Help, About, Why this wiki, Hitchhiker's point of view


  • 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.


About

This wiki is to gather information about hitchhiking and other ways of extremely cheap ways of transport. It was was inspired by Wikipedia and by Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. At some point it was left abandoned by its founder, and adopted by Guaka. As a hitchhiker you're encouraged to not only read the guide, but also to contribute by adding your knowledge, improving existing pages and starting new ones!

How to contribute

Just click edit, make your changes and click Save page. A good article to start editing or writing is probably your home town. To create new articles you can add [[ and ]] around the title of the new article, in some other article, on your user page or even here on the main page. Save the page, click on the red link and start writing a new page. Be bold about editing, just do it! If it feels a bit awkard, you can practice in the Sandbox.
