'''Szeged''' is the third largest city of [[Hungary]], the largest city and regional centre of the Southern Great Plain and the capital of Csongrád county. It is just 15 km from the [[Horgos-Röszke border crossing|Serbian border]].<br />

== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== North towards [[Budapest]] (M5) {{European Route Number|75}} ===<br />
You should take the bus number 79 [http://tiszavolan.hu/Default.aspx?sm=601&pg=LocalDetail] from ''Mars tér'' ([http://maps.google.com/maps?near=46.257716,20.141082]) and go five stations to the CORA supermarket [http://maps.google.com/maps?near=46.274345,20.103144]. It is right next to the road number 5, witch after 6 km joins the M5 motorway.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Serbia]] (5) (M5) {{European Route Number|75}} ===<br />
Take the tram number 4 [http://www.szkt.hu/dokumentumok/dir4/902_25_4_T-_K.pdf] all the way to the last stop ([http://maps.google.com/maps?near=46.239058,20.116732]), that is national road 5) towards the Serbian border. Walk further down the road for a few hundred metres. Just after you cross the railroad tracks, thumb. Cars will be going slowly and there is plenty of space for drivers to pull over.<br />
[[User:Calime|Calime]] agrees that this is very good place! Drivers can take you at least to petrol station on the border and you can cross the border on foot and start hitchhiking just after Hungarian passport control. It is faster because there is usually long fleet of cars, sometimes even for 3-4 hours so you just jump the queue.<br />
<br />
=== East towards [[Romania]] (43) {{European Route Number|68}} ===<br />
<br />
Take the bus number 60 or 60Y from ''Mars tér'' ([http://maps.google.com/maps?near=46.257716,20.141082]) and get off at the stop ''Szőreg, ABC'' ([http://maps.google.com/maps?near=46.221155,20.196855]). You are now at the road number 43 (E68) towards the [[Nădlac-Nagylak border crossing]] and the Romanian city of [[Arad (Romania)|Arad]]. <br />
Most people here drive only to Mako (next town, in Hungary), but from there you can find another hitch to the border town or event to Romania. At the border it's easy to get a ride with a truck driver. <br />
Most traffic to Romania goes via A1 highway, so maybe it's better to use that one.<br />
<br />
=== West towards [[Baja]], [[Pécs]] (55) ===<br />
Take the tram number 3 or 3F until ''Fonógyári út'' station, stay on the road 55 (also called ''Bajai út''), walk, and cross the railway (arround 200 m) and afther you'll find places where cars can stop.<br />

Is there an option to see the IP addresses of newly created accounts? I (not very wildly) guess that the current flood is caused by botnets - from my experience as Admin at the [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems Support site] I know that usernames like the two I just blocked, Fastoomph606455 and Gamylounge549364, are very typical for automated systems.

:I don't think there's an extension for this, but if you find something useful [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions at mediawiki.org] we can install it. <br />

Thanks for the Welcome! Its jolly good to be editing on here now that I'm back on my own turf :) after using it a lot. By the way, I guess you're aware that on the hitchwiki maps page, typing in any city to the search bar is always taking me to Paris?! This has happened to me in europe and in Australia, I guess its a common problem? Its a lovely city... to be sure.. but other places are nice too :) I noticed your name on the maps tutorial page, have you any advice on this? :) [[User:Dear sarah|Dear Sarah]] 02:10, 24 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Joho MrTweek, I never did hitch out of Düsseldorf directly as i think it's not so fast. I am always driving to Oberhausen Sterkrade instead and from there to Heinrich-Heine-Str. I wrote it in the Düsseldorf page. I'll try to post all my tips here. Let's keep this website growing ;).<br />

Howdy MrTweek, thanks for your message! Chile is in fact a wonderful country with amicable inhabitants. Indeed, that must be why I've settled down here for the time being. Hopefully I will become more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of hitchhiking in other parts of the world so I can share them on this wiki. Take care!

I noticed you were trying to work out the problem with pages that begin with accented characters. Would you like me to help out?

[[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Zac Stewart|talk]]</sup></small> 15:33, 19 June 2007 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, maybe I get back to you with that. Foreign characters at the beginning of an article name work for you? My apache's utf8-support seems to be broken since I upgraded from debian sarge to etch. I didn't find time (and motivation) to fix this yet. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:55, 19 June 2007 (CEST)<br />

It's supposedly better to edit pages from index.php?title=.... instead of just the "pretty links" because you can block index.php from being indexed in search engines with robots.txt and then you have cleaner search results.

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
<br />
==Thanks==<br />
Hey! Thanks for the message, can't figure out how to message people, so I hope you get this. I've been using this site for ages, and figured it was about time I corrected some of the dreadful English on the France pages, and added to the site the little that I know. I'll add more in time, the hitch from Cardiff to Morocco really helped me, and I'll add a page on [[Cardiff]] too. [[User:Carl|Carl]]<br />

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />
:Probably my mistake ;) I'll fix it the next days when I'm home again. --MrTweek<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />

::: Yes, that's what I suspected. We could probably activate this somewhere in the Mediawiki configuration.

:Actually, I got it to work by removing the align="right", but that means it won't work in Wiki tables. <br />

Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day. After your reply, I checked your profile and was surprised to read that your dream is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. Well, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now! (more specifically, I'm going from my house in Spain to it's exact antipode in New Zealand).<br />
I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />
I hope you set up your mind and go, it's a really amazing trip! :D<br />
Best luck with it and happy new hitchhiking year! ^^<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers!

Ha! I didn't see it was in events. Fair enough :-) [[User:Robino|Robino]] 01:10, 1 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />
:It would be good however to follow some kinda standard for this. Maybe Wikipedia has something somewhere? Whoever enjoys creating templates should look into that a wee bit... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:08, 21 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Salut, M. Tweek,<br>Would you mind having another brief look [[Talk:Hitchability_World_Map|here]]?

== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite". And AFAIK know we never had to block a real hitchhiker (and I don't think we'll ever need to :) So maybe it's possible to easily change the default settings? :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 09:51, 3 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

Ich kann dein ganzes Blog einfügen - aber dann sind eben auch die Artikel mit drin, die nicht ums Trampen gehen. Was meinst du?

== Admin rights ==<br />
<br />
Can you also give me admin rights on the other language parts where I currently do not have them (de, pl, pt, fr), so that I can also kick out spammers on them? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 08:38, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />

:::::: No spam, which is good. Just oodles of useless usernames - what happened with the Merge-and-Delete extension? And isn't there a way to directly interface with the SQL backend? [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:12, 7 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::::::: Good. The plugin makes sure they can't post urls, so probably they sign up and give up then. Talk to Guaka or Mikael for the extension, I don't know in detail what they did. What do you want to do with SQL? There is a way, of course, but since one could easily destroy the whole wiki, even accidently, there is no public access to it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] ([[User talk:MrTweek|talk]]) 13:26, 7 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: And admin rights on the BG, FI, ZH, TR & HR versions? '''And can we do something about blocking user names ending in digits? IMHO the most ideal solution would be to let them go through completely normal, but to not store them into the database, effectively "loosing them on the way".''' It would keep the logs clean, and on that subject, is there a way to show more entries on the "Recent Changes Cleanup", having been on the road for three days, it's not possible to clean out all spammy user creations any more! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 00:21, 13 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: You got Admin rights in these languages now as well.<br />
:::Can you re-issue me with admin rights on the "nl" wiki, I seem to have lost them after the restore, and there currently are quite a few link-spam page. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 14:14, 8 September 2013 (CEST)<br />
:::: Done. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 15:22, 8 September 2013 (CEST)<br />
:::And on the Polish one, is also suffering from link-spam. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 12:18, 11 September 2013 (CEST)<br />
:::: You should have admin rights right in all wikis now. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 12:28, 11 September 2013 (CEST)<br />
:: About the user names with digits: I really don't like the idea, as we might lock out potential human users as well. As long as they just sign up and give up then, they don't do any harm. They just pollute the database, which isn't nice, but not a real problem either, I think. Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway. We might want to create a script to delete users that were never active at all after signing up or something like that. Anyone else has an opinion on that?<br />
:: Also, I added a num-switch to RecentChangesCleanup. See [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:RecentChangesCleanup?num=500 here].<br />

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 15:45, 20 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: I moved the infobox to the right now. It's nice anyway :)<br />
: We know about the IsIn-problem, and we'll fix it eventually. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:59, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />
:::: Hey, I've got numbers and several capital letters in my user name and I'm not a spammer ;) [[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 12:46, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />
::::: You're the exception that confirms the rule, and besides that spammers are to stupid to use accented letters! :) [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 14:00, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

We invite you to have a look at our blog and if you like it, please add it to your list :)<br />
<br />
We also have a list of hitch-hiking blogs, so if you know any blogs worth recommending, give us a shout:<br />

<br />
Yes, thanks a dozen and happy hitching! :)<br />
<br />
== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash.

<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Alive again :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 06:20, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Cool! Does the bot add missing "opposite direction" link to translation? Say, if ''АБВГ'' article in Russian has link to ''en:ABCD'', it should add link to ''ru:АБВГ'' to ''ABCD'', should it? For example, I see that the bot fixed link in [[ru:Гомель]] to [[en:Gomel]] (there was a link to redirected page before), but [[en:Gomel]] still doesn't have link to [[ru:Гомель]] --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Yes, that is what it should do. And also add other languages, if they are set on of the pages. I'm not sure why this is not working in that case, but will have a look. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::::: Maybe it will add back-links on next pass? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 13:44, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />

but apparently the skin is more important - I like the vector layout, others the classic mediawiki one, why cant we keep at least those two?<br />

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

Hey! Thanks for the message, can't figure out how to message people, so I hope you get this.

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />

::: Yes, that's what I suspected. We could probably activate this somewhere in the Mediawiki configuration.

== New template, Tts ==<br />

I've copied this one from Wikipedia, it should allow sorting hh:mm:ss times, but I cannot get it to work correctly, some text is not hidden. Can you have a look? Example is in [[User:Prino/sandbox]] <br />

:Actually, I got it to work by removing the align="right", but that means it won't work in Wiki tables. <br />

== Hitchhiking dream? ==<br />
Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day. After your reply, I checked your profile and was surprised to read that your dream is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. Well, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now! (more specifically, I'm going from my house in Spain to it's exact antipode in New Zealand).<br />
I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />
I hope you set up your mind and go, it's a really amazing trip! :D<br />
Best luck with it and happy new hitchhiking year! ^^<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers!

Ha! I didn't see it was in events. Fair enough :-) [[User:Robino|Robino]] 01:10, 1 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />
:It would be good however to follow some kinda standard for this. Maybe Wikipedia has something somewhere? Whoever enjoys creating templates should look into that a wee bit... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:08, 21 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Salut, M. Tweek,<br>Would you mind having another brief look [[Talk:Hitchability_World_Map|here]]? I believe it would be very simple to add the '''senseless''' to '''very good''' tags to what we have now which basically only is the symbol and the "rate".

== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite". And AFAIK know we never had to block a real hitchhiker (and I don't think we'll ever need to :) So maybe it's possible to easily change the default settings? :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 09:51, 3 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

::::::: Good. The plugin makes sure they can't post urls, so probably they sign up and give up then. Talk to Guaka or Mikael for the extension, I don't know in detail what they did. What do you want to do with SQL? There is a way, of course, but since one could easily destroy the whole wiki, even accidently, there is no public access to it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] ([[User talk:MrTweek|talk]]) 13:26, 7 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: And admin rights on the BG, FI, ZH, TR & HR versions? '''And can we do something about blocking user names ending in digits? IMHO the most ideal solution would be to let them go through completely normal, but to not store them into the database, effectively "loosing them on the way".''' It would keep the logs clean, and on that subject, is there a way to show more entries on the "Recent Changes Cleanup", having been on the road for three days, it's not possible to clean out all spammy user creations any more!

:: About the user names with digits: I really don't like the idea, as we might lock out potential human users as well. As long as they just sign up and give up then, they don't do any harm. They just pollute the database, which isn't nice, but not a real problem either, I think. Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway. We might want to create a script to delete users that were never active at all after signing up or something like that. Anyone else has an opinion on that?<br />

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 15:45, 20 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: I moved the infobox to the right now. It's nice anyway :)<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />
:::: Hey, I've got numbers and several capital letters in my user name and I'm not a spammer ;) [[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 12:46, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />
::::: You're the exception that confirms the rule, and besides that spammers are to stupid to use accented letters! :) [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 14:00, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

== new blog on your list? :) ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek,<br />
<br />
We are Ania & Jon, a hitch-hiking couple who founded hitchhikershandbook.com<br />
<br />
We invite you to have a look at our blog and if you like it, please add it to your list :)<br />
<br />
We also have a list of hitch-hiking blogs, so if you know any blogs worth recommending, give us a shout:<br />
http://hitchhikershandbook.com/2012/12/04/how-to-travel-on-a-budget-transportation-part-1-hitchhiking/<br />

Many thanks and safe travels in the new year!<br />

<br />
Yes, thanks a dozen and happy hitching! :)<br />
<br />
== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash.

<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Alive again :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 06:20, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Cool! Does the bot add missing "opposite direction" link to translation? Say, if ''АБВГ'' article in Russian has link to ''en:ABCD'', it should add link to ''ru:АБВГ'' to ''ABCD'', should it? For example, I see that the bot fixed link in [[ru:Гомель]] to [[en:Gomel]] (there was a link to redirected page before), but [[en:Gomel]] still doesn't have link to [[ru:Гомель]] --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Yes, that is what it should do. And also add other languages, if they are set on of the pages. I'm not sure why this is not working in that case, but will have a look. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::::: Maybe it will add back-links on next pass? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 13:44, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />

::: Will it run periodically or you'll run it manually? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />

Is there an option to see the IP addresses of newly created accounts?

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

Hey! Thanks for the message, can't figure out how to message people, so I hope you get this.

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />
Greets. --[[User:Paluch|Paluch]] 01:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)<br />

What happened to [[User:Marvin]]? I've tried pywikipediabot a couple of times and even though I love Python I never tried hard enough to get something decent out of it. But it would be nice to have our beloved bot do some useful work around here though... :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 15:49, 10 November 2010 (CET)<br />
: Don't know. Zac hasn't been here for ages. [[User:Lanigiro|Lanigiro]] is doing his job quite well lately though. He is also a pywikipediabot. What do you want him to do, that he doesn't yet? Should be easy to enhance him. You can also have access to his scripts, if you want. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:51, 10 November 2010 (CET)<br />

== Hitchhiking dream? ==<br />
Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day. After your reply, I checked your profile and was surprised to read that your dream is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. Well, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now! (more specifically, I'm going from my house in Spain to it's exact antipode in New Zealand).<br />
I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />
I hope you set up your mind and go, it's a really amazing trip! :D<br />
Best luck with it and happy new hitchhiking year! ^^<br />
: hey cool! thanks for motivation ;) actually i got it all sorted out and will definitely go, starting in june. i'll e-mail you some time next month. i have some questions, especially about visas. happy new year. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:44, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers!

Ha! I didn't see it was in events. Fair enough :-) [[User:Robino|Robino]] 01:10, 1 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />
:It would be good however to follow some kinda standard for this. Maybe Wikipedia has something somewhere? Whoever enjoys creating templates should look into that a wee bit... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:08, 21 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Salut, M. Tweek,<br>Would you mind having another brief look [[Talk:Hitchability_World_Map|here]]? I believe it would be very simple to add the '''senseless''' to '''very good''' tags to what we have now which basically only is the symbol and the "rate". Catch my drift? ;-) once you'd add it I'd be all over this place replacing 'em templates in the country articles :-)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 19:27, 4 September 2011 (CEST)<br />

== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite". And AFAIK know we never had to block a real hitchhiker (and I don't think we'll ever need to :) So maybe it's possible to easily change the default settings? :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 09:51, 3 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

I blocked "Apothecary" but he's legit. Unblocked him, be he claims his IP address is still blocked. How do I unblock that if I cannot see it? Thanks [[User:Prino|Prino]] 12:48, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

<br />
[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete] might also be useful to prune the list of users, i.e. remove the blocked spammer names from the site. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 08:16, 25 August 2012 (CEST)<br />

Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway. We might want to create a script to delete users that were never active at all after signing up or something like that. Anyone else has an opinion on that?<br />

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 15:45, 20 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: I moved the infobox to the right now. It's nice anyway :)<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

We invite you to have a look at our blog and if you like it, please add it to your list :)<br />
<br />
We also have a list of hitch-hiking blogs, so if you know any blogs worth recommending, give us a shout:<br />

== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />

== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash.

<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Alive again :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 06:20, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Cool! Does the bot add missing "opposite direction" link to translation? Say, if ''АБВГ'' article in Russian has link to ''en:ABCD'', it should add link to ''ru:АБВГ'' to ''ABCD'', should it? For example, I see that the bot fixed link in [[ru:Гомель]] to [[en:Gomel]] (there was a link to redirected page before), but [[en:Gomel]] still doesn't have link to [[ru:Гомель]] --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Yes, that is what it should do. And also add other languages, if they are set on of the pages. I'm not sure why this is not working in that case, but will have a look. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::::: Maybe it will add back-links on next pass? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 13:44, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::::: Yes, you are right. The link is there now. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 23:47, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Will it run periodically or you'll run it manually? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Right now it is only manually, but once I am confident that it does what it should, I will set it up to run daily or weekly or something like that. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />

hey! I read something in German about the Trampertreffen in September. Could you share some information on that in English? Are there only German speakers coming?

Maybe we can create a more detailed general event-page or something? --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 15:17, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />
: I just forgot to add it to the news section, thanks for reminding me ;) There will be mainly German speakers, but usually also some foreigners. Everybody's welcome. However planings are still in progress, so no detailed information yet. Would be cool to meet you there --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:25, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />
Greets. --[[User:Paluch|Paluch]] 01:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)<br />

Firstly, i am interested how you found my blog, and would like to thank you for including me.<br />

== Hitchhiking dream? ==<br />
Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day. After your reply, I checked your profile and was surprised to read that your dream is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. Well, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now! (more specifically, I'm going from my house in Spain to it's exact antipode in New Zealand).<br />
I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />
I hope you set up your mind and go, it's a really amazing trip! :D<br />
Best luck with it and happy new hitchhiking year! ^^<br />
: hey cool! thanks for motivation ;) actually i got it all sorted out and will definitely go, starting in june. i'll e-mail you some time next month. i have some questions, especially about visas. happy new year. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:44, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />

Hey, alles klar? ;-) Meinst du man könnte Border Crossings irgendwie mit Category:Border Crossings verbinden/zusammenfügen, sodass man nicht nur den Info text bekommt sondern gleichzeitig ein paar beispiele verlinkt sieht? umgekehrt dasselbe ... und schaust du mal nach Swiecko?

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers!

== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />

Salut, M. Tweek,<br>Would you mind having another brief look [[Talk:Hitchability_World_Map|here]]?

== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite".

: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway.

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

<br />
We also have a list of hitch-hiking blogs, so if you know any blogs worth recommending, give us a shout:<br />

== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />

== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />

<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Alive again :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 06:20, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Cool! Does the bot add missing "opposite direction" link to translation? Say, if ''АБВГ'' article in Russian has link to ''en:ABCD'', it should add link to ''ru:АБВГ'' to ''ABCD'', should it? For example, I see that the bot fixed link in [[ru:Гомель]] to [[en:Gomel]] (there was a link to redirected page before), but [[en:Gomel]] still doesn't have link to [[ru:Гомель]] --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Yes, that is what it should do. And also add other languages, if they are set on of the pages. I'm not sure why this is not working in that case, but will have a look. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::::: Maybe it will add back-links on next pass? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 13:44, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Will it run periodically or you'll run it manually? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
:::: Right now it is only manually, but once I am confident that it does what it should, I will set it up to run daily or weekly or something like that. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 13:39, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />

== The ugly as fuck hitchwiki skin and other problems ==<br />

but apparently the skin is more important - I like the vector layout, others the classic mediawiki one, why cant we keep at least those two?<br />
: Because you are the only one who complains about the skin. But tend to be rude as fuck so nobody seems to be too keen on accommodating your requests. <br />

We are currently under a very persistent vandalism attack. Can you please prevent anonymous edit for at least a few days? The attack is nasty in that many pages are changed multiple times which makes it very hard to rollback all changes. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 08:30, 30 April 2011 (CEST)<br />

Is there an option to see the IP addresses of newly created accounts? I (not very wildly) guess that the current flood is caused by botnets - from my experience as Admin at the [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems Support site] I know that usernames like the two I just blocked, Fastoomph606455 and Gamylounge549364, are very typical for automated systems.

