Welcome, and a few pointers
[edit]
Hello HJGN2! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Thanks very much for adding information about places in Panama! We all know from our previous experience when we were new users that there is a learning curve to Wikivoyage. So in that spirit, in addition to the points above, please don't change standard subheadings like "Get in" in Wikivoyage:Article templates or add external links or citations sections (those violate Wikivoyage:External links and aren't in keeping with the site's style). The best way to cite sources is in edit summaries, or you can post something on the article's talk page.
Please carry on! I'm glad to have you here.
All the best,

- Please stop re-adding a "Reference" section. Such a section violates Wikivoyage:External links, and edit warring also is not tolerated on this site. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:07, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
