In mid-2012 the majority of Wikitravel's English language version community, including most of the administrators, sought to reunite the Wikitravel and Wikivoyage communities under a new non-commercial project. They approached the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] to explore their interest in hosting, which sparked a successful [[Meta:Travel Guide|travel guide proposal]] that was approved by the WMF in October 2012.
Pada pertengahan 2012 mayoritas komunitas Wikitravel bahasa Inggris, termasuk sebagian besar pengurus, berusaha untuk menyatukan komuniyas Wikitravel dan Wikivoyage di bawah sebuah proyek non-komersial yang baru. Mereka mendekati [[Wikimedia Foundation]] untuk mengeksplorasi keinginan mereka dalam penyimpanan data, yang memicu sukses [[Meta:Travel Guide|proposal panduan wisata]] yang disetujui oleh WMF pada bulan Oktober 2012.
==History==
[[Image:Wikivoyage.jpg|280px|thumb|Screenshot of Wikivoyage's portal before the WMF migration.]]
Wikivoyage's history dates back to October 7, 2004 when many of its authors and administrators pressed ahead with building up the German branch of [[Wikitravel]], in particular with respect to the German language. This was driven by disappointment when the acquisition of ''wikitravel.org'' by ''[[Internet Brands]]'', an operator of media and e-commerce sites, was announced on April 20, 2006.<ref>[http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=27587&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=845378 corporate-ir.net]</ref> Additional discontent with the management style of the project led to the decision by most German administrators and authors to continue the project as a ''[[Fork (software development)|fork]]''.
After half a year of preparation, the non-profit association Wikivoyage e.V. was founded and registered. It is both the owner of the domain names and operator of the server.<ref>see the [http://www.wikivoyage.org/assoc/Satzung bylaws] of the Wikivoyage association</ref> On December 10, 2006, the project went online with the database taken over from the German-language ''Wikitravel''. After seven months 40% of the articles were new, rising to 50% after 10 months.<ref>[http://www.wikivoyage.org/de/Spezial:Statistik Wikivoyage statistics page]</ref> At this stage there were still some major gaps in the coverage, but there were several articles for travel destinations like [[Egypt]], [[Thailand]] and [[Switzerland]] and for the travel topic [[Cycling]].<ref>The article distribution of Wikivoyage can be seen on a [http://www.wikivoyage.org/w/de/index.php?title=Spezial:LdbListSubLocs/Welt&mode=stat special page]</ref>
The Italian branch of Wikivoyage was launched on December 10, 2007. The organisation of media data and the administration of user access were already applicable for use in branches in other languages.
The project had already been a topic of news reports, particularly in the Swiss radio and press. The [[Tages-Anzeiger]]<ref>Roger Zedi: ''Eine Sammelstelle für praktisches Reise-Wissen'', in: Tages-Anzeiger from January 20, 2007, page 60</ref> from Zurich as well as the Swiss radio station [[SRG SSR idée suisse|DRS1]] reported broadly about the project without concealing the still existing weaknesses.<ref>Daniela Huwyler: ''AllerWeltsGeschichte / Heute aktuell'', DRS 1, February 21, 2007, 15:45 o'clock (local time)</ref> The project is mainly supported by German and Swiss authors.
===Migration to the Wikimedia Foundation=== ▼In 2012, after a lengthy history of dissatisfaction with [[Wikitravel|Wikitravel's]] host and owner ''[[Internet Brands]]'', it was proposed that the community at WikiTravel fork their work from ''Wikitravel'' and ''Wikitravel Shared'' and - together with the existing sites at Wikivoyage - merge to create a new travel wiki to be hosted by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], the owner of [[Wikipedia]] and a large range of other [[non-profit]] reference sites based upon a [[wiki community]] culture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Travel_Guide |title=Travel Guide |publisher=Wikimedia Meta wiki |date= |accessdate=2012-11-09}}</ref><ref>[http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Travel_Guide&oldid=4064419], Travel Guide proposal on Wikimedia meta-wiki(Revision as of 20:12, 24 August 2012)</ref><ref>[http://www.wikivoyage.org/w/general/index.php?title=Migration_FAQ&oldid=12931], Wikivoyage Migration FAQ (Revision as of 23:15, 26 August 2012)</ref> After lengthy discussion by users of all three communities and comments by their respective hosts, and confirmation by the Wikimedia Foundation that it would host a travel project if users wished, the majority of administrators and bureaucrats at Wikitravel decided to fork their existing work to Wikivoyage.<ref>[http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Wikitravel:Travellers%27_pub&oldid=1914778], Discussions (towards the bottom) on Wikitravel's Travellers' Pub regarding the migration to Wikimedia/Wikivoyage (Revision as of 01:16, 26 August 2012)</ref>
The contents of Wikitravel and its related 'Commons' (images, video and other media files) in all languages and of Wikitravel Commons were downloaded as a 'database dump' in preparation for such a migration on August 2, 2012 and as the starting point for the existing wiki. Forking is a normal or anticipated activity in wiki communities and is permitted by the Creative Commons license in use on sites such as WikiTravel; [[MediaWiki|the wiki software used for WikiTravel]] included that facility, although Internet Brands disabled the function shortly after this date to forestall the attempt at data migration or forking. The community discussion at Wikimedia ended 23 August 2012 with 540 votes in support and 152 votes in opposition of the creation of a Wikimedia Foundation travel guide project.<ref>[https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_comment/Travel_Guide&oldid=4059415] Request for Comment on the Travel Guide proposal at Wikimedia meta-wiki, version at time that discussion ended</ref> Matters related to the double migration are still in progress as at October 2012.
