[[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] was initially created primarily by some [[:Category:Wiki People from Germany|German writers]] of the earlier [[:Category:Wikitravel|Wikitravel]] community (itself founded July [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]] in English as a private enterprise by [[Evan Prodromou]] and Michelle Anne Jenkins); after it was was acquired in [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] by [[:Category:Internet Brands|Internet Brands, Inc.]] for US$1.7 million,<ref name=NYTimes>[https://www. | [[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] was initially created primarily by some [[:Category:Wiki People from Germany|German writers]] of the earlier [[:Category:Wikitravel|Wikitravel]] community (itself founded July [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]] in English as a private enterprise by [[Evan Prodromou]] and Michelle Anne Jenkins); after it was was acquired in [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] by [[:Category:Internet Brands|Internet Brands, Inc.]] for US$1.7 million,<ref name=NYTimes>[https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/business/media/once-a-profit-dream-wikitravel-now-bedevils-owner.html Travel site built on wiki ethos now bedevils its owner]; ''www.NYTimes.com'', The New York Times; 10 September 2012; retrieved 6 May 2021.</ref> a [[:Category:Commercial|commercial]] 'for-profit' [[:Category:United States of America|American]] consumer [[:Category:Internet|internet]] [[:Category:Company|company]].

The {{WMF-Meta|Wikivoyage Association}} (''German:'' [http://wikivoyage-ev.org Wikivoyage e.V.]), created in [[:Category:Germany|Germany]] in 2006 as a [[:Category:Non-profit|non-profit]] organisation by [[Roland Unger]],[http://wikivoyage-association.org/wiki/Benutzer:RolandUnger] was set up to host all Wikivoyage wikis. Wikivoyage and Wikitravel wiki sites continued to co-exist, though the original Wikitravel project lost the major core of its productive writers to the newer Wikivoyage; this meant the quality of articles began to diversify; Wikivoyage articles continued to (slowly) improve professionally and factually, whilst Wikitravel articles deteriorated in quality and accuracy.<ref name=TechCrunch>[https://techcrunch.com/2012/09/29/lessons-from-the-dramatic-slow-motion-death-of-wikitravel/ Lessons from the dramatic slow-motion death of Wikiravel]; ''TechCrunch.com''; 29 September 2012; retrieved 28 April 2021.</ref> | ||

The driving force was to go back to basics of collaborative [[wiki]] writing, on a non-profit [[:Category:Education|educational]] basis, free of advertising; and to gain the extensive and long-established technical support, development, and backup provided by the WMF. The goal would be to import all existing Wikivoyage [[:Category:Wiki language|language]] wiki sites, [[user]]s, [[Sysop|admins]], and page content onto WMF servers; and also import and merge in any useful content from Wikitravel too (which is allowed under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported license as used by Wikitravel,<ref name=NYTimes/> but which Wikitravel was trying to prevent, and also initiated [[:Category:Law|legal]] action<ref>[https://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/2012/09/06/internet-brands-sues-people-for-forking-under-cc-by-sa/ Internet Brands sues people for forking under CC-BY-SA]; ''DavidGerard.co.uk''; 6 September 2012; retrieved 6 May 2021.</ref><ref>[https://gyrovague.com/2012/09/15/no-cheeseburger-for-you-a-look-at-the-internet-brands-v-wikitravel-volunteers-lawsuit/ No cheeseburger for you: A look at the Internet Brands v.

Discussions progressed, and during October 2012, {{Wvoyage|Wikivoyage:Migration to Wikimedia|Wikivoyage migrated}} the content of Wikitravel and Wikivoyage, along with all {{Wvoyage|Wikivoyage:User account migration|contributors}}, to the Wikimedia Foundation.<ref name=TechCrunch/> On 10 November 2012, the Wikivoyage project went live (as beta) on Wikimedia servers, and its content pages displayed the Wikimedia Foundation logo. On 15 January [[:Category:Founded in 2013|2013]], the WMF announced that all existing language versions of Wikivoyage had been formally launched onto Wikimedia servers, and [[Cambridge-Dictionary:incorporated|incorporated]] into the WMF.<ref>[https://gyrovague.com/2013/01/14/free-travel-guide-wikivoyage-comes-out-of-beta-and-is-already-kicking-ass/ Free travel guide Wikivoyage comes out of beta and is already kicking ass]; ''Gyrovague.com''; 14 January 2013; retrieved 28 April 2021.</ref> However, around that time period, the project was still in a {{Wvoyage|Wikivoyage:Cleanup|transition}} status, as most [https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Wikivoyage:Cleanup&oldid=2468200#Photo_hunt! images] had still to be moved from the former [[Wikivoyage Shared]] repositories to [[Wikimedia Commons]], and many links had to be manually fixed by the community.
