'''Wikitravel – ''The Free Travel Guide''''' (originally stylised '''WikiTravel''') — is a [[:Category:Travel guide|travel guide]] in a [[wiki]] format, founded in [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]] by [[Evan Prodromou]] and Michelle Anne Jenkins.  Now owned by {{tag|Internet Brands|Internet Brands, Inc.}} (IB), it is an [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]]-supported ([[:Category:GoogleAds|Google Ads]] and Adtrue) free, [[:Category:Earth|world-wide]] [[:Category:Travel|travel]] guide in twenty-one (21) different [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]].  The [[What is a Wiki|wiki sites]] have several thousand destination guides and other articles written and edited by [https://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Wikitravellers 'Wikitravellers'] from around the [[:Category:Global|globe]] (some of whom just sit at home describing what's good about their surroundings).  [[:Category:Wikitravel|Wikitravel]] wiki sites previously supported the [[:Category:OpenID|OpenID]] universal log-in until the March 2013 software upgrade.  The individual language projects do not support {{Mw|Extension:CentralAuth|CentralAuth}}, so [[editor]]s must register for each wiki site individually, as well as [[Wikitravel Shared]], the multilingual media repository for the project.

One of the more interesting [https://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Goals_and_non-goals project goals] is to create destination guides which are useful as printouts, i.e., <u>not</u> always linking to sub-pages (or separate [[article]] pages), but distilling the most useful information about each travel destination on to one single article.  For a good example, see the 'destination of the month' on the [[Wikitravel (en)|English Wikitravel]] [https://wikitravel.org/en/Main_Page main page].
