Hello, Silver Dovelet! 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 need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals. //shb (t | c | m) 23:23, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thank you for your updates to the Kansas City article. Please remember to update the "lastedit" field in the listings template, which tells readers how current the information is. Ground Zero (talk) 03:10, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Got it. Thank you for the reminder. Silver Dovelet (talk) 04:08, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- btw on the listing editor, you should be able to see that box which should say "mark the listing as up-to-date?" – a lot easier than updating manually :). //shb (t | c | m) 07:09, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- That is helpful to know. Thank you for the tip! Silver Dovelet (talk) 08:04, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

12PM and 12AM
[edit]When you write "12PM", do you mean noon or midnight? It isn't clear. I have seen contributors use 12PM to mean both those times. That's why our style guide wv:time says that we should use "noon" when we mean noon, and not 12PM or 12AM. Thanks. Ground Zero (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Silver Dovelet: Why do you [ https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Grand_Rapids&diff=5204590&oldid=5204460 keep using] "12PM"? Please respect Wikivoyage style, which has been adopted by the Wikivoyage community. Ground Zero (talk) 19:12, 5 February 2026 (UTC)
- It basically means that if a country uses 12-hour time system (e.g. Canada, US), you should use midnight and noon to avoid the 12AM/12PM confusion that some people make. In countries that use 24-hour time (e.g. France, Japan), then you can use 12:00 for noon and 0:00 for midnight. OhanaUnitedTalk page 05:02, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining. @OhanaUnited Silver Dovelet (talk) 06:52, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Again, please don't use 12PM or 12AM. Thank you. Ground Zero (talk) 12:18, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- Please respect Wikivoyage style. You may understand "12PM" to mean "noon'. Other people think it means "midnight". Please stop using formats that are confusing for readers. Ground Zero (talk) 11:55, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Listings without information
[edit]Are you planning to add any information to this listing? WV:LISTINGS says: "In the case of Eat, Drink, Buy, and Sleep listings, some information must be provided to help the reader find the business, for example: address, directions, and/or coordinates." So if we can't tell the reader anything about how to find this place, it should be removed. Thanks. Ground Zero (talk) 21:55, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- This is still in progress, and I’m working through the remaining parts. Silver Dovelet (talk) 01:34, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
