== An Idea ==
+
= Feature proposals=
  
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.

You found a [[Hitchwiki:Bugs|bug]]?
  
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.

== All files are gone! ==
: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)

I now have seen, that a user https://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:Contributions/127.0.0.1 has deleted all files of this wiki. The date of action shows the wrong date 29 August 2013. My last edit with files was on 22 August 2018 with https://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=A39_(Germany)&diff=prev&oldid=91926 . Some files can be replaced with files from Wikimedia Commons, but on other names and individual files hadn't been uploaded there, specially those with identifyable persons. What happened? --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 12:05, 22 April 2021 (CEST)
  
== recent changes across all languages ==
 
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)
 
 
== Testers wanted for Android app ==
 
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)

== OAuth support plan ==
 
I noticed that hitchwiki has OAuth extenison installed which is listed on version page: http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:Version
 
But it seems has some configuration problems: http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:OAuthListConsumers
 
Does hitchwiki has any plan on supporting OAuth? --[[User:VcamX|VcamX]] ([[User talk:VcamX|talk]]) 07:29, 4 July 2015 (CEST)
 
: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)
 
::Thanks for your reply! I'm currently working as a member of Pywikibot team on making Pywikibot support OAuth. Pywikibot team would be very happy to run OAuth regression tests for Hitchwiki once it has OAuth working. (We could also offer help to set it up) --[[User:VcamX|VcamX]] ([[User talk:VcamX|talk]]) 17:50, 7 August 2015 (CEST)
 
 
== Stickers ==
 
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 ?
 
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
 
What do you think ?

:: Alright, I found the file [http://hitchwiki.org/en/File:Hw-sticker-7x7cm%2B2mm-bleed.jpg here] and mikael propose to ship some of them on [http://www.mikaelkorpela.fi/blog/who-wants-hitchwiki-stickers/ his blog]. --[[User:LowBat|LowBat]] ([[User talk:LowBat|talk]]) 03:49, 1 September 2015 (CEST)

==Linking user contributions to the User/User_talk pages ==
 
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)
 
 
== History merge? ==
 
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)
 
 
== Sign for a motorway ramp, where is no onramp ==
 
[[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)

== Dev questions ==
 
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)
 
 
== CAPTCHA bug ==
 
I can add an external link to an article, and never have to do a CAPTCHA.  But then, when I try to edit my user page, I have to do a CAPTCHA.  Every time I resubmit the form, it sends me back to the edit page asks me to do the CAPTCHA.  So I can't add external links to my user page at the moment.