Thanks for the Welcome! Its jolly good to be editing on here now that I'm back on my own turf :) after using it a lot. By the way, I guess you're aware that on the hitchwiki maps page, typing in any city to the search bar is always taking me to Paris?! This has happened to me in europe and in Australia, I guess its a common problem? Its a lovely city... to be sure.. but other places are nice too :) I noticed your name on the maps tutorial page, have you any advice on this? :) [[User:Dear sarah|Dear Sarah]] 02:10, 24 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Joho MrTweek, I never did hitch out of Düsseldorf directly as i think it's not so fast. I am always driving to Oberhausen Sterkrade instead and from there to Heinrich-Heine-Str. I wrote it in the Düsseldorf page. I'll try to post all my tips here. Let's keep this website growing ;).<br />

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

Hey! Thanks for the message, can't figure out how to message people, so I hope you get this.

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />
:Probably my mistake ;) I'll fix it the next days when I'm home again. --MrTweek<br />

hey! I read something in German about the Trampertreffen in September. Could you share some information on that in English? Are there only German speakers coming? Would love to come by and also possibly discuss things related to hitchwiki and so on. Maybe we can create a more detailed general event-page or something? --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 15:17, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />
: I just forgot to add it to the news section, thanks for reminding me ;) There will be mainly German speakers, but usually also some foreigners. Everybody's welcome. However planings are still in progress, so no detailed information yet. Would be cool to meet you there --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:25, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />

Thanks for adding the if & co to hitchwiki. This makes it fun... :) Hopefully many people will use it and there will be some more knowledge transfer between the languages and cultures... --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 08:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />
Greets. --[[User:Paluch|Paluch]] 01:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)<br />

Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day.

I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />

== border crossings == <br />
Hey, alles klar? ;-) Meinst du man könnte Border Crossings irgendwie mit Category:Border Crossings verbinden/zusammenfügen, sodass man nicht nur den Info text bekommt sondern gleichzeitig ein paar beispiele verlinkt sieht? umgekehrt dasselbe ... und schaust du mal nach Swiecko? Ich hab das Verschieben nicht so perfekt hinbekommen, noch dazu mit Groß/Kleinschreibung und Sonderzeichen ;-) <br />
Bist du jetzt eigentlich unterwegs?? <br />
Viele Grüße,<br />
Jona<br />
: Hey Jona. Man könnte die sicherlich zusammenfügen... einfach den Text kopieren und einen redirect machen. Bei Swiecko sieht so weit ich das sehe alles gut aus.<br />
: Ich werd erst im Juni starten, wenns warm wird. Evtl. noch das Tramperrennen mitmachen, wenn ich das in meine Route einbauen kann.<br />
: Schönen Gruß!<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers! (and should also be easy filterable via a regex) [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:05, 11 March 2012 (CET)<br />

Ha! I didn't see it was in events. Fair enough :-) [[User:Robino|Robino]] 01:10, 1 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />
:It would be good however to follow some kinda standard for this. Maybe Wikipedia has something somewhere? Whoever enjoys creating templates should look into that a wee bit... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:08, 21 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Special:ListFiles ==<br />
<br />
Can you make the "user" column of this table also sortable? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 01:32, 12 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Map problem ==<br />
<br />
I like to use the iframe possibility, but your program seems to not understand the longitude parameter, the following map should show the service station Inntal West, but have a look:<br />

== planet hitchwiki / sms ==<br />
<br />
hey, i love the hitchwiki planet, and i've got a question:<br />
the abgefahren sms blog is totally swamping the planet and i think you're running that as well -- would it be possible to make the syndicated rss a daily (or weekly or whatever) roundup of the texts? right now there's nothing but text messages on there, and while they're fun, i really come to the planet for the more long-winded hitchhiking stories... ;) cheers! [[User:Teja|Teja]] 16:12, 25 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Hitchability, again ==<br />
<br />
Salut, M. Tweek,<br>Would you mind having another brief look [[Talk:Hitchability_World_Map|here]]? I believe it would be very simple to add the '''senseless''' to '''very good''' tags to what we have now which basically only is the symbol and the "rate". Catch my drift? ;-) once you'd add it I'd be all over this place replacing 'em templates in the country articles :-)--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 19:27, 4 September 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite". And AFAIK know we never had to block a real hitchhiker (and I don't think we'll ever need to :) So maybe it's possible to easily change the default settings? :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 09:51, 3 October 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Unblock IP address - how? ==<br />
<br />
I blocked "Apothecary" but he's legit. Unblocked him, be he claims his IP address is still blocked. How do I unblock that if I cannot see it? Thanks [[User:Prino|Prino]] 12:48, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 13:35, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />

Hey :) You mentioned on your page that you are hitchhiking to Australia, where are you right now? In Cambodia?

: Hallo Jan, wenn ich nur den einzelnen Artikel verlinke verschwindet er schnell wieder, weil die Artikel im Planet chronologisch sortiert werden. Ich kann dein ganzes Blog einfügen - aber dann sind eben auch die Artikel mit drin, die nicht ums Trampen gehen. Was meinst du? Am einfachsten wäre es vielleicht, wenn du in deinem Blog eine Kategorie "Trampen" oder so erstellst, dann könnte ich nur die Artikel aus dieser Kategorie übernehmen und wenn noch öfter zu dem Thema schreibst, landen die neuen Artikel automatisch bei uns.

== New extension ==<br />
<br />
Can you consider installing [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Recent_Changes_Cleanup Recent Changes Cleanup] extension, so that we can clean up the [[Special:RecentChanges]] log, which is currently struggling under large amounts of blocks of spammers. <br />
<br />
[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete] might also be useful to prune the list of users, i.e. remove the blocked spammer names from the site. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 08:16, 25 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
: I installed the Recent Changes Cleanup now. You can use it at [[Special:RecentChangesCleanup]]. For the other extension, I need to upgrade mediawiki first, which I will hopefully do within the next days. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:09, 27 August 2012 (CEST)<br />
::The Recent Changes Cleanup page displays completely messed up. Tried logging of/on, no effect, can you have a look? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:44, 19 September 2012 (CEST)<br />

<br />
== Admin rights ==<br />
<br />
Can you also give me admin rights on the other language parts where I currently do not have them (de, pl, pt, fr), so that I can also kick out spammers on them? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 08:38, 20 September 2012 (CEST)<br />

::::::: Good. The plugin makes sure they can't post urls, so probably they sign up and give up then. Talk to Guaka or Mikael for the extension, I don't know in detail what they did. What do you want to do with SQL? There is a way, of course, but since one could easily destroy the whole wiki, even accidently, there is no public access to it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] ([[User talk:MrTweek|talk]]) 13:26, 7 October 2012 (CEST)<br />

Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway. We might want to create a script to delete users that were never active at all after signing up or something like that. Anyone else has an opinion on that?<br />

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:QuéSéYo2|QuéSéYo2]] ([[User talk:QuéSéYo2|talk]]) 15:45, 20 October 2012 (CEST)<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

: I suppose you mean to the hitchhiking planet? I just added it there. Cheers, [[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:59, 6 January 2013 (CET)<br />
<br />
Yes, thanks a dozen and happy hitching! :)<br />
<br />
== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash. However, there was barely anything useful left anyway, which is why I never bothered to reorganize it into a new database --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 01:06, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Alive again :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 06:20, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Cool! Does the bot add missing "opposite direction" link to translation? Say, if ''АБВГ'' article in Russian has link to ''en:ABCD'', it should add link to ''ru:АБВГ'' to ''ABCD'', should it? For example, I see that the bot fixed link in [[ru:Гомель]] to [[en:Gomel]] (there was a link to redirected page before), but [[en:Gomel]] still doesn't have link to [[ru:Гомель]] --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
::: Will it run periodically or you'll run it manually? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 12:26, 14 January 2016 (CET)<br />
<br />
== The ugly as fuck hitchwiki skin and other problems ==<br />
<br />
If hitchwiki is owned by a community, why does Mikael get free reign in changing it?<br />
: Because he is the only one who does it.<br />
:: Why doesn't he talk about this first?<br />
::: I don't know --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 00:33, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
Flags and other images pulled from Mediawiki Commons still don't display (other than 30px etc),<br />
: True, didn't notice that. Will try fixing this later today.<br />
:: Doesn't this [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki/issues/93#issuecomment-165814287 bug] relates to this? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 23:01, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
::: I reported [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki-private/issues/139 this] on 10 November... [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small><sup>[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]</sup></small> 00:19, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:::: I didn't see that, sorry. For important things, feel free to email me directly. I don't really check github that much. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 00:33, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
but apparently the skin is more important - I like the vector layout, others the classic mediawiki one, why cant we keep at least those two?<br />
: Because you are the only one who complains about the skin. But tend to be rude as fuck so nobody seems to be too keen on accommodating your requests. <br />
:: Sorry for that, but a change that is this far-reaching should be discussed with the community first! [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small><sup>[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]</sup></small> 00:19, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
::: In some ways this behaviour is the same as the one exercised by M$: Giving updates that aren't updates at all, but telemetry crap that cannot be blocked, and 3Gb keylogger that looks like an OS! [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small><sup>[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]</sup></small> 00:19, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: Small comment regarding skin, as here's a speech on it: in Language menu in non-English versions there's no "English" item --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 23:01, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
And have you seen the new users registering? Obviously the anti-bot measures are totally broken at the moment!<br />
: Yeah, must have broken from the update. I disabled registrations for now until I find out what went wrong.<br />
--[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 22:46, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
:: There is a more elaborate Recaptcha (as used by the RDNS option on the Check User Special page), and for what it's worth, I hope it's OK this time that I M&D the rubbish that's been registering today? [[User:Prino|Prino]]<small><sup>[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]</sup></small> 00:19, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />
::: Yes, feel free to clean them up. I just installed reCaptcha again. It's daytime here now, so I'll keep an eye on it. Will also try registering on stopforumspam again. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 00:33, 22 December 2015 (CET)<br />

Thanks for the Welcome! Its jolly good to be editing on here now that I'm back on my own turf :) after using it a lot. By the way, I guess you're aware that on the hitchwiki maps page, typing in any city to the search bar is always taking me to Paris?! This has happened to me in europe and in Australia, I guess its a common problem? Its a lovely city... to be sure.. but other places are nice too :) I noticed your name on the maps tutorial page, have you any advice on this? :) [[User:Dear sarah|Dear Sarah]] 02:10, 24 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Joho MrTweek, I never did hitch out of Düsseldorf directly as i think it's not so fast. I am always driving to Oberhausen Sterkrade instead and from there to Heinrich-Heine-Str. I wrote it in the Düsseldorf page. I'll try to post all my tips here. Let's keep this website growing ;).<br />

Howdy MrTweek, thanks for your message! Chile is in fact a wonderful country with amicable inhabitants. Indeed, that must be why I've settled down here for the time being.