As part of the migration, it is planned that current owners and user body "Wikivoyage e.V." will remain in place as an associated organization affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation "at an organizational level". Wikivoyage stated that, freed of the need to maintain its servers, it would be able to benefit by increasing its work related to outreach, community support, discussion and information, and technical enhancements to the site's software.<ref>[http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikivoyage&oldid=4326621 Wikimedia.org website 25 October 2012]: states ''"In preparation of Wikivoyage becoming part of the new Wikimedia travel guide..."'' and ''"Wikivoyage e.V. plans to hand over its domain and the responsibility for operating the Wikivoyage project to the Wikimedia Foundation. A corresponding resolution has been made by the general assembly in June 2012. Part of this resolution is the goal to keep Wikivoyage as an association, becoming affiliated with Wikimedia on an organizational level."''</ref><ref>See also [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikivoyage-l Wikivoyage mailing list] by Wikimedia Foundation] as at 25 October 2012: "The mailing list for Wikivoyage, a planned Wikimedia project"</ref>
In September 2012 Internet Brands filed [[litigation]] against two Wikitravel administrators it accused of trademark breach and commercial misconduct in the proposals affecting that site, with the defendants and Wikimedia rejecting the case as an example of a [[SLAPP]] lawsuit - one undertaken without plausible legal grounds with a primary intent being to deter, overwhelm, or frustrate persons engaged in fully lawful actions.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cohen |first=Noam |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/business/media/once-a-profit-dream-wikitravel-now-bedevils-owner.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 |title=Wikitravel, Once a Profit Dream, Now Bedevils Its Owner |publisher=[[New York Times]] |date=2012-09-09 |accessdate=2012-11-09}}</ref>
==Organisation and operation==
===Mode of operation===
Wikivoyage uses the same free [[MediaWiki]] software used by Wikipedia in order to allow an internet based use without registration for non-contributing users. The quality assurance occurs in the same way as on Wikipedia, through reciprocal control by users. The use of the same software is intended to facilitate familiarisation with Wikivoyage.
===License===
Wikivoyage uses the [[Creative Commons|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]] license but not the [[GNU Free Documentation License]]. This is intended to facilitate the production of printed guides from a legal point of view. Media files are intended to be published either in the public domain or under multiple licenses (GNU, Creative Commons).
===Information structure===
The information is built up in a more structured way than usual for encyclopaedias. Articles belonging to a topic are grouped by the ''categories'' known from the Mediawiki software as well as through the so-called ''[[Breadcrumb (navigation)|bread crumb trails]]'' which show the geographical connection between the articles.
Different name spaces are used to separate different topics. The main name space contains travel destinations within their geographical hierarchy. Two other important name spaces are reserved for ''travel topics'' and ''travel news'', with the intent to allow a tight interconnection between travel destinations and topics.
The content design is decided by consensus of the community of authors, and not the association.
===Languages===
The content of Wikivoyage is available in [[German language|German]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Russian language|Russian]], and [[Swedish language|Swedish]] languages.
==Distribution==
A distribution through mirrors or by other means of modern media is licit and also desired. For this purpose, up-to-date archives are provided on a weekly basis. The files contained in these archives are provided with all the necessary legal licensing information, e.g. the attribution of the authors. A technical extension related to the program concerning the mentioning of the image authors is in preparation.
The choice of the [[Creative Commons|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]] license is intended to allow simplified distribution by mention of the authors without the need to state the complete license text.
