''"Oh, I just found out a really cool new spot in a funky city that has not been added to the hitchwiki yet... I want to do that! But how?"''
Anyone maybe feels like this someday, and after a minute he/she maybe thinks about '''how''' to begin with a new article.
===Well, it's easy: Just start! :)=== 
But to avoid a lot of editing and to make it all a bit nicer, maybe this guideline could be helpful:
* First, use the Search function. Maybe there is also an entry for you city. Attention: Maybe it has a different name in its language (e.g. [[Köln]] in ''German'' is [[Cologne]] in ''English'', etc.)! If not, fantastic! Just click on '''You can create this page!''' (Also, clicking on a <span style='color:red'>red link</span> will let you create a new page.
* Write some general information about the city. What's it's name, to which country does it belong, is it boring, fantastic, whatever. Have a look at [[Berlin]], [[Hannover]] or [[Hörstel]] to get some ideas about that! (Don't write too much, Wikipedia is the right place for the history, geography and such.)
* The hitching information! To have a common layout, most people try to write the articles in a style like this:
