Welcome to the wiki

littledots is a placesmall 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 littledots team writes the Documentation shelf. Members write and edit everything else, starting with Guidebooks.

    Anything in Documentation is read-only for everyone except the team. Everything else is community-curated. Members can add books, write pages, edit each other's work. Unauthenticated visitors only see Documentation. 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

Don't delete unless you're goingreplacing. with.If Thisa bookpassage 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 forwelcome. 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.
