User talk:OhanaUnited/Edits around the world challenge

Edit inclusion criteria
What is the earliest date that edits are accepted for the challenge? Also, creating a static Wikivoyage-style subnational map would definitely count, but what about adding a dynamic map to an article that doesn't already have one, but already has coordinates of multiple POIs?

 * Great questions. For earliest date, I would say any edits count because it's such a long list. But if you think you want to only count the edits from the date you sign up, that's up to you. As for adding a dynamic map, I think we should look for a bit more effort because it could easily be done by a bot. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * What about adding an image banner for a destination? Removing duplicate listings? JsfasdF252 (talk) 20:19, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm an idiot
OhanaUnited Every time I try to add my name to the table I break the table. (You wonder why I can push out a website but not handle a table, honestly ask myself the same question). Can you help me and add my username? Thanks, Brycehughes (talk) 08:37, 24 December 2023 (UTC)


 * No problem. Someone's getting a lump of coal tonight for trying to break a table ;) I've added your name. Just wondering if you turned on the visual editor (which is a WYSIWYG interface). It makes table editing a lot easier. OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Haha. Yeah I heard that and someone explained to me how to do it once. I wish there was a hot button where I could just turn it on quickly and then turn it off again (maybe there is one). Brycehughes (talk) 05:51, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * When you edit the table, do you see the button that says "edit" or "edit source"? OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "Edit source" only, and only at the top of the page and the section headers, nothing on the table itself (not sure if that was what you were referring too). Brycehughes (talk) 06:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. Depending in which skin you are currently using... Go to "preferences" by clicking on the button OR click on the "person" logo and click on the cog symbol that says "Preference". Then click on "Editing" tab and find "Editor" section. Tick the box that says "Enable the visual editor". Also, go to "Editing mode" with dropdown menu. Select "Show me both editor tabs". Click "Save" at the bottom of the page. Now you should have both options enabled and you can click on "edit" (not "edit source") to open the visual editor to perform WYSIWYG changes on tables and other formattings.

 * Ahh "Show me both editing tabs"! That was the key! Last time I turned on Visual Editor, as was stuck with it so turned it back off. This is great. Thanks so much for the help with this! Brycehughes (talk) 01:56, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Oceania
Thanks for coordinating this project! I am pretty sure I finished all the countries for Oceania. It was the smallest grouping so not sure what to work on next :D Tbennert (talk) 00:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Congrats! Award will be presented shortly. If you are looking for next easy-to-do group, South America is also quite easy to tackle. <b style="color: #0000FF;">OhanaUnited</b><b style="color: green;">Talk page</b> 05:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the recommendation! I've now got South America done.--Tbennert (talk) 14:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Are you up for an editing challenge?
Looking for motivation to edit outside of your comfort zone while having fun? I have created an editing challenge where participants aim to make at least one edit in every country in the world (or continent if you're looking for something quicker). The goal is to get editors to edit places that are normally outside of their typical areas and improving contents in areas that are often neglected or has outdated info. Barncompasses will be awarded for completion. You can sign up for this challenge on the tracking log. <b style="color: #0000FF;">OhanaUnited</b><b style="color: green;">Talk page</b> 18:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just want to bump this. This is great. Your timing though, OhanaUnited... the holidays? Brycehughes (talk) 08:56, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm planning to keep this a long-term challenge and open to anyone who wants to participate in the future. <b style="color: #0000FF;">OhanaUnited</b><b style="color: green;">Talk page</b> 19:37, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
