Getting started
- Each page of this wiki concerns a Point Of Interest (POI) somewhere in the world.
- Each POI is identified by a TITLE, its LONGITUDE and LATITUDE, and a detailed DESCRIPTION of what happened there and when.
Searching
- To search for individual POI entries, use the SEARCH BOX on the left of this page. You can search by keyword, latitude, or longitude.
- To search for groups/categories of POI entries, select the POI Group Search button on the left of this page.
Creating a POI entry
1) Search to see if an entry already exists for the POI. Try searching by keyword as well as by latitude and longitude.
2) If there is no existing entry for a POI, you can create one.
3) Enter the desired POI entry title into the search box and click on GO. (We suggest that titles be composed of the POI's Latitude, followed by the Longitude, and separated by a comma ",".)
4) Choose the option to "create this page."
5) Enter the POI information into the template provided. For additional help editing your new entry, click on "Editing help" at the bottom of the editing screen.
How to find a POI's Latitude and Longitude
