From Wikitravel

First time the Recent Changes turns over in less than 24 hours

First time the travelwiki server keels over under the strain of too many requests.

First specialised travelwiki search script created

First time a script has to be removed for rendering the database unusable...

First flamewar

First person to leave the project in a huff

LOL I'm not really serious... I see pleasing signs of contribution while I've been sick - I haven't been pushed off the Recent Changes table in three days, but it's getting close. I'll try to start contributing again now I'm not flat on my backKJ 20:21, 21 Aug 2003 (PDT)

Can I claim First Wikitravel Field Researcher title if I travel to the Deutsches Museum in Munich this week and write about it? ;-) Obviously nobody else has put a claim to that yet here, so... :-) --Nils 06:06, 22 Mar 2004 (EST)

[edit] 3000 articles !

The 3 languages projects together have more than 3000 articles ! Yann 05:47, 30 Jul 2004 (EDT)

[edit] 2500 articles

Chichester seems to be the 2500th article on the English Wikitravel — worth publicizing on the front page? Jpatokal 05:19, 23 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Yes! --Evan 14:01, 23 Sep 2004 (EDT)

[edit] An Other Milestone?

One of our Wikitravel:Milestones is the "First report of someone using Wikitravel article(s) for travel". See Talk:Taiwan#Thanx for the guide. Isn't that our milestone? -- Hansm 13:56, 2004 Sep 23 (EDT)

Now it is! Jpatokal 07:26, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT)

[edit] 4000 articles

If I am not mistaken, the English version has more than 4000 real articles (whatever real means ;-)) Sadly it wasn't me marking number 4000... Felix.

[edit] Factbookectomy

Swept in from the Pub:

Ahem.

As far as I can tell, there are no articles left in Wikitravel (not counting archives or reference copies) which consist entirely, primarily, or substantially of CIA World Factbook imports.

If you manage to find any, please plunge forward and fix it yourself.

I do have to say: de-factbooking the last few dozen remaining imports the past couple days was a rather interesting excursion through many tiny little islands, some vast swaths of Africa, and... how did Mexico manage to go so long without a full factbookectomy?

Congratulations! Here's a millstone milestone to wear around your neck. Would you happen to remember what was the last one? Jpatokal 05:03, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Breadcrumbs

Archived from the Pub:

Wikitravel:Milestones mentions getting all CIA factbook imports edited away. I think all the external links sections are gone. I've been hitting "random page" and finding breadcrumbless articles to fix, but that works poorly now; most articles have the navigation hierarchy breadcrumbs. Is there a way to search for all articles without breadcrumbs? Maybe we could fix them all and declare another milestone. Pashley 21:26, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

I think all the external links sections are gone - two left: Buying or renting a car in Australia#External links -&- Hitchhiking in Europe#External links ~ 203.144.143.5 05:43, 27 September 2006 (EDT)

I dont think we'll ever be completely breadcrumbed - people will always create articles and leave them without the isin, so it's probably not worth putting on the milestone page! Tim 17:51, 30 October 2006 (EST)

Just curious; why not put the isIn tag in the blank page template? --justfred 18:46, 30 October 2006 (EST)

I just did that for the blank region template because I was getting tired of writing it in myself. Hopefully not a problem! --Peterfitzgerald ^Talk 20:05, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] One million edits on en:

Not an "official" milestone, but it's interesting to note that the English Wikitravel surpassed 1,000,000 edits today. Jpatokal 08:32, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Who hit the milestone? Nrms 08:40, 4 November 2008 (EST)

I don't think there's any way to find out (at least after it happened), Special:Statistics just reports the total count. Jpatokal 04:33, 7 November 2008 (EST)
