Wikitravel vs Wikivoyage

Wikitravel is basically dead, and all users migrated to to Wikivoyage now.

www.Wikivoyage.org is the site now. And officially endorsed, etc and very active.

mates--just read up on the controversy on the site of the two that actually has info about it--wikivoyage. it is actually integrated into the wiki community, whereas wikitravel is for-profit. i'll pick the former any day of the week.

oh, and why believe the propaganda of one over the other? pretty easy...IB "removes any links to or mention of Wikivoyage from any discussion pages on their Wikitravel site."

"In 2003 a website called Wikitravel was launched, which sought to allow travellers and others to share travel information freely. In 2006 the site was bought by a company named Internet Brands (IB), a commercial for-profit organisation. Following the acquisition by IB, members from both the German and Italian language sites left, forming a separate site named Wikivoyage. That is to say, they copied the freely-licensed content across from Wikitravel to the newly-formed Wikivoyage, where it was edited and altered independently.

The communities of other language sites continued at Wikitravel until late 2012, when most of the active English community (along with other language versions) also chose to leave Wikitravel, with the goal of establishing a new site. Their major concerns were excessive monetisation of the site (a plan to put links to a booking engine on every page was one example) and the poor and worsening technical support offered by the site's owners (an out-of-date software version and slow server response, for example). In the process of creating the new site, other issues were addressed: merging with the existing Wikivoyage joining the larger community at the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), a non-profit, charitable organisation which runs many wikis including Wikipedia."

sorry. had to revive my old reddit acct to chime in on this old-ass post.

Omg, I've been using wikitravel all this time. Thanks for posting this!

Wikitravel all the way. Sorry, but when you're looking for recent crowdsourced content, you want the popular site, because it gets more editors. That is why Google loves Wikitravel and ignores Wikivoyage. I think I'll go with Google ;)

I'm not going to use "Fred's Wikipedia" either. I'm going to use freaking Wikipedia Wikipedia. Same reason. I'm also not visiting "Ethel's Reddit," btw. No offense to Ethel...