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />
:Probably my mistake ;) I'll fix it the next days when I'm home again. --MrTweek<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />
Greets. --[[User:Paluch|Paluch]] 01:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)<br />

hi,<br />

My name is Liam Walls, and I write the blog "liam's gone awol" that appears on your http://hitchwiki.org/planet/ page. <br />
<br />
Firstly, i am interested how you found my blog, and would like to thank you for including me.<br />
<br />
Secondly, i would like to ask that you link to my blog rather that post it wholesale at http://hitchwiki.org/planet/. I would prefer that you post the heading an part of the blog, and then people can click a link if they want to read more. Do you think this would be possible?<br />
<br />
Oh, and can you reply by emailing me at liam.walls(ä)gmail.com ?<br />

:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers.

== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually.

== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />

:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible.

<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />

::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite".

: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

Ich kann dein ganzes Blog einfügen - aber dann sind eben auch die Artikel mit drin, die nicht ums Trampen gehen. Was meinst du? Am einfachsten wäre es vielleicht, wenn du in deinem Blog eine Kategorie "Trampen" oder so erstellst, dann könnte ich nur die Artikel aus dieser Kategorie übernehmen und wenn noch öfter zu dem Thema schreibst, landen die neuen Artikel automatisch bei uns.

<br />

Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway.

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />

== Edit conflict ==<br />
<br />
Have been talking to [[User:Strazdas007]] on Skype. Whatever he tries to edit will end, when he saves it with an "Editing conflict". I initially blocked him as his name is pretty spammy, but unbloced him later when he contacted me, and he was able to create his page yesterday, but right now he's completely stuck. Can you have a look at what's going on? He cannot even edit your talk page! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 09:14, 25 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule.

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash. However, there was barely anything useful left anyway, which is why I never bothered to reorganize it into a new database --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 01:06, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />

A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />
[[User:Prino|Prino]]<small><sup>[http://hitchwiki.org/prino/ blog], [[User talk:Prino|talk]]</sup></small> 23:36, 2 July 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Is Lanigiro alive? ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago. Do we have a chance to see his activity again? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 15:29, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />
: Hi Alexxy. No, the bot is dead right now. I'll try to revive it one day. Feel free to remind me, in case I forget. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 05:02, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
<br />
== The ugly as fuck hitchwiki skin and other problems ==<br />
<br />
If hitchwiki is owned by a community, why does Mikael get free reign in changing it?<br />
: Because he is the only one who does it.<br />
Flags and other images pulled from Mediawiki Commons still don't display (other than 30px etc),<br />
: True, didn't notice that. Will try fixing this later today.<br />
:: Doesn't this [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki/issues/93#issuecomment-165814287 bug] relates to this? --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 23:01, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
but apparently the skin is more important - I like the vector layout, others the classic mediawiki one, why cant we keep at least those two?<br />
: Because you are the only one who complains about the skin. But tend to be rude as fuck so nobody seems to be too keen on accommodating your requests.<br />
:: Small comment regarding skin, as here's a speech on it: in Language menu in non-English versions there's no "English" item --[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 23:01, 21 December 2015 (CET)<br />
And have you seen the new users registering? Obviously the anti-bot measures are totally broken at the moment!<br />
: Yeah, must have broken from the update. I disabled registrations for now until I find out what went wrong.<br />

<div>There are various hitchhiking '''phrasebooks''' to be found online.<br />
Since this is a wiki we can try to make the best one. A flexible one, where you can assemble your own phrasebook, with the languages you need for your trip.<br />
<br />
== How to add translations ==<br />
If you are a speaker of one of those many languages around the globe, and if you want to add the translation of these to this phrasebooks, just go to one of the phrasebook sites, choose your language and click on the “edit” button next to the name of the language. A textbox appears where you can find the phrases in English. Just write the translation behind the sentences, so that later you'll find the English translation next to the interpretation in your language.<br />

''Leave your comments and questions below.''<br />
<br />
== An Idea ==<br />
<br />
I was reading some topics on the forum squattheplanet.com and saw that they have some kind of discussion over people that you might meet when traveling around and why is good to avoid them. Some are just because they lie to you or simply because they are annoying but others are there for reasons more serious as stealing all your stuff, violent behavior or even rape. When I saw it the first time, I thought of it as a good idea and something that to my knowledge is not around for other countries (the forum is mainly about US travelers). Im thinking that HW is such a popular website that could host some sort of list of sketchy people and hopefully minimize incidents on fellow travelers that visit this site. <br />
<br />
I know its quite a challenge to decide when someone's comments are good enough to be trusted. So that is why I come here and propose this idea, to maybe start talking about a way in which people can start reporting on other people' s behavior (or even places, events, etc) and that this can be transmitted to other travelers.<br />
:Sorry, such a list would be totally illegal in Germany (where Hitchwiki is hosted & legally based) as well in other European countries. Dangerous/illegal stuff should anyway be reported to local police. Let's concentrate building better peer review / reference systems on [http://www.bewelcome.org BeWelcome] and [https://www.trustroots.org/ Trustroots]. Feel free also to improve "Awareness" section under [[Safety]]. Thanks for suggesting tho! -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 19:57, 2 March 2015 (CET)<br />
<br />
== recent changes across all languages ==<br />
http://hitchwikichanges.meteor.com/ can be useful for checking recent changes across all hitchwikis [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 23:37, 15 May 2013 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Testers wanted for Android app ==<br />
I'm working on [https://github.com/guaka/mediawikixml2meteor2phonegap a script to convert MediaWiki dumps into an app]. There's now an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.cordova.cordovahitchwikimeteorcom Android app for Hitchwiki]. It's really alpha and not very usable yet. Your [https://github.com/guaka/mediawikixml2meteor2phonegap/issues bug request and feature requests are very welcome]. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 21:39, 14 March 2013 (CET)<br />

<br />
== OAuth support plan ==<br />
I noticed that hitchwiki has OAuth extenison installed which is listed on version page: http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:Version<br />
But it seems has some configuration problems: http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:OAuthListConsumers<br />
Does hitchwiki has any plan on supporting OAuth? --[[User:VcamX|VcamX]] ([[User talk:VcamX|talk]]) 07:29, 4 July 2015 (CEST)<br />
:Yes! It's on the list definitely. Do you have some specific reason you'd need it? -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] ([[User talk:Mikael|talk]]) 20:27, 5 July 2015 (CEST)<br />
::Thanks for your reply! I'm currently working as a member of Pywikibot team on making Pywikibot support OAuth.

<br />
== Stickers ==<br />
I've seen that [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchwiki:Community_Portal/2009-2012#T_shirts.3F 5 years ago] the idea to make Hitchwiki stickers was proposed but I have seen nothing like it on the website. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make one now that the Hitchwiki logo is quit good ?<br />
I think that will be a very good way to spread the word about the hitchwiki, I've met a dozen of hitchhiker on the road this last week I could have give one stickers (with the url on it) to each of them. And we could stick them on hitchhiking spot<br />
What do you think ?<br />
[[User:LowBat|LowBat]] ([[User talk:LowBat|talk]]) 16:52, 16 August 2015 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Actually there are now Hitchwiki stickers. They were distributed in numbers at the 2015 Hitchgathering in France a few weeks ago. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:16, 20 August 2015 (CEST)<br />

Special:Preferences has been broken for a long time. Anyone know how to fix that? -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 23:58, 21 August 2015 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:I've reported this on [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki-private/issues/135 Github] on 3 July, PM'ed Guaka and Mikael, but nobody seems to care. There's another problem with the same result, <br />

==Linking user contributions to the User/User_talk pages ==<br />
Would it be possible to create a link from a user's contributions page directly to that user's User and User_talk pages? -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 23:58, 21 August 2015 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== History merge? ==<br />
Is it possible to merge page histories? I just copied and pasted the text from [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Nova_gorica&diff=80408&oldid=80375 Nova gorica] to [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Nova_Gorica&diff=80407&oldid=79201 Nova Gorica] to have all the information in one place, but if we could merge the histories that would be much better for proper attribution. -- [[User:Irningston|Irningston]] ([[User talk:Irningston|talk]]) 17:48, 6 September 2015 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Sign for a motorway ramp, where is no onramp ==<br />
[[File:Noonrampup.png]] [[File:Noonrampupredsquare.png]] [[File:Noonrampupred2.png]] A lot of motorways have junctions, where an onramp doesn't exist. I created these signs and ask, which of these is best qualified to understand, that there is no onramp in this direction? --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 18:26, 15 October 2015 (CEST)<br />

: The left one. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 19:26, 15 October 2015 (CEST)<br />

== Dev questions ==<br />
What is the best place for development related questions/bugs currently? I found [https://github.com/Hitchwiki/hitchwiki/issues GitHub] and [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/hitchwiki google group], but they seem to be inactive for at least half a year.--[[User:Alexxy|alexy]] ([[User talk:Alexxy|talk]]) 17:11, 14 December 2015 (CET)<br />

