Policies and guidelines
- The traveller comes first
- The core underlying principle of Wikivoyage is that it is written for the benefit of travellers. The question "what is best for the traveller" should always guide decision making.
- Goals and non-goals
- Our goal is to create a free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide. This policy page gives you important information on what we are, and what we are not.
- Consensus
- In Wikivoyage, almost all decisions are made by achieving consensus rather than voting — so state your arguments and build consensus for debatable matters.
- Plunge forward
- Don't worry about being perfect or making mistakes. If something needs to be done, do it. Jump in and make useful edits to articles.
- Manual of style
- Our Manual of style is a collection of rules of thumb and guidelines for giving Wikivoyage articles a consistent look and feel.
Help and tutorials
- Quick contribution guide
- This guide provides suggestions for making your first contribution to this wiki. In general it is best to start out by contributing a listing for your favorite attraction, restaurant, or bar rather than trying to create a new article or make formatting changes to an existing article.
- Tips for new contributors
- This page gives a set of tips and tricks that might help you get up to speed working on Wikivoyage articles and participating in the Wikivoyage community.
- Arrivals lounge
- Here is where new contributors can post questions to be answered by experienced contributors.
- How to draw static maps and dynamic maps
- In this age of satellites and GPS, you no longer need to be a professional cartographer to draw an accurate map. The static map tutorial gives instructions for creating standard Wikivoyage maps using Inkscape, while dynamic maps are generated from (lat, long) co-ordinates on OpenStreetMap base maps. Complete amateurs have created some of our best maps following this guide.
- How to re-use Wikivoyage guides
- Wikivoyage articles and images are available under a copyleft license. This means you can redistribute and modify them in any medium, as long as you follow a few simple rules. This page gives an overview on how to re-use Wikivoyage content by third parties.
