How to get along in the Wikivoyage community

Unwanted edits

edit
Keep Wikivoyage fun
باختصار:: Writing about travel should be almost as fun as visiting the destinations themselves, so behavior that makes it less fun for others to contribute to Wikivoyage should be avoided. If someone else is making it less fun for you to contribute here, assume good faith, but if problems persist discuss the issue with that user and solicit feedback from others in extreme cases.
How to handle unwanted edits
باختصار:: Unwanted edits are contributions that do not agree with our policies and guidelines or Manual of Style. Any contributor may revert an unwanted edit.
Note: This is the policy on dealing with vandalism.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Edit war
باختصار:: Do not wage edit war. If involved in one, step back and use the article’s talk page to come to a consensus.
صفحات ذات صلة:

الروابط

edit
الروابط الخارجية


باختصار:: External links should be kept to a minimum, and only links to primary sources should be used. There should not be an external links section in any article.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Sister project links (Draft) - (links to articles within the Wikimedia projects group)
Note: New policy needed as there will be more than just Wikipedia to consider, though that is the most likely to be linked.
باختصار:: Many Wikivoyage articles can benefit from links to Wikipedia articles on the same subject. A travel article focuses on the issues facing travelers for a destination, but Wikipedia articles can have deeper or broader information on a topic or attraction.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Internal links
باختصار:: Make links to other Wikivoyage pages, but generally only link the first instance of an article name. These should be incorporated into the text of an article if practical, otherwise use a "See also" section at the end of the page.
Inter-language links
Note: More of a how-to page than policy.
باختصار:: We use Wikidata to make links between articles that cover the same subject in the different language versions of Wikivoyage. The MediaWiki software has a feature we can use on discussion pages, not articles, for making links between articles that cover different subjects.

Specific community policies

edit
Deletion policy
باختصار:: Articles and images can be deleted if certain criteria are met. If you feel an article or image should be deleted, nominate it for deletion. Some items, such as spam or blatant copyright violations, can be speedy deleted.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Protected page policy
باختصار:: Administrators may protect a page when necessary, but it is preferable that abusive edits are effectively counteracted without protecting a page.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Image policy
باختصار:: Images must be compatible with our copyleft licence. The image page must contain a summary with the appropriate attribution information and licence information. Photos should not contain people unless it is a public space and the people are peripheral to the picture content.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Site notice policy
باختصار:: The site notice is a feature which can be used to alert the community about important developments. Site notices should be discussed on the talk page and published by consensus
صفحات ذات صلة:
Sock puppets
باختصار:: The creation of sockpuppets, i.e., multiple accounts per user, is discouraged, but they are usually just ignored.
No real world threats
باختصار:: Real world threats—essentially threats of physical or legal harm—are strictly prohibited on Wikivoyage. They are never necessary, and can have a chilling effect on public participation. If you do post a threat of a lawsuit or physical harm, even an ambiguous or vague one, you will likely be banned from further editing here with prejudice.
User account migration
باختصار:: If you had an account on the old Wikivoyage site, or if you have contributions that were imported here from Wikitravel, you can merge the records of your contributions into your account on this new Wikivoyage site.
It's not carved in stone
باختصار:: Most of our detail policies and guidelines, and the manual of style can be changed if there is a need and the community can come to a consensus on the change. Any proposed change must be compatible with our guiding principles
صفحات ذات صلة:
Jargon
باختصار:: A glossary of terms used in discussions, edit summaries, or on IRC.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Checkuser
باختصار:: Checkuser can be used to examine user IP address information and other server log data. It is to be used sparingly and only to protect Wikivoyage against vandalism, disruption and/or bad faith.
Note: Under discussion.

Community projects

edit
Collaboration of the month
باختصار:: The Collaboration of the month is a way to get many contributors working on one article at once, often to get it ready for an upcoming event or a nomination for destination of the month. While anyone can edit any article at any time, this provides a way to highlight specific articles allowing many contributors to help improve them together.
Expeditions
باختصار:: An Expedition is a special project for articles or images. (Sure, we could just call it a "project", but what fun is that?) Expeditions help us collaborate and organize around certain subjects, be they based on shared interests, geography, or shared skills.

