= Intro =
For help on basic editing, check the [[:hitch:Help:Contents|Hitchwiki tutorial]], '''[[:w:Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing|how to edit articles]]''' and [[Help:Formatting|syntax]] (codes to format text). This platform uses [[:mw:Mediawiki|mediawiki]], the same software the [[:mw:Help:Contents|Wikipedia help pages]] have been written for.

Always feel free to leave a message on the [[project:Community Portal|portal page]] or one of the [{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers|group=sysop}} admins] talk pages.

==Add content==
We are happy when [[nomad]]s share their knowledge about traveling the world! To not get lost in technical stuff, we try to make it easy for you by creating [[Special:FormStart|forms]]. Please use them and [[project:Community portal#Another_form.3F|tell us]], if you want to add other types of content via forms!

For existing pages there is the '''edit''' button at the top and the recommended '''Edit with form''' link for [[Special:Forms|some types]] of pages. [[project:How to edit#Documentation and questions|Let us know]], if you are missing a field to enter valuable info.

=== [[:Category:Locations|Locations]] ===
You can add [[:Category:Location|locations]] using this [[Form:Location|form]]. When coordinates are defined it will appear on [https://traumschule.org/map this map].

To a add a [[:Category:Community|community]] (for example a mobile tribe), use [[Form:Community|this form]].

For [[:Category:City|cities]] the form is [[Form:City|here]] and for [[:Category:Country|countries]] [[Form:Country|here]]. If you encounter a new [[:Category:Transport company|transport company]] (e.g. for a [[bus]], [[train]], [[plane]]) use [[Form:Transport company|this form]].

==Table of Contents (TOC)==
{{TOC right}}
Use <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> to place the table of contents somewhere in your article, or <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> to suppress it. This section uses <nowiki>{{TOC right}}</nowiki> to show it on the right.

==Categories==
To learn about the structure of [[Special:Categories|categories in Nomadwiki]] start [[:Category:Browse|browsing here]].

Add a Category to your article with <nowiki>[[Category:NAME]]</nowiki> {{small|(except for cities, countries and locations, see below).}} A link to a category is added with a leading colon: <nowiki>[[:Category:NAME]]</nowiki>.

That's it, you made it through the intro!
