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. | ||
