s contribute. Feel free to start today!
 
 
 
===How to contribute===
 
 
 
Easiest way to contribute to the Guide at this point is to write an entry - point a good spot to hitchhike in yout home town or give a tip about something else you feel would be good for hitchhikers to know. To create a new entry, you need to create a link first. To do this as easy as possible, there is a page for [[new entries]] where you can just add your link. So, [[new entries | PRESS HERE]] to get  more info.
 
 
 
You can also check the [[Top 10 Tips]] -page to see if you have something to add.

  • 14 January 2024 Hitchmap is running but data quality decreased a little over the years. With the relaunch of the map in 2022, we now also want to give its underlying data a fresh start by cleaning it where it is obviously wrong so that we can get most out of it. Join our discussion around how we should clean it and tell us about your big and small issues you currently have with the map and its data.
  • 14 January 2024 The Hitchwiki GitHub got a little makeover. Discussions are now enabled. So all issue tracking and feature requests that took place in this wiki before can be moved there. Feel free to join the GitHub organization, to contribute graphics, texts and code that are related to hitchhiking but have no place in the wiki.
  • 25 December 2023 There are new Stickers for Hitchwiki/Hitchgathering/trustroots!. Print them yourself or order some.
  • 1 November 2023 Hitchhiking series accompanying a race from Istanbul to Tiblisi collecting donation for earthquake victims.