Hierarchy
باختصار:: Wikivoyage has a hierarchy of people involved in the community, with varying levels of responsibility in the project. People burdened with more responsibility are expected to serve those above them, and make life easier for them.
Autoconfirmed users
باختصار:: Users who have been registered for longer than 4 days are autoconfirmed. In addition to this allowing them to mark anonymous users' edits as reviewed, it also means that their own edits are marked as reviewed automatically.
Administrators
باختصار:: Administrators are registered users who have shown a good appreciation of the policies and guidelines and made significant contributions, have been nominated by the community and have been granted some additional functions. They are the plumbers and janitors of the travel guide and perform mostly mundane tasks, but also those few tasks which could do permanent damage if done wrongly.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Bureaucrats
باختصار:: Bureaucrats are administrators with a few extra, rarely needed, but essential functions, who are trusted by the community to do things like switch on administrator functions.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Docents
باختصار:: Docents are registered users who know a lot about a particular destination or topic and volunteer their time and knowledge to help travellers who have questions about that destination or topic.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Welcome message
باختصار:: When new Wikivoyagers set up a user account and make a new user page, we usually welcome them to the site with a brief message. We want every contributor's first contact with Wikivoyage to be a positive experience. A friendly welcome and an explanation of any reversion can save a contributor who may otherwise just turn away from the site.

All of the various "cooperating with..." policy pages

Other language Wikivoyage projects

edit

Wikivoyage projects have many common goals, and content that is acceptable on English Wikivoyage will usually be welcome on other languages, suitably translated.

If you are registered on the English Wikivoyage project, you are automatically registered on all other Wikimedia Foundation projects, and can edit any of them under your user name following the local policies and guidelines, many of which may be similar to those of English Wikivoyage. Be careful if your command of the local language is poor, and look out for the differences. Our policies are not enforceable on other languages and trying to enforce them will offend. Similarly, their policies are not enforceable here. If you think they are better or should be harmonized, start a discussion about it. The Travellers' pub is a good place to start such a discussion if a better place is not obvious.

Infrastructure and software

edit
Wikivoyage:Technical infrastructure policy
Obsolete: the primary Web and database servers that run Wikivoyage.org are now operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. With rare exceptions (such as Wikivoyage-specific map servers), any issues should be reported to WMF through bugzilla: or on meta:.
Avoid HTML
HTML should be avoided in marking up articles. Use Wikimarkup for formatting when possible. If Wikimarkup is not possible, and the formatting will be generally useful, consider a MediaWiki template
صفحات ذات صلة:
Offline version
باختصار:: You as a traveller should be able to take your tour guide with you on the road. An internet café is not always just around the corner. But maybe you have a laptop or palm with the content of Wikivoyage on it. Our offline version is (will be) updated weekly.
Note: We don't have one (yet) officially, although individual users have repackaged our open-source data in third-party apps or archives which may be downloaded to Android, iOS or similar devices. The underlying Wikimedia database dumps are updated at best twice monthly; these may be repackaged at will if the original licence and authors' attribution is retained. As of 2012, we still need an *.epub (Nook, Kobo) or *.mobi (Kindle) version; this would need to be split into multiple volumes (so each large country or region as an e-book volume) due to e-reader limitations on the size of each book.
Script policy
باختصار:: Automated scripts that modify Wiki travel guide pages and images must comply with the script policy and be approved.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Using MediaWiki templates
باختصار:: The software we use, MediaWiki, has a feature to include the contents of one article into another automatically. This is called transclusion or templating, although it has nothing to do with our article templates. Templates should be used for editorial markup and metadata.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Wiki markup
باختصار:: MediaWiki software uses a special code called Wiki markup for formatting the text and images in an article. The Wiki markup used while editing a page will determine how the text looks and what links and images are in the page.
صفحات ذات صلة:

Recognizing contributors and articles

edit
Barnstars
باختصار:: One great tradition in wiki culture is the barnstar. This is a simple image of an iron star, as used for decoration on barns in the northeastern United States. Because wiki community building is often compared to barn raising -- coming together to work on a project. The barnstar is a symbol of that community-mindedness, and is an informal "award" to recognize a user's exceptional community and content work.
Destination of the month
Shotcuts: dotm
باختصار:: Good articles are be featured on the main page as Destinations of the month
صفحات ذات صلة:
Star articles
باختصار:: Our best articles are recognised by awarding them a star rating

Organization of the wiki

edit
Structure of the wiki is described here. Structure within an article is described in section Manual of style.