== Hitching trips on Google Maps ==<br />
<br />
Hi Philipp. I'm also trying to get my hitching tracks into Google Maps. However, after having drawn about 50 lines, the site has become really slow and I'm not able to add more lines fluently. Should you have any suggestions for this, then I'd be most interested. Here is one more map of a hitchhiker who put his trips into GM: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&q=http%3A%2F%2Fjochem.lesparre-dewaal.nl%2Fliftroutes.kml&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=0&ll=51.727028,6.240234&spn=12.809217,29.619141&z=5. He did it in another way, supposedly with an external (KML?) editor or a GIS application. [[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 2 July 2007<br />
: Yes, I have the same problems. It is ''very'' slow in Opera, but in Firefox it's ok. This depends a lot on your Computer speed. With my Pentium-M 1,6G Hz, it is just usable (in Firefox). In my company office with 2x2,8 GHz P4 it works very great. However, the more lines you draw, the slower it gets. I don't know about any external kml-editor. In google-earth you can at least read the files, but I think there is no possibility to edit them (but I'm not sure about that). Did you ask Jochem how he did this? I was wondering that too, because his maps look a little weird when you zoom very close. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
:: Well, in FireFox on my PIII 350 mhz, 256+64 mb RAM it is simply slow :). With a somewhat faster machine @ work it is not workable, with only IE at hand. And I've drawn about 5% of the lines now. I don't know exactly how Jochem did it. It would be much better to find a solution for another problem. I'm keeping track of the petition at maastricht.hitchbase.org. However, the site is being spammed and now I get lots of mails of fake signature entries for the petition. I haven't got time to filter everything out, but the new entrees must be confirmed by clicking a link in the e-mail. This has been set up in PHP by a contact of Markus (mabe in Abgefahren). --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:22, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
::: Ok, in this case, your machine is obviously the reason ;) In general, Firefox seems to be the fastet in interpreting JavaScript.<br />
::: Regarding your other problem: a nice, simple solution to avoid spam in forms is to add a textfield to the form, give it a name which spambots will like (i.e. email, name, url) and make it invisible (preferably with css). The user won't see it and won't fill it. The spambot doesn't know that it's invisible (they are not that good usually) and will probably fill some data into that field. Now you can delete all entries, where this field is filled. This worked really well for me in a few different cases. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:16, 2 July 2007 (CEST)<br />

== liftershalte on hitchwiki ==<br />
<br />
hey,<br />
<br />
i just added a map of lifterhalte into the hitchwiki information for [[Varna]] in Bulgaria. Unfortunately I wanted to have a map of [[Varna]] showing the hybrid maps view, but it only appears as a normal map. Nevertheless the html code shows "View=2", what obviously stands for hybrid, right? Is there any way to show this kind of map? Otherwise the map for Varna seems quite useless since googlemaps only displays one street there ;)<br />

hey! I read something in German about the Trampertreffen in September. Could you share some information on that in English? Are there only German speakers coming?

Maybe we can create a more detailed general event-page or something? --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 15:17, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />
: I just forgot to add it to the news section, thanks for reminding me ;) There will be mainly German speakers, but usually also some foreigners. Everybody's welcome. However planings are still in progress, so no detailed information yet. Would be cool to meet you there --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:25, 15 August 2008 (CEST)<br />

== Category:Germany ==<br />
<br />
Moin, why categorizing back all the city articles to Cat:Germany? It was just the idea to sort them all to their states/provinces, like it happens with the German wiki: [[:de:Kategorie:Deutschland]]. There, you go to the different states, and find the cities in there. Ok, it might be confusing for people who don't know in which states cities are located, but for that a) we have the city-template in the [[Germany]] article. Smaller cities/villages (like e.g. Hörstel) should stay in their state category, if you list them also in the germany category, it will be overcrowded once we have all 2000+ German cities in there ;) Hm, just my opinion, but I like the sorting from the german wiki much more, looks more sorted/cleaned up. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think ;) ? --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 20:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Categorizing back? Sorry, I didn't notice that :/ I just thought, we forgot that category all the time. No that I look at the German version, this looks quite good indeed. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 20:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhikers categories ==<br />
<br />
If there is a more detailed category (''Hitchhikers from...'') is to be applied, there is no need of keeping the old one (''Hitchhikers'') on the users' pages since it anyway includes the new, more detailed ones in itself. ;) --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 09:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Over-enthusiastic new user + maps + various ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you please, please, please do something about Sigurdas? His changes may be well intentioned, but to me it is vandalism! My user page is '''my''' user page (and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one who thinks about things this way) and he has no right to put his completely undiscussed changes on it! If making me a sysop allows me to protect my page, then please make me a sysop, I'm currently unemployed and have been doing quite a bit of editing already, so you can see what I've done.<br />
<br />
: I am sorry about that, Prino. [[Category_talk:Hitchhikers|There was]] a quick discussion about this category ('''Hitchhikers from...''') and back then nobody was against of creating and applying this category so I took it for granted to change users pages accordingly. In future I will try to avoid this kind of actions. Peace, --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 19:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Q2, maps: I painstakingly put a Google map for [[Oostende]] on the page for my current place of residence, it's now a openstreetmap.org map, which is almost without detail...<br />
<br />
Q3) Can you add the wikipedia character insertion box, so that it becomes a bit easier to add foreign characters, markup, symbols etc? And the longer edit tools toolbar (sub/super scripts, tables, etc)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Robert - robert(a)prino(d)org<br />
<br />
: Hmm, I understand that. However, the categories where always the only part of the userpages, that are "allowed" to be edited by others. This is due to the fact, that we want some consistency there. As sigurdas already said, we discussed that before and everyone agreed. Then again, I see that this discussion was probably too short, to let everyone notice it. I'm sorry about that. Oh, and looks like someone made you a sysop, very good :)<br />
: Q2: I changed that now. It's the parameter 'view'. 0=gmaps, 1=sattelite, 2=hybrid, 3=osm.<br />
: Q3: Yes, I'll put that on my to-do-list.<br />

== New article about statistics - limits? ==<br />
<br />
As one of the people with plenty of experience with statistics, I'm currently writing an article about the development of my statistics programs, from their very humble 5-tables per trip output to the somewhat over-the-top stuff they spew out now. Can you give me some guidance about article limits (i.e. no of lines) as it's likely to be pretty big, unless I create sub-pages linked to from the main page. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions as to where to put it? The main [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Statistics statistics] page seems to be just an idea-gathering place... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 10:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Hey, that sounds really cool :) There are no limits here, in theory you could write a book on one page. Just make sure its well-formatted and use senseful headlines, so it will be easy readable. I wouldn't use subpages, unless you have certain parts, that are useful on their own, without the context. I would suggest making a sub-page of the statistics site, separated by a /, i.e. [[Statistics/Prino Statistics Tool]], but it can also be a completely independent page as well. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

== please add my blog ==<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Check out my Blog at: http://hitchhikers.blog.com . Someone left me a comment saying you could maybe put a link to it on the wiki.<br />
<br />
I'm a hitchhiker and spiritual seeker, travelling currently in India, soon to head for Nepal and, if the Lord be willing, Tibet. So far I've hitchhiked on this trip from Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech rep., Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran. I flew from Teheran to Delhi and went on hitchhiking, the destinations in India you can see from my blog.<br />
<br />
This is my third trip hitchhiking in India and the second time I come from Finland (mostly) hitchhiking. The first time I covered all the distance overland, Finland-Sweden-(by boat to)Poland-Czech rep-Slovakia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-India. I 'cheated' on four occasions: boat from Sweden to Poland, bus in Turkey (from Sivas to Erzurum), train in Iran (a driver insisted on buying a train ticket for me from Esfahan to Bander Abbas) and a bus in Pakistan (from border to Quetta).<br />
<br />
I did my first trip to India in 2005. The second time was 2007, when I hitchhiked from Finland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Poland-Slovakia-Hungary-Serbia-Greece-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Israel-Egypt and then flew from Egypt to India. On that trip I 'cheated' in Greece, taking a train from Thessaloniki to Alexandropolis and between Syria(Damascos) and Jordan(Amman).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you now got interested in hitching in more exotic places, I truly recommend Turkey and Iran. The hospitality of the people in Islamic culture is amazing - the first time I was in Iran I hitched here and there for 3 weeks and only one night I ended up sleeping in a guest house - otherwise the drivers (or others I met, walking around in smaller villages for example) would always invite me to their homes.<br />

==Paluch's questions about hitchwiki maps==<br />
From [[User talk:Guaka]]:<br />
I have some questions about Hitchwiki maps. I was searching through, but i couldn't find any up date info. First of all is it possible to edit other users spots. There is many roads being built or rebuilt in Poland recently and there are more and more spots that need or will need some updates or even removal. Second is how can I set my home position other than Paris, maybe I'm blind;) but couldn't find it. Third, I see there are changes in the maps in city pages. No more thumb symbols with rating. Any reasons why? Any recent talk page about? Thanx for any help. Greets! [[User:Paluch|Paluch]]<br />
<br />
==Paluch again about hitchwiki maps and some other stuff==<br />
Hey thanks for your quick reply and improving the map. So far I've found one point to be removed as two users marked the same spot and write quite opposite description. But there's loads of points that need some updates and edits. I think we should avoid writing very subjective description, especially now after you created rating system. Maybe Hitchwiki Maps Help/FAQ section should be changed. There should be information what to write in the description. Probably most of us are not interested about some complaining of one user. I would like to find short info stating what kind of spot it is, like petrol station, slip road or lay-by and info about how to get there. Personal feelings about the spot should be stated only by rating. If I can edit points I will check all the points in Poland and abroad I know and clean them up a bit.<br />
Another thing is that I don't really know how to change my home position. And when I click My Points nothing happens. Any bug? Why some points are shown e.g. in zoom 3 and others not. How does it work? What is New Collection about? And last thing: sometimes when I have time I look for hitching spots online, mostly on Google Maps and Google search. I think I've found good spots in southern Madrid, which are not written in Madrid page. But I didn't have chance to check them out in real life, so I don't want to add them to city page. Maybe we can make a new section called e.g. Spots To Be? so other users when have possibility can check them out. What do you think about this?<br />
Greets. --[[User:Paluch|Paluch]] 01:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Hitchhiking dream? ==<br />
Hey MrTweek, this is [[User:Dargeron|Dargeron]], who improved the Baku section the other day. After your reply, I checked your profile and was surprised to read that your dream is to hitchhike from Europe to Australia. Well, but that's exactly what I'm doing right now! (more specifically, I'm going from my house in Spain to it's exact antipode in New Zealand).<br />
I am in China now, and I hope to be in NZ by summer, so if you need any sort of information at all, just contact me by hitchwiki or at my email!<br />
I hope you set up your mind and go, it's a really amazing trip! :D<br />
Best luck with it and happy new hitchhiking year! ^^<br />
: hey cool! thanks for motivation ;) actually i got it all sorted out and will definitely go, starting in june. i'll e-mail you some time next month. i have some questions, especially about visas. happy new year. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:44, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />

Hey, alles klar? ;-) Meinst du man könnte Border Crossings irgendwie mit Category:Border Crossings verbinden/zusammenfügen, sodass man nicht nur den Info text bekommt sondern gleichzeitig ein paar beispiele verlinkt sieht? umgekehrt dasselbe ... und schaust du mal nach Swiecko? Ich hab das Verschieben nicht so perfekt hinbekommen, noch dazu mit Groß/Kleinschreibung und Sonderzeichen ;-) <br />
Bist du jetzt eigentlich unterwegs?? <br />
Viele Grüße,<br />

== Spammers ==<br />
<br />
Suggestion, if possible: block all usernames of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' [[User:Prino|Prino]] 18:08, 25 February 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
Is there a way for non-Bureaucrats Administrators (i.e. people like me, Prino) to see the IP addresses of newly created users. I have the distinct feeling that the spammers are now using a different format of name, and I'm pretty certain that "Nealedward", "Kriechstrom" and "Lloydbryan" will turn out to be more spammers... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 00:49, 30 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:I'm unfortunately no expert on this spam issue, though I made you Bureaucrat as well, Prino. Hope that helps! All the best for 2012, --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 09:01, 31 December 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
:: Can you (or anyone in the know) please, pretty please try to do something to block usernames that are of the format 'letters' followed by 'numbers' (via een regex?) They are invariably spammers. Names of the format XalalaXalala (X: '''any''' uppercase consonant, a: '''any''' lowercase vowel & l: '''any''' lowercase consonant) are also spammers!

