Hello Forliasa! 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!--ϒpsilon (talk) 07:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Listing template format
[edit]Hello, and thanks for your edits!
I notice that some of your listing templates have an unusual appearance in code. Are you using listing templates exclusively, or are you using some listing tags? I ask because listing tags were deprecated on this site some time ago.
All the best,

Hi Ikan,
I thought I was doing it correctly; I copied from your link - but I must be making mistakes somewhere. Could you point out which ones look weird and what it should look like?

- I guess it's just that the line breaks aren't in the usual places sometimes. Compare this with Wikivoyage:Listings#Examples. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- I see. I had copied from the examples (usually to a text editor), deleted all of the information from the example leaving just the empty parameter labels, and used that as a template to update the listings. In the copying and pasting back & forth, the line breaks may or may not have made it. As it didn't seem to make a difference in the front end (and as the Overview section doesn't include any mention of line breaks at all), I didn't think it mattered. I'll make sure to do that going forward. Forliasa (talk) 18:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
