Editing content
Every page on the site can be improved. Fix a typo, update a description, add missing details — the site gets better with every edit.
The editor
Section titled “The editor”Route and event editors work the same way. You’ll see a form with the page’s current content. Make your changes, tap Save, and your edits go live after the next site rebuild.
Descriptions support Markdown formatting — headings, bold, italic, links, and lists. A formatting help link in the editor points to a quick reference.
Route tags help riders find what they’re looking for. The tag input suggests existing tags as you type, so the site stays consistent.
- Type a tag name and press Enter or comma to add it.
- Tap the x on a tag to remove it.
Use the tags that already exist when possible. Common tags include surface types, features, and difficulty indicators.
Translations
Section titled “Translations”The site supports English and French. In the route editor, you’ll see tabs at the top for each language.
- English is the default. Fill in the name, tagline, and description in English.
- French tab shows the same fields for the French translation. Leave blank if you don’t have a translation — the English version will be used.
Each language is saved independently. You can translate a route without affecting the English version, and vice versa.
Version history
Section titled “Version history”Below every editor, you’ll find the edit history — a list of every change made to that page, newest first.
Each entry shows:
- What was changed (the commit message)
- Who made the change
- When it happened
View a diff
Section titled “View a diff”Tap Diff on any history entry to see exactly what changed — additions, removals, and modifications displayed line by line. Tap Hide diff to collapse it.
Restore a previous version
Section titled “Restore a previous version”If an edit introduced a problem, tap Restore on the version you want to go back to. This creates a new edit that reverts the content to that point in time — the original edit stays in the history for transparency.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”When you save:
- The editor checks that required fields are filled in (like the route name).
- If someone else edited the same page since you opened it, you’ll see a conflict notice. Open the page in a new tab to see their changes, then try again.
- A confirmation message appears when the save succeeds. Your changes will be live within a few minutes.
All edits are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, the same license Wikipedia uses. A note at the bottom of the editor reminds you of this.
