Hello BIL! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub notes → Article status notes
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing to Suburban Gothenburg! --Danapit (talk) 09:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, and thanks for all the content you're adding! One small request: When you add subtitles to "Get in" and "Get around," please use the following format:
===By plane===
- The format you've been using isn't standard and will be changed, but if you use the standard format in the first place, you save everyone a bit of work. Thanks! Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
External links format
[edit]Hi. Please use the front-linked format shown on the external links policy page, not the footnote-style format, which was deprecated a couple of years ago. Please have a look at this edit for an example of changing the deprecated footnote style to the front-linked style. Thanks a lot. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Please also try to avoid naked links. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:05, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Temporary account IP viewer
[edit]Hello, BIL.
A recent change now means that all IP addresses are no longer visible to most ordinary users. However, as per WMF policy, any user who has made at least 300 edits with an account older than 6 months may request the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) permission to view IP addresses of all temporary accounts for up to 90 days. You are receiving this mass message because your account is autopatrolled, or has patroller and/or template editor permissions, and have over 300 edits, and thus are likely eligible to request this permission.
Guidelines surrounding the use of the tool can be found at Wikivoyage:Temporary account IP viewer; if granted, you must also accept the WMF policy in your preferences.
TAIV permissions can be requested at Wikivoyage:Temporary account IP viewer/Requests, or on any admin's talk page.