Hierarchy of travel guides

edit
Breadcrumb navigation
باختصار:: Wikivoyage has a feature to show bread crumb menus under the title of a destination article to show the countries and regions that a destination belongs to.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Geographical hierarchy
باختصار:: To help organize travel guide articles, they are arranged into a non-overlapping geographical hierarchy. The type of information contained within an article varies depending on where it is in the hierarchy.
Other ways of seeing travel
باختصار:: Destinations, Travel topics, Itineraries and Phrasebooks

What is an article?
باختصار: (existing page): Generally, articles can be created for destinations where a traveller can sleep, such as geographical units in the geographical hierarchy (e.g., countries, states, cities). Attractions, companies, transports systems and routine schedules generally do not have articles unless there is a compelling reason for an exception.
Alt (proposed change): A destination is a geographical location where the traveller stays for some time, typically over several days, uses accommodation facilities provided at the destination, eats there and engages in activities which are the purpose of the visit. The basic destination is the city, but destination types include regions, national parks, and districts of exceptionally large cities.
Note: Regions include continents, continental sections, countries, states, provinces etc. Cities may be split into districts if the article becomes cumbersome.
Note: This does not apply to non-destination articles. Travel topics, Itineraries and Phrasebooks should be mentioned.

We have four categories of article: Destinations, Itineraries, Phrasebooks and Travel topics.

صفحات ذات صلة:
Bodies of water
باختصار:: We don't write destination guide articles about bodies of water. They may be referred to in other destination guides as attractions or as part of an itinerary or in a travel topic.
Destinations
Note: update باختصار:
باختصار::A destination is a geographical location where the traveller stays for some time, typically over several days, uses accommodation facilities provided at the destination, eats there and engages in activities which are the purpose of the visit. Destination types include regions, cities and national parks.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Disambiguation pages
باختصار:: A disambiguation page lists the full titles of several different articles with similar names, and allows the traveler to choose between them.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Itineraries
باختصار:: An itinerary is a guide for traveling along a specific route through several destinations or attractions, giving suggestions of where to stop, what to see, how to prepare, etc. If you think of our destination guides as dots on a map, an itinerary describes a line that connects those dots.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Phrasebooks
باختصار:: Phrasebooks are intended to define just enough of the language so that an English-speaking traveller can "get by" in an area where that language is spoken.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Travel topics
باختصار:: Travel topics are articles that deal with a specific topic that is too large or detailed to go in a specific travel guide destination page, or travel tips that are so general that they apply to nearly all destinations and don't need to be in each specific travel guide.
Note: A huge range of possibilities exist and if there is no guidance available for a proposed article, you can discuss it at the Travellers' pub.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Naming conventions
باختصار:: Destination articles should use the name most commonly used in English-speaking countries, or if one doesn't exist, the most commonly used name in the local language.

Travel guide content policies

edit
Avoid negative reviews
باختصار:: Generally, if an attraction or business is not worth going to, leave it out. If a negative review is given, explain why the review is negative.
Rental listings
باختصار:: Real estate and rental agencies are not listed unless specific criteria are met.
Tour operators
باختصار:: Tours should only be listed if they are a value-added activity for the traveller.
Note: What does this mean?
Sex tourism policy
باختصار: Information relating to sex tourism is not included in our travel guides. Information relating to red-light districts and strip clubs is generally OK.
Illegal activities policy
باختصار:: Activities that are illegal at the destination should be discussed in the travel guide article if the information is useful to the traveller, particularly when these activities are commonly legal in other places, or the penalties are unusually severe
Information for gay and lesbian travellers
باختصار:: Information of interest to GLBT travellers is placed in the appropriate section of the article (e.g., gay bars go in Drink, gay-friendly hotels go in Sleep).
When to use dates
باختصار:: Attaching a date to facts can be useful to the traveller, but it must be balanced against maintaining a clear and concise travel guide. Prices are generally not dated, but cultural events may be. Operating hours (including seasonal closures) should be included in the guide.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Living persons
باختصار:: Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikivoyage page. This is seldom an issue, as it is unusual for personal information on specific living people to be relevant to our articles.

