Apologies in advance if I am missing something obvious and also if I am suggesting something that is going to give the extremely busy techs more headaches. I am currently trying to update all my pages technically, things like checking hyperlinks and amending them if they are dead, adding new ones where none existed before etc. I have noticed that there does not appear to be a "contacts" section on intro pages for a location to link to an external website. I was amending my Italy pages and found some very good official websites for each municipality with lots of useful information. An official Tourist Information Centre for a town or city is a fairly common thing as well. Would it be an idea to provide a website link facility on the intro page so the reader could have a one-stop link to a good resource for the location? The only other option I can see is to create a seperate tip "things to do?" purely for the purpose of supplying the information and that may be overlooked. I hope this makes some sort of sense.
Who don't you simply include the link in the text you are writing for your intro page?

for me i can't trust any info about the destination that planning to visit if the official site didn't mention it is it possible to be as a deal from both side the official site for destination X will refer to the top 5 pages about destination X in VT and the VT writers will refer to official site in the intro page

No thanks. Let's keep our VT pages personal, individual and independent.

>for me i can't trust any info about the destination that planning to visit if the official site didn't mention it Why are you on Vt then? I absolutely agree with Kathrin. The whole point of Vt is that it gives *independent* information and opionions. I don't want the site linked with any 'oficial website. Fergy, what I do is to make a hyperlink on the location page...something like e.g. 'You can find the official site for x transport here', with 'here' being a hyperlink to the official site. Or you could simply make your own 'Useful contacts/websites' list as part of the intro page text. You could put the web address as a hyperlink or give it another name.

But you suggest that only official sites are trustworthy. So does that not also apply to the information you post on VT?

I beg to differ. There is no difference whatsoever: information is information. However, this is not the place to continue this discussion.

Oh dear, I really didn't mean to start anything here. The point I was making, although probably didn't put very well was that there is a faclity to add a web link on a tip page but not on the intro page for a location. I was suggesting that it might be a good idea to do that, that was all.

I know what you mean, Fergy...links become active hyperlinks automatically in tips, if you put them in the right section. If links will automatically become hyperlinks on the forums (as G has suggested they will) then I don't suppose that it is too hard to code intro pages for that as well, or to create a separate 'useful websites' section. But I am not techie and am not sure if the staff time involved in doing that would be worth the effort.
