-== Description ==
+'''Geohashing Wiki''' is a [[wiki]] for the geohashing (or geo hashing) community.  It is based on the [http://XKCD.com/426/ xkcd web comic], not to be confused with a different kind of [[Wikipedia:Geohash|geohash]], and is a Spontaneous Adventure Generator.
-Geohashing (based on [http://xkcd.com/426/ this web comic], not to be confused with a different kind of [[Wikipedia:Geohash|geohash]]) is a Spontaneous Adventure Generator.
+;''Geohashing - basic rules
+Geohashing is a spontaneous {{tag|adventure game}} with the goal to visit random {{tag|locations}}.  It was invented by Randall Munroe from Boston, {{tag|Massachusetts}}, author of the successful internet comic <tt>www.xkcd.com</tt>.
+How it works: Every day, {{tag|Geography|geographical}} coordinates are generated by combining the date and the current {{tag|New York}} Stock Exchange's Dow Jones value.  These coordinates are randomly placed in a rectangle the size of one degree latitude by one degree longitude (about 69 miles by 50-60 miles in the U.S.).  The players' task is to visit these coordinates (which are accurate to about 10 square feet) on the same day and prove this (with a photo) to gain points.
+Extra points are awarded for achievements such as: {{tag|Bicycling|biking}} a long way to reach the coordinates, wearing formal attire, or reaching the coordinates at certain times of day (sunrise, midnight).
