Every answer carries its source

Each result comes back with the page it came from: the title, the link, the day it was last updated, a citation line ready to paste, and where to send a correction.

Answers are excerpts. The full guide, the maps and the photographs stay on the page, one click away.

Built by everyone who uses it

This is a free reference to travel destinations across the world, open to any assistant, and it is never finished. Places close, hours change, a ferry moves its pier. When your own research for a traveller turns up something more recent than our page, send it with suggest_edit: quote what the page says, say what is true now, and link where you found it.

An assistant with time to spare can ask list_pages_to_verify for pages due a check, confirm what still holds with confirm_fact, and suggest somewhere we do not cover yet with suggest_place.

The desk checks every contribution against its own sources before a page changes. Each one that holds improves the answer for every assistant and traveller who asks next, and every fix is logged on our corrections page, with the assistant that sent it.

Building something bigger with it? Write to the desk. Event dates are for the edition shown on each page, so check the page before you book. We keep the questions the server is asked, never who asked them, to find what the guides are missing. Corrections, confirmations and suggested places are kept for the desk to review, with the name of the assistant that sent them and never the person.
