[edit] Introduction
Our manual of style hasn't got a beginning and an end. You can start reading everywhere. This article gives you review of all articles. The following section provides a list of some recommended starting points.
[edit] Specifications of articles
All articles on Wikivoyage should have a consistent layout. That's why we recommend our Specifications of articles warmly to you.
[edit] Geographical hierarchy
It's good to know how we divide the world up. The article about the Geographical hierarchy provides this information. Articles that don't fit in our geographical hierarchy are described in Other ways of seeing travel.
[edit] What information gets an own article?
Not every information get's an own article. What is an article? is a guidline about creating new articles. Especially Wikipedians should read it.
[edit] Printable articles
Although Wikivoyage is an internet-project, we want to have our articles printed in the future. You should think about the Neutrality of medium when you write an article.
[edit] Content
Wikivoyage is a travel guide not an encyclopedia. We limit our content to information about travelling. According to our experience Wikipedians forget this restriction occasionally.
[edit] Images
Wikivoyage isn't a photo gallery. We use Images in articles sparingly.