== Events template ==<br />
<br />
IMHO the events should be ordered the way they ware, i.e. latest at the top... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 22:11, 16 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Hmm, but why? I think the events that happen really soon should be on top. Sometimes, we had events that are more than 1 year in the future. They would stay on top all the time then. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:43, 17 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:: That's true, but maybe the template should have an additional entry that links to future events like those further away than 60/90/180 days? Is there no way of automating this and also to "roll-off" events that have passed? [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:22, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
::: I added an horizontal line between events for this summer and event(s) after summer. Not sure which criteria to use. 3 months? 6 months? It's not easy to automate it. There might be plugins for that, but I think as long as we never had more than 10 events, we can handle it manually. I'll do some research anyway. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:27, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Cleanup registered but inactive users ==<br />
<br />
There are currently around 500 users who made edits in the last 91 days, on a total of more than 2,000 and some user-names seem to be very fishy, like<br />
<br />
* 3P2e3K68 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 17:12:10)<br />
* 3j2e3m64 (Created on 2007-09-30 at 09:48:20)<br />
* 9Pd2q8Kh (Created on 2007-10-01 at 22:31:42)<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be possible to match the "made edits" and "all users" lists against each other, and delete all users who never made any edits and haven't logged on for more than 365 (or whatever) days? I'm administrator on [http://zos.efglobe.com/index.php Dezhi Systems support site] and here we go even further, people need to be activated by an admin to get write access to the forum (about 95% of our requested registrations are coming from spammers) and people who haven't returned in the month following activation are mercilessly zapped, as are those who have never posted and and haven't logged in for over six months. It keeps things tidy... [[User:Prino|Prino]] 11:35, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
: Yeah, I agree and I'd love to do that. The thing is, mediawiki does not really support deleting users. We can only block them, or set them inactive, but they will not disappear from the user list. I am not sure why.<br />
:: Might this be of any use: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete User Merge and Delete extension]<br />
::: But then again, the question is: why do we want that? It'll will keep the records clean, yes, but does it have any practical use? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:18, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:::: I'm from the z/OS world, where userid's are deleted the moment someone leaves a company. It's a matter of security. If a userid no longer exists, it cannot be abused. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 21:20, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
:At the moment, we don't have a problem with spammers. They will surely come back some time, but as long as they don't, I'd prefer keeping hitchwiki as open as possible. Wikipedia is a good example that even huge sites can live with anonymous edits and automated registrations. I guess it's a matter of the ratio between active users and active spammers. Let's see how it will work for us :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 11:44, 21 March 2011 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Template wildgrowth ==<br />
<br />
Do we really need any more templates on every country, like i.e.<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Cities Netherlands}}<br />
{{Provinces NL}}</nowiki></b> in the Netherlands or<br />
<br />
<b><nowiki>{{Regions Denmark}}</nowiki></b> in Denmark.<br />
<br />
These are IMHO completely irrelevant as far as hitchhiking is concerned. [[User:Prino|Prino]] 17:25, 16 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Good question. I did not create any of these and hardly ever use them. Then again, I don't see how they cause any harm. Can't be that bad to have many links between many pages, can it? 12:35, 20 May 2011 MrTweek<br />
<br />
:Yeah why not have them? Links are good.<br />

== 6 months? ==<br />
Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that spammers will become nice contributors after 6 months... So it's best to just block them forever! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 00:47, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
: Hmm, true. I didn't really think about it. So we said 6 months for ip addresses and infinite for usernames, right? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:59, 2 October 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Probably we decided that somewhere. No one has been able to edit without being logged in for quite a while already, so that should make all blocks on spammers "infinite".

: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)<br />
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?

Actually, as long as they don't post anything, I don't even block them any more, because I don't think they will ever come back anyway.

== Infobox region + IsIn ==<br />
<br />
Hi MrTweek, I've got a question about the Template:Infobox region, maybe you can help me with that: <br />
I've been adding it to most articles on Mexican states. The problem is that it stays on top of the article (see [[Campeche]] or [[Michoacán]] for an example). However, I'd like the infobox to float right, as does a map without an infobox yet, e.g. in [[Nuevo León]]. <br />
And I've got another question, about the Template:IsIn. It seems to have disappeared with the new Hitchwiki design. Is there any chance of getting it back?<br />
Cheers,<br />

: Damn, I assume, that has to do with the anti-spambot extension. Users who signed up less than 7 days ago and have less than 10 edits can not post external links. Unfortunately, this seems to also block editing pages, that already have external links in them. I'll try to fix that on the weekends.<br />
: Also, can you please stop randomly blocking new users, unless you know for sure they are spammers? I just got another complaint by [[User:MaxHeiliger]], and I am sure, not every user who is blocked on accident will complain, some might just give up. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 04:33, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
:: If you look at the block log, you will see that I (and GeorgDerReisende) don't really block randomly. I admit that there is a chance that we may accidentally block a bona-fide user and MaxHeiliger was borderline. Strasdaz007 and FelixAkk clearly fit the pattern of the spammers we have to cope with at the moment. If someone's really real, they will email, as MaxHeiliger, Strazdas007 and FelixAkk have done (and some other girl a while ago). Given that ever spammer can read what you wrote above (unlikely, but not impossible), better, IMHO, safe than sorry. If you look at the list of active (genuine) users, there are virtually none with numbers in their usernames, or more than one capital letter, so anyone who creates a username with both of these characteristics is quite likely some bot following a programmed rule. [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 13:18, 26 October 2012 (CEST)<br />
::: I don't really agree with 'better safe than sorry', especially since we had hardly any spam (or even none at all?) recently. I made the restrictions a little more lose now, let's see if that brings the spammers back. If not, we can just stop banning users before they posted spam. At least now everyone should be able to post again. We'll see. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 03:35, 28 October 2012 (CET)<br />

<br />
Yes, thanks a dozen and happy hitching! :)<br />
<br />
== Login problems ==<br />
<br />
For whatever reason, logging in to one (/en) wiki, will no longer automatically log you on the the others. Is this deliberate, or is it a bug? <br />
<br />
It's definitely very inconvenient, as the /en password is rejected by all others... :( [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
: Yes, it's a known bug. I think Mikael (simison) is working on it. Should be fixed soon. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 10:33, 20 April 2013 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== CSS, big problem ==<br />
<br />
Has something been changed with regards to the CSS?<br />
<br />
The "Hitchwiki" default is working (well, sort of...), but all others result in long pages without any formatting. This happens both on Firefox and IE. Can you please, please, please have a look at it, and change back whatever caused this behaviour. Thanks! [[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 10:27, 31 July 2013 (CEST)<br />

== Image summaries not showing up ==<br />
I am reuploading some images for the united states articles and I can't get the description/summary to appear below the image. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
== digihitch emails ==<br />
<br />
Kasper said you might have access to a list of old digihitch emails from 2010 on some sort of mySQL dump? If there is any chance of finding them, it would help immensely in getting hitchingit.com up on its feet since the dismal failure of digihitch.com [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:03, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
: Sorry man, I don't have anything any more. I lost it in the hitchwiki server crash. However, there was barely anything useful left anyway, which is why I never bothered to reorganize it into a new database --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 01:06, 19 December 2013 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Regina? ==<br />
<br />
Hey there MrTweek, I've got two questions:<br />
<br />
: I was going to create a new page for the '''City of [[Regina]]'''. But it says that You deleted a previous page by the same name, Apr. of last year? It is a real city, and I have Hitched to, and from it. Before I recreate it, I think that it is a good idea to find out a little more about why it was deleted. The note on the page says that it was part of a "Mass removal of pages added by 24.29.233.163"--[[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 23:29, 15 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:: The only reason it was blocked is because someone spammed the page long time ago. I created it, now you should be able to edit it. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
: Canada, especially out west, really seems to be lacking information. I certainly have personal experiences to add to the site, but is it worthwhile for me to add info to the rest of the "Area" as well. Even cities that I have not necessarily Hitched through, but have been to? Getting them started now will save work for someone else down the road.<br />
:: As long as you can add any information that may be relevant to hitchhiking (i.e. on which routes it is, road conditions), you are welcome to create the pages. Just creating a skeleton of a page is fine too, as long as it contains more than one line :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<sup>([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])</sup> 02:33, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
:::Ok, sounds good - [[User:Fish Soup|Fish Soup]] ([[User talk:Fish Soup|talk]]) 02:55, 16 June 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Gexcube ==<br />
<br />
A real user? <br />
<br />
Google only results in hits on Radeon drivers and a Twitter account from someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with hitchhiking.<br />
<br />
Giving a reason will only allow (potential) spammers more clues on how to avoid being blocked...<br />

Hi! Recently we have increased activity in [[ru:АвтостопВики|Russian HitchWiki]] and I was looking for a bot for updating interwiki links. As I see, it was intended to be ran periodically, but his last activity was 2-3 years ago.

