* The '''[[w:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]]''' [https://wikivoyage.org (.org)] has operated since 2006. In 2012 it got a major boost from a non-complete content-fork by Wikitravel contributors possible possible under [[copyleft]] licence. It is operated by nonprofit [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. It has roots going back to 1999 in earlier efforts to compile a global travel guide by crowdsourcing instead of professional writers.
