''"Oh, I just found out a really cool new spot in a funky city that has not been added to the hitchwiki yet... I want to do that! But how?"''

Anyone maybe feels like this someday, and after a minute he/she maybe thinks about '''how''' to begin with a new article.

===Well, it's easy: Just start! :)===

But to avoid a lot of editing and to make it all a bit nicer, maybe this guideline could be helpful:

* First, use the Search function. Maybe there is also an entry for you city. Attention: Maybe it has a different name in its language (e.g. [[Köln]] in ''German'' is [[Cologne]] in ''English'', etc.)! If not, fantastic! Just click on '''You can create this page!'''

*Write some general information about the city. What's it's name, to which country does it belong, is it boring, fantastic, whatever. Have a look at [[Berlin]], [[Hannover]] or [[Hörstel]] to get some ideas about that!

*The hitching information! To have a common layout, most people try to write the articles in a style like this:

[[Rome]] is the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla....
==Hitching Out==

===North/South/West/East towards [[Rome]]===
Information about the spot

*Alternative spot
*2nd alternative ...

==Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==

And this is what it looks like:

[[Rome]] is the capital of [[Italy]]. Years ago, the Romans blabla....
==Hitching Out==

===North/South/West/East towards [[Rome]]===

Information about the spot

*Alternative spot

*2nd alternative ...

==Alternative information: Sleep, Food, Things to do, etc..==
...



Great! That's it! Easy, hum? If you have fun with it, you can also add a [[How to add maps to articles|map]] from [[liftershalte.info]] and/or edit more pages!

Have fun!