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' is a city in [[Russia]] located 500km south of [[Moscow]]. It is divided by a huge river turned into a water storage reservoir, so be sure to visit at least one of the bridges. The two main areas of the city are 'the Right shore' (правый берег), where the old city center is located, and the more or less newly build and industrial 'the Left shore' (левый берег). Mind that the Right shore is actually left (i.e. west) on the maps, and the Left shore is, respectively, on the right.<br />
M4 motorway, one of the biggest trading routes in Western Russia, flows into the city ringroad; hitching both north and south of Voronezh you can find a lot of trucks which are likely to bring you either to the Capital or to the Black Sea in one run.<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== North towards [[Moscow]] ===<br />
Find the Moscow lane (Moskovskyj Prospekt, Московский проспект) and take any bus or minibus which goes till the end of the city (ask people which buses go to Olympic (Олимпик, a park on the outskirts of the city) or watch for words like Воен.Городок, 9й километр, ВПИ. If you have problems with reading russian, just take any vehicle on the Moscow lane that goes north, soon it will bring you to a red glass pyramid (a war memorial) situated inside a roundabout; the bus will either turn left or move onward. If it turnes left go off and walk a little on north, just to the next bus stop. There, almost any transport will bring you to Olympic. After Olympic, all the buses turn back so you ll know when to get off for sure. Walk a little on and you will see the crossed sign 'Voronezh'. Its a nice hitching spot in day time, but its pitch dark there at night so be sure to have some light clothes and a torch, and get any car to bring you several kilometers forth, to the nearest bright spot.<br />
You can also take a bus heading to city park Grad (64, 34,84) (Сити-Парк Град), get off on last station and you will be on the road to Moscow.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Rostov-on-Don]], [[Krasnodar]], [[Novorossijsk]] and the Black Sea ===<br />
There are two options to hitch out south. If you are on the left shore (located right, i.e. east on the maps!) and it is daytime, you can take any bus going to Novaya Usman' (Новая Усмань). Most the marshrutkas already start on the right shore, so you can also go to stop at the big church, just before they cross the bridge. Get off right after it turnes off the main road and walk a little on – you will find a decent hitching spot which is already past the ringroad and the suburbia.<br />
Option two is to go north (see above) and hitch 17 km till the ringroad junction. Leave the car at the junction and walk on to the ringroad. There, you have very high chances to get a lift for a long distance, because most of the cars which take the ringroad travel from Moscow to at least Rostov-on-Don. Also, that is the only option to easily hitch out at night, since there are buses traversing Moscow lane till almost 0:30am and city hitching is pretty easy on this street.<br />
<br />
== Hitching In ==<br />
<br />
=== From the North ===<br />
<br />
The ringroad is 17 km away from the city; you can either take it or go straight in.<br />
* If you need to get to the Left (eastern shore) at night time, take the ring road<br />
* If you need to get to the Left shore at day time just go where the car goes; straight (Right shore) is also ok for you since there are numerous buses going across the river.<br />
* If you need to get to the Right shore and the car is following the ringroad then get off, walk over the junction and hitch straight on.<br />
<br />
=== From the South-East ===<br />
<br />
The M4 motorway runs through the Novaya Usman town before flowing into Voronezh ringroad; there are buses from Novaya Usman to the city center. You can take those but i would suggest moving on and getting off at the second ringroad junction (you will probably notice the METRO sign) then walking about 1km in the cash-and-carry direction till you reach the city itself. There, just take any bus to where you need to go.<br />
<br />
If you want to get to the Right shore while its night time, you will have to walk/city-hitch around 7 km of streets, so it is sometimes more reasonable to get off at the northern end of the ringroad and then hitch 17 km south to enter the western part of the city (see above).<br />
<br />
== Public Transport ==<br />
<br />
=== Buses and minibuses ===<br />
<br />
There are numerous buses and minibuses crawling around the city; they are pretty cheap (7/8 RUR for a bus/minibus in a day-time, 11/12 RUR after 10pm; 31 RUR ~ $1) but most of them do not operate between midnight and 6 am. The major route points are written on small white plate at the side of each vehicle; and they are not easy to read unless you are fluent in Russian. You will probably have to ask locals for complicated directions. <br />
Some key routes are: <br />
* bus #90, it goes from far north on the right shore to the far north on the left shore via city center;<br />
* minibus #125, big white minibuses going from far north to far south of the right (western) shore;<br />
* minibus #366B, that awesome means of transport can bring you to M4 interstate no matter where you go, North or South. Its lower end-point is Novaya Usman', a hitching spot for going towards [[Rostov-on-Don]] and upper one is some 10km away from Voronezh towards Moscow. <br />
<br />
key places to navigate: <br />
* the Pyramidа (пирамида), a war memorial and a roundabout in the northern part (Severnyj area);<br />
* the Tank (танк), a tank memorial in the southern part of the city;<br />
* Metro cash-n-carry, located near one of the ring-road junctions on the Left (eastern) shore.<br />
<br />
There is public transport to the airport (some 20 km towards Moscow), but getting there by hitching is also awesomely easy.<br />
<br />
=== City hitching ===<br />
<br />
There is no public trasportation after 1am for sure. Instead of taking a taxi, try to get a lift for free from locals – even a taxi car can sometimes drive you for free late night if it is already off duty. Just tell "Autostop! No money!!" to any car driver that stops to pick you, and smile. Even those who do not speak english will get you right. <br />
Do not hesitate to try city-hitching at daytime too if you can not find your way around; we have done it many times and can verify that it is quite possible.<br />
<br />
== Places to Visit ==<br />
<br />
* The bridges, especially Chernavsky most, the central one starting from Petrovsky Square (Right shore) and the double-level Severnyj (northern) bridge. There are awesome spiders on the upper level, where the now not operational tram tracks are located.<br />
* The city center, especially the Revolution lane (Prospekt Revolutsii, проспект Революции). Try to come there in summer time at night to listen to some good street music and watch the fire joggling etc.<br />
* Dinamo park, located not far the Severniy bridge; a somewhat abandoned stadium with awesome urban ruins.<br />
* Various monuments (the Bubble Gum monument; the Hairy Wall; the Owl, the Hanging girl, etc), cafes and other cute places scattered around the city center.<br />
* Some of the roofs. A lot of 5 storey houses have fire ladders still hanging down; its very easy to climb one and spend some time on the steep roof of the 70 yrs old building. Some taller roofs are also available but you will have to ask knowledgeble locals for the spots.<br />
<br />
== Places to Avoid ==<br />
<br />
City outskirts might be fairly dangerous at night; try to avoid areas like Otrozhka, VAI and other remote parts of Voronezh at dark time. You will not gamble your life going there after 0:00 but you are very likely to come back missing your cell phone and wallet and having a black eye.<br />
You may encounter some issues even in the city center (rare but possible) but this should be easier to handle; just talk so they see you are not Russian, smile, tell them to get lost or anything else that comes to your mind – this should work ok to send away all the rabble.<br />
<br />
== Accommodation and Sleep ==<br />
<br />
== Other Useful Info ==<br />
<br />
You can get a good city map for around $1 in any of the Press outlets as well as bookstores and petrol stations. Just ask for 'Karta' (map) and have your copy ;)<br />
Also, a small book containing the bus routes has been recently published, but I have no idea where to get one. Try to ask around!<br />

