Welcome to the wiki

littledots is a small room online for people who treat travel as the point of life, not a break from it. Regular travelers who get excited about a window seat, who plan the next trip the moment they are back from one, who share where they have been with people who actually want to hear about it.

How this wiki works

Content here is grouped into shelves, books, and pages. A shelf holds books, which in turn hold pages. Most wikis (Wikipedia included) are a flat space of pages you reach by searching. Here, you can also browse top-down (open a shelf, pick a book, read its pages).

The wiki has two halves. The About the Wiki shelf (you're in it right now) is written by wolfi. The Guidebooks shelf is written and edited by members.

• About the Wiki is read-only for everyone.
• Guidebooks is community-curated. Members can add books, write pages, edit each other's work.
• Unauthenticated visitors only see About the Wiki. The rest is for signed-in members.

If you're signed in and you spot a typo, fix it. If you have something to add, add it. If you want to start a whole new book, start one.

Keep our home base tidy

A few things to keep in mind when you're editing:

• Edits should be improvements. Fix typos, clarify, expand where you have something to add. Don't edit just to leave a mark.
• Don't delete unless you're replacing. If a passage feels off, rewrite it. Don't just remove it. The person who wrote it had a reason.
• One topic per page. If a page starts sprawling, split it into a new page rather than letting it drift.
• Disagreements go in the discussion thread. Every page has one. Argue there, not in the page body.
• Recommend, don't promote. Sharing places you liked is welcome. Affiliate links, sponsored mentions, anything you'd profit from people clicking are not.
• No personal info about other members. Don't add their real names, photos, or things they haven't shared themselves.
