Changes

:Hoi MikealI removed the rideshare site link added to [[Finland]] not because it was not "valid", welcome to but because it was the hitchwiki! :) Have fun with only edit that the Finnish wikiuser had made -- he seems to have signed up solely to promote this site. On many wikis, and of course you're welcome to add stuff avoid rewarding linkspamming, it is customary to revert the English one as well addition of external links when they are the poster's first and sole contribution.

== Talk history ==Tip::Hi everyone! :-) IIt'll try s more convenient to be active "move" the page so that the history is kept with en.hitchwiki also, though i have limited amount of time and i'll try to make fi.hitchwiki basic-stuff to working level first. And some underground/guerrilla-advertising also. I have some ideas for whole hitchwiki.org but more about those later onthe page itself... You could still do that if you think it's worth it :-) -[[User:MikaelGuaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|Mikaeltalk]] ) 18:0402, 5 June 2008 14 January 2013 (CESTCET)

:::Great! I'm looking forward to your ideas! By the way, I know it's not the favorite language of many Finns, but do you think there could be any interest in setting up a Swedish version of Hitchwiki?

I have no idea how popular hitchhiking is in Sweden. In this perspective - i wonder why there isn't hitchwiki in estonian language. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 17:49, 9 June 2008 (CEST)

Hey, Mikael. I saw you fixed HitchwikiHave already posted this to Guaka's Main Page very well and neat. Probably you know there is a [http://trashwiki.org/en/Main_Page Trashwiki], HitchwikiMrTweek's sister ;) - and I thought to ask you to have a look at its Main Page if you can - it is not in the perfect formatting state despite my efforts to do smth with the layout. :( Especially if one opens it with IE. --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 12:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC):Hi! I'll keep in my mind thistalk pages, maybe i'll try but that seems to do something when i have some time. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 23:35gone nowhere, 16 March 2009 (UTC)so

==CategoriesHackathon ==Hi! Your user page category has been changed to '''Category:Hitchhikers in Finland''' because from now on this (along with the old Category:Hitchhikers) will be a standard categorization for hitchhikers on hitchwiki.org (see [[Category talk:Hitchhikers|this discussion here]] for the reasons of doing so). If for some reason you don't want to be categorized by country, feel free to delete country category on your page leaving only a standard Category:Hitchhikers. We hope you don't mind, though.

Happy hitchingIt is not clear what the "pad" link in [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchwiki:Hackathon_in_Turkey_2014 this page] means and why it redirects back to the same page. I will be in Turkey in December, I may be interested in the event. [[User:CRCulver|CRCulver]] ([[User talk:CRCulver|talk]]) 15:21, 26 October 2014 (UTC):Hey Great! So let's be in touch later. We should definitely meet. :-) I added correct URL there (been in a hurry all day) and I'll let you know more about the coming hackathon in a few days via mailing lists. - [[User:Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 15:25, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

==Facebook ==What's the use of putting links to closed groups, i.e. those only accessible to members of the cult of $uckerberg on pages? [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small>^{[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]}</small> 20:12, 27 April 2015 (CEST):It's common enough to have an account so that it becomes useful. Let's hope someone copies useful stuff from there down to the wiki, once that's done the link can be removed. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 21:37, 27 April 2015 (CEST)::See [[User_talk:Mikael#Hitchgathering|Hitchgathering just above]]...

==MapsNews ==The new maps is great. But I think it's absolutely necessary to have the option to enable the satelite view, otherwise it is very difficult to add new spot at the correct position. have a nice day --[[User:Quarim|Quarim]] 09:57, 10 November 2010 (CET)

Why did you revert Jack Fang's announcement of his, I've just watched it, quite funny video? [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small>^{[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]}</small> 21:18, 2 October 2015 (CEST):Hi Mikael, the new Maps looks amazing! I thought we had a policy not to add blog posts / "I'm just wondering how to link doing a specific map to a hitchiwiki page now? trip type stuff" / videos there, but on the other hand I canhaven't followed that section much for a while and I see an obvious link to copy or suchit has evolved quite a much into that direction in lack of actual "news". Should we put it back, what do you think? --[[User:Dear sarahMikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 00:22, 3 October 2015 (CEST)::I'd say we put up such items for one or two weeks, gives the poster a few views and might provide a few more visits as people see that the page is changed.

::Copying wiki embed code is almost done, but not just yet! :-) And new places will not yet be visible in map previews in Wiki either, cuz current preview map uses our old database. So far you can copy and paste old map code:::<nowiki><map lat='60.2' lng='24.935' zoomNomadwiki eats Hitchwiki ='11' view='3' height='350' float='right' country='Finland'/></nowiki>::...and just change latitude/longitude/zoom manually. You can find coordinates for places by going to [http://maps.google.com Google Maps], centering the map where you want it to be centered in Wiki and copy&paste this to the URL-line: <nowiki>javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));</nowiki>::-[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 11:31, 7 December 2010 (CET)

Hey MikaelFine to copy content to Nomadwiki, thumbs up for your new maps. A problem I always have is that if I am on a certain page (eg Krakow) and click below the small map "See full map" I always get all of Europe shown but not the part of the map I am interested in (eg a close up of Krakow). Could you fix that? Or maybe add an additional option think it doesn't need to see the close up in its own window to navigate in? be removed from Hitchwiki!!!! --[[User:N0idFverhart|N0idFverhart]] 15([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:5930, 27 December 2010 9 November 2015 (CET)

:Mikeal, I really looking forward to see the new maps included in hitchwiki and can't wait to see my places i added == Major spammer attack going on maps in hitchwiki. will there be an automatic update in hitchwiki soon - so that we see the new maps places with the better design and so on? --[[User:Quarim|Quarim]] 09:07, 8 March 2011 (CET)==

Hey ! I like the idea fo organizing the 5811 somewhere North Either Finlandadded train schedules, Norway or Swedenbecause it is quite difficult to find stops during journey. There is Finish page vr. To be honestfi , I'd like where is possible to make it happen in Finland, in at least a mid-size city if not a universit town or somethingfind train connection. Do you have a place in mind ? I'd be more motivated You can switch to give English too. But there is quite a hand if lot of Javascript (it takes lot of CPU and it would can be over theredifficult for weak PCs or TOR users). :) And thanks for what you did I tried to the maps engine btw, just translated it to Frenchfind stops during journey at vr.fi (or sj.se in Sweden or nsb. --[[User:Perilisk|Perilisk]] 22:37no in Norway), 10 January 2011 (CET)but without success.

There is another page, where you can find all train connections include stops. It is Czech web for searching connections is Czech-Slovakia (all city transport, buses, trains, planes). But there is trains connection for whole Europe. jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/ But there is no English. (Odkud =from, Kam = Embedded maps to, Datum a cas =date and time - two edit fields, Pouze přímá spojení =without train change during journey, Pouze vlaky bez povinné rezervace = only trains without seat reservation obligatory). This application usually marks most of regional trains like REG, some commuter trains are missing (commuter trains by Stockholm, P train in Helsinki), and it marks all IC, EC or fast trains with seat reservation obligatory. Regional trains are blue there and long journey or fast dance floors are green, night international dance floors are red. Sometimes - one trains is barked like two another trains (R train Helsinki-Tampere, trains between Oslo and Goteborg), and some trains has two symbols (train between Helsinki and St. Peterburg is red INT or Green AE ). Most important for this Czech database is that you can find stops during journey. Unfortunately - you can not find in this Czech application, which stations has waiting room, or when waiting room is closed.

HelloThe schedule of trains and their stops is in Finland (or Norway) quite stable, changes are quite rare and trains go with same time. The number of trains and schedule during years should be stable too. But in Sweden is situation with schedule terrible. It is every day of week another time of week for departures from stops and number of trains are changing too. And it changes during year too. There are many train companies in Sweden and there is lot of differences in marking at idos.cz too. It is true, that this article is quite huge, about trains in Finland. I tried to make train schedules - description of journey and stops during journey with mall font, for example font size 8, but I do not sure if you're know how to do. Better solution ever can be the collapse button - the right person list of trains and stops is packed to ask, but one row until you're the rightclick for unpacking. Or some solution is split to more articles -est person some articles just like list of stops. I've found so farhave list of trains and stops too in text files, it can be like download link ad file too. I have pre-written article in LibreOffice document. But when I recently added a spot past here, the formatting of text disappear. And formatting of bigger text here is difficult. It takes lot of CPU and sometimes page freeze. But yes, there should be some way, how to make not to big article. Collapsing the list of trains and their stops. The article about roads and hitchiking in [[Taipei]] north Lapland is quite big too. It should be more generic. Just about biggest roads (To Inari, Ustjoki E75 and E8 to Kolari, Klippjarvi, Kiruna and Narvik-Tromso-Nordkapp). There are no trains and only bus lines. idos.cz has in database only pretty few buses outside Czech-Slovakia , most of buses are not there. But it should be here too, the mapdescription, how to get to Finland and on [[Taipei|the article]] waning Death by exam. Finland has super-cold winters and lack of waiting rooms in stations. AND SPAM FILTER IS TERRIBLE - I tried many times paste comment and I used the &lt;map&gt; tagmany times solved difficult CAPTCHA, but without success. It maks as spam all edits with coordinates.h.t.t.p. chain (internet URL begin), so I'd seen used elsewhere and have added myself to other pages such as the [[Gold Coast]]remove your active link too, because of spam filter. However == Changing to autopatrolled == I've been trying to do change people's rights to "autopatrolled", the embedded map on the page does not show the spot but I added, only when you click through don't see where/how to the full map do you see it. What do I'm guessing it has have to do with the new map being open street map and the embedded map being google maps? Cheers, hence only old spots showing up in the embedded google map view. Is there a way to change this - a different map tag I should be using? --[[User:Timmy tofuIrningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|timmy_tofutalk]] 11) 13:4950, 19 January 2011 21 May 2017 (CETUTC):Hi Timmy! Don't worry, new spots will start working at some point. Currently embed map is using our old database and old embedded googlemap will be replaced with new system soon enough== 1.