'''Moscow''' (Russian: Москва, ''Moskva'') is the capital and largest city of the [[Russia|Russian Federation]].<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== North towards [[Tver]], [[St. Petersburg]] {{Motorway Number Russia|10}} ===<br />
From metro station ''Речной Вокзал'' (Rechnoy Vokzal; green line) take bus #851 towards ''Шереметьево'' (Sheremetyevo). It's approx. 3 km from the metro station towards the Moscow Ring Road. You can get out at the bus stop just behind the interjection with the [[MKAD]] and start hitchhiking. Huge traffic, try to pick out a ride towards Tver at least.<!--good spot, 3min waiting time, verified by platschi, january 2010)--> The bus drives along the {{Motorway Number Russia|10}} through ''Химки'' (Khimki). Get out when the bus turns towards Sheremetyevo.<br />
<br />
=== North-East towards [[Yaroslavl]], [[Arkhangelsk]] {{Motorway Number Russia|8}} ===<br />
Take an elektrichka (local train) from Yaroslavsky train station. A possible, but probably far from the best, hitchhiking spot can be reached if you get off at Zelenogradskiy station. 20 mins (2.5 km) walk to the motorway, plus you need to cross it (+ 5-10 mins depending on the traffic). <br />
<br />
=== East towards [[Vladimir]], [[Nizhny Novgorod]], the Far East {{Motorway Number Russia|7}} ===<br />
[[File:Moscow east.jpg|thumb|The Hitchhiking spot (behind the bridge) in direction Vladimir]]<br />
Take the metro to the station ''Shosse Entuziastov'' (Шоссе Энтузиастов). From there, walk up to the main street and you'll directly be at the bus stop. Here, take bus #702 or #214 to ''Southern Izmaylovo'' (южное Измайлово). Get out at the last stop. Here you can already hear the motorway, though it's a bit difficult to find it in first place. Walk back in south-eastern direction until you'll find a McDonalds restaurant. This is directy located at the motorway junction of the ring. Walk for around 150m east down under the bridge until you find a good spot to start hitchhiking. Additionally, you can also walk 300m further until the petrol station and start hitchhiking on the hard shoulder just behind it. Traffic here is huge.<br />
<br />
=== South-East towards [[Ryazan]], [[M5]] ===<br />
Take the purple metro line (Tagensko-Krasnopresnenskaia) until "Kotelniki", the last station. Here you can easily walk go to the "Novoryazanskoe shossee"/M5, which is perpendicular to the street you arrived with the metro. The cross is a bridge, so you can get on it by stairs and start hitchhiking or walking some hundred of meters to get more ride. You are out from the MKAD-circle, but not from the moscow urban area : don't hesitate to get ride of 20 or 30 kms at the begining.<br />
<br />
=== South-West towards [[Kyiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} ===<br />
<br />
Take the metro to the station ''Yugo-Zapadnaya'' and then take bus #707 or #611 to the stop ''Dudkino''. You can hitchhike directly from the bus stop. This is the motorway ''Kievskoe shosse'' that goes all the way to [[Kyiv]]. Soon the motorway becomes a simple two-lane road, so that even if your driver must drop you off only after a few dozen kilometres, you can simply remain beside the road and soon get another lift onward.<br />
<br />
Other possibility is to take a train (elektrichka) to a small town '''Aprelevka''' (look at the map) - it is directly situated on the {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} motorway Moscow/Kiev. Just walk 1 km to the motorway (ask people about the direction). However, cars here move fast.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Kharkiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|2}} ===<br />
<br />
Take the metro to the station Annino (Аннино), it's situated on Varshavskoe Shosse (Варшавское шоссе). From there, walk towards [[MKAD]] and Simferopolskoe Shosse (Симферопольское шоссе), get out of the city through the traffic interchange on the intersection of MKAD and Varshavskoe Shosse, and then keep direction to M2 (Simferopolskoe Shosse) and walk approx. 2 km to the city line. There is a convenient spot at the roadside right before railway bridge where cars slow down. All cars there move strictly by M2.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Rostov-on-Don]] {{Motorway Number Russia|4}}, [[Volgograd]] {{Motorway Number Russia|6}} ===<br />
<br />
First of all you need to take metro line 6 (yellow line) to the station Teply Stan in the direction of Bittsevskyj Park. Then exit through the first exit to the right and just there you have the bus stop of the bus 37 and the marszrutka 37M. You can take either of them. They both enter the Moscow Ring (it's a 6 lanes road with lots of traffic, it would be really hard to miss). The bus exit back to the city and then comes back to the ring and there after it comes back you should get out on the first stop. With marszrutka you just have to look for the signs for M4 (it will be saying M4 650m to the right). When you exit just follow the signs and the road till you find a BP Gas Station. Hitch - hiking from there is easy.<br />
<br />
=== West towards [[Pskov]], [[Riga]] ([[Latvia]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|9}} ===<br />
Тake bus #127 from metro ''Молодёжная'' (Molodyozhnaya; blue line) towards ''Pублево'' (Rublevo) to the very last stop. Continue to walk straight along ''Улица Василия Ботылёва'' (Ulitsa Vasiliya Botylyova) for about 500m. You will find yourself just in front of the [[M9 (Russia)|M9]] motorway now. You will see that there is a noise protection wall, but it is possible to walk to the left behind the bridge, and after some meters you can climb up the hill up to the motorway. There's plenty of space on the hard shoulder to stop cars. Most traffic might only go to the next villages, so make sure to get a ride at least 30-50 km further out of the suburbs of Moscow.<br />
<br />
==WiFi and Energy==<br />
<br />
Compared to the european cities, Moscow is a far easier city to find open wi-fi signal. For an easy solution, many metro lines have public open wifi inside the trains (but not at the platforms). <br />
<br />
If you need also a power plug to charge your cellphone or computer, there are at least two good options: <br />
<br />
1) "Gorky Park" in the center (stations "Park Kultury" or "Oktyabrskaya"), coming from the central door and passing the big fountains, they have an area with wooden cubes and power plugs on it; if not avaliable, there are other few plugs around the park. All the park is also covered by open wifi (the connection lasts for 30 minutes but you can renew it indefinitely just refreshing the page). <br />
<br />
2) State Library (Biblioteca imeni Lenina) (in the center, homonymus metro station). It works on week days from 9 to 20 and on Saturdays from 9 to 19. There are big, comfortable study rooms inside it where you can plug your computer. To enter on it you need either a one-way card (free) or a 5 years subscription (which costs you 100 rbl. -- as of Oct 2014 -- for making the card with your name, photo etc). For making both, you need only your passport. However, to have a password to access the library's WiFi you will need the 5 years subscription. <br />
<br />
3) University buildings are usually good places for it but not in Russia; in general you cannot enter in the buildings unless you are a student or a functionary of it. <br />

'''Moscow''' (Russian: Москва, ''Moskva'') is the capital and largest city of the [[Russia|Russian Federation]].<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== North towards [[Tver]], [[St. Petersburg]] {{Motorway Number Russia|10}} ===<br />
From metro station ''Речной Вокзал'' (Rechnoy Vokzal; green line) take bus #851 towards ''Шереметьево'' (Sheremetyevo). It's approx. 3 km from the metro station towards the Moscow Ring Road. You can get out at the bus stop just behind the interjection with the [[MKAD]] and start hitchhiking. Huge traffic, try to pick out a ride towards Tver at least.<!--good spot, 3min waiting time, verified by platschi, january 2010)--> The bus drives along the {{Motorway Number Russia|10}} through ''Химки'' (Khimki). Get out when the bus turns towards Sheremetyevo.<br />
<br />
=== North-East towards [[Yaroslavl]], [[Arkhangelsk]] {{Motorway Number Russia|8}} ===<br />
Take an elektrichka (local train) from Yaroslavsky train station. A possible, but probably far from the best, hitchhiking spot can be reached if you get off at Zelenogradskiy station. 20 mins (2.5 km) walk to the motorway, plus you need to cross it (+ 5-10 mins depending on the traffic). <br />
<br />
=== East towards [[Vladimir]], [[Nizhny Novgorod]], the Far East {{Motorway Number Russia|7}} ===<br />
[[File:Moscow east.jpg|thumb|The Hitchhiking spot (behind the bridge) in direction Vladimir]]<br />
Take the metro to the station ''Shosse Entuziastov'' (Шоссе Энтузиастов). From there, walk up to the main street and you'll directly be at the bus stop. Here, take bus #702 or #214 to ''Southern Izmaylovo'' (южное Измайлово). Get out at the last stop. Here you can already hear the motorway, though it's a bit difficult to find it in first place. Walk back in south-eastern direction until you'll find a McDonalds restaurant. This is directy located at the motorway junction of the ring. Walk for around 150m east down under the bridge until you find a good spot to start hitchhiking. Additionally, you can also walk 300m further until the petrol station and start hitchhiking on the hard shoulder just behind it. Traffic here is huge.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== South-East towards [[Ryazan]], [[M5]] ===<br />
Take the purple metro line (Tagensko-Krasnopresnenskaia) until "Kotelniki", the last station. Here you can easily walk go to the "Novoryazanskoe shossee"/M5, which is perpendicular to the street you arrived with the metro. The cross is a bridge, so you can get on it by stairs and start hitchhiking or walking some hundred of meters to get more ride. You are out from the MKAD-circle, but not from the moscow urban area : don't hesitate to get ride of 20 or 30 kms at the begining.<br />
<br />
=== South-West towards [[Kyiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} ===<br />
<br />
Take the metro to the station ''Yugo-Zapadnaya'' and then take bus #707 or #611 to the stop ''Dudkino''. You can hitchhike directly from the bus stop. This is the motorway ''Kievskoe shosse'' that goes all the way to [[Kyiv]]. Soon the motorway becomes a simple two-lane road, so that even if your driver must drop you off only after a few dozen kilometres, you can simply remain beside the road and soon get another lift onward.<br />
<br />
Other possibility is to take a train (elektrichka) to a small town '''Aprelevka''' (look at the map) - it is directly situated on the {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} motorway Moscow/Kiev. Just walk 1 km to the motorway (ask people about the direction). However, cars here move fast.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Kharkiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|2}} ===<br />
<br />
Take the metro to the station Annino (Аннино), it's situated on Varshavskoe Shosse (Варшавское шоссе). From there, walk towards [[MKAD]] and Simferopolskoe Shosse (Симферопольское шоссе), get out of the city through the traffic interchange on the intersection of MKAD and Varshavskoe Shosse, and then keep direction to M2 (Simferopolskoe Shosse) and walk approx. 2 km to the city line. There is a convenient spot at the roadside right before railway bridge where cars slow down. All cars there move strictly by M2.<br />
<br />
=== South towards [[Rostov-on-Don]] {{Motorway Number Russia|4}}, [[Volgograd]] {{Motorway Number Russia|6}} ===<br />
<br />
First of all you need to take metro line 6 (yellow line) to the station Teply Stan in the direction of Bittsevskyj Park. Then exit through the first exit to the right and just there you have the bus stop of the bus 37 and the marszrutka 37M. You can take either of them. They both enter the Moscow Ring (it's a 6 lanes road with lots of traffic, it would be really hard to miss). The bus exit back to the city and then comes back to the ring and there after it comes back you should get out on the first stop. With marszrutka you just have to look for the signs for M4 (it will be saying M4 650m to the right). When you exit just follow the signs and the road till you find a BP Gas Station. Hitch - hiking from there is easy.<br />
<br />
=== West towards [[Pskov]], [[Riga]] ([[Latvia]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|9}} ===<br />
Тake bus #127 from metro ''Молодёжная'' (Molodyozhnaya; blue line) towards ''Pублево'' (Rublevo) to the very last stop. Continue to walk straight along ''Улица Василия Ботылёва'' (Ulitsa Vasiliya Botylyova) for about 500m. You will find yourself just in front of the [[M9 (Russia)|M9]] motorway now. You will see that there is a noise protection wall, but it is possible to walk to the left behind the bridge, and after some meters you can climb up the hill up to the motorway. There's plenty of space on the hard shoulder to stop cars. Most traffic might only go to the next villages, so make sure to get a ride at least 30-50 km further out of the suburbs of Moscow.<br />
<br />
==WiFi and Energy==<br />
<br />
Compared to the european cities, Moscow is a far easier city to find open wi-fi signal. For an easy solution, many metro lines have public open wifi inside the trains (but not at the platforms). <br />
<br />
If you need also a power plug to charge your cellphone or computer, there are at least two good options: <br />
<br />
1) "Gorky Park" in the center (stations "Park Kultury" or "Oktyabrskaya"), coming from the central door and passing the big fountains, they have an area with wooden cubes and power plugs on it; if not avaliable, there are other few plugs around the park. All the park is also covered by open wifi (the connection lasts for 30 minutes but you can renew it indefinitely just refreshing the page). <br />
<br />
2) State Library (Biblioteca imeni Lenina) (in the center, homonymus metro station). It works on week days from 9 to 20 and on Saturdays from 9 to 19. There are big, comfortable study rooms inside it where you can plug your computer. To enter on it you need either a one-way card (free) or a 5 years subscription (which costs you 100 rbl. -- as of Oct 2014 -- for making the card with your name, photo etc). For making both, you need only your passport. However, to have a password to access the library's WiFi you will need the 5 years subscription. <br />
<br />
3) University buildings are usually good places for it but not in Russia; in general you cannot enter in the buildings unless you are a student or a functionary of it. <br />