Article status

edit

Note: Should we distinguish between status and quality?

Article status
باختصار:: The overall quality of each travel guide should be assessed on a five point scale using the identified criteria. Star status is the highest level and is only given after successfully completing the nomination process.
صفحات ذات صلة: links to various pages describing the different status types:
Star nominations
باختصار:: Only nominate travel guides that appear to meet the criteria of a Star article. Star status will be given if consensus is reached within the community.
Star potential
باختصار:: Travel guides that are very close to Star status should be identified and tagged as "Star potential".

Pages that are not travel guides

edit
How to pages
باختصار:: Not only policy, also helpful hints on how to do things that may not be obvious
صفحات ذات صلة:
Main Page guidelines
باختصار:: The Main Page is the entry point for most casual readers into Wikivoyage. It should show us in our best light. It includes a mix of gradually-changing information. Any logged-in user can edit it but, because of the complexity of the page layout, great care should be taken.
Namespaces
Note: this page could be modified and used as the landing page for 4.0 Organization
باختصار:: The software used by the Wikivoyage travel guide lets us split up the site into multiple namespaces. With namespaces, each page is explicitly tagged to show what it's used for and where it fits in the site structure.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Redirect pages
باختصار:: A redirect page is a page that automatically links to another page. There are several possible reasons to have a redirect.
Special pages help
باختصار:: Special pages are pages that provide a range of information about the information Wikivoyage contains. Through these pages you can quickly find most of the information in the guide, identify problems, locate users, see statistics and even find out what is missing!
صفحات ذات صلة:
User page help
باختصار:: Wikivoyage users that create their own user accounts get assigned their own user page. These pages are intended to provide a brief introduction about the user. Associated pages provide a personal sandbox to work on projects or ideas outside the "main" travel guide amd a communications medium for collaborating with other users.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Using talk pages
باختصار:: Every article on Wikivoyage has an associated talk page for discussing that article. Talk pages are not chat boards or comment areas; they're for coordinating editorial decisions, suggesting new material that should be considered, and generally collaborating on making a great article.

Manual of style

edit
Manual of style

باختصار:: Our Manual of style is a collection of rules of thumb and guidelines for giving Wikivoyage articles a consistent look and feel. Most of these rules have exceptions, but to put together a good reference work collaboratively, it's best to follow the rules unless they're quite inappropriate for a particular situation.

Note: Structure within an article is described here. Structure of the wiki is described in section Organisation.

Article templates
باختصار:: Travel guides are generally structured using standardized section headings and order, and we have handy substitution templates to help with this.
صفحات ذات صلة:

باختصار:: Long lists and large groups of items can be difficult to grasp. If there are more than 9 items to group, consider subdividing into groups of 7±2 items.
صفحات ذات صلة:

Geocoding
باختصار:: It's possible to encode information about the latitude and longitude of a destination into the destination guide itself.
Information boxes
باختصار:: An information box tells the reader something interesting about the destination or an attraction that is not included in the listing. They are good for providing supplemental information but should not be overused in an article.
Listings
باختصار:: Use standardized templates to provide consistent and complete information for business and attraction listings.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Maps
باختصار:: A picture may be worth a thousand words, but when a trying to find your way around a new city, it's more like a million. A clear and simple map can save hours or even days of hassle.
صفحات ذات صلة:
One-liner listings
باختصار:: A brief description of a destination that allows the reader to select the travel guide they want to read.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Routebox navigation
باختصار:: Routeboxes are included in the Go next section and provide a quick way of identifying nearby destinations. Routes should reflect the type(s) of travel commonly used in the local area.
صفحات ذات صلة:
Section headers
باختصار:: Wherever possible, section headers should be identical to the ones in the article templates. The more consistent the sections of articles in Wikivoyage are, the easier it is for readers to find what they're looking for.

صفحات ذات صلة:
Romanization
باختصار:: Non-Latin alphabet names should be written in the latin alphabet for English to assist readers in pronounciation.
Alt: Romanization is the process of mapping a script into the Latin alphabet used for English. As a rule of thumb, romanization should allow the casual reader to guess at the pronunciation, and the expert to pronounce it right.
