Welcome!

Welcome to the AARoads Wiki!

This wiki is a specialist encyclopedia of roads articles written by your fellow roadgeeks, and we're glad you've decided to join us!

Now that you're here, we have a few important things to tell you about. Our main discussion page is The Interchange. This is where we make decisions about how this wiki functions. We have a Discord as well that you might want to join.

We have a cleanup page where you can learn more how we're improving the collection of imported articles for our use. You can also report technical errors related to the article import process on that page.

The rules of the road are really simple. In short, follow the golden rule and you'll be fine; we wouldn't want you to be cited for a moving violation. While contributing, please keep in mind that we currently focus our articles on highways in the United States and Canada, including state or provincial highways and major county roads. (To express interest in adding other countries, see AARoads:International). We have the Annex here for additional content, like the list of longest state highways in the United States.

Once again, welcome to the AARoads Wiki! We hope you enjoy it here! Imzadi 1979 → 11:09, 18 September 2023 (EDT)

User:Imzadi1979, thank you very much. I'm actually User:Morriswa on Wikipedia. I didn't realize that y'all were using the same usernames as on there. NewGirl4U (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2023 (EDT)

Welcome! Just so you know, ping doesn't work here just yet. --Rschen7754 23:16, 22 September 2023 (EDT)

Bluelinking

Hi, you do know that under Special:Preferences on the Gadgets tab there is a tool for bluelinking, right? --Rschen7754 12:05, 29 October 2023 (EDT)

Yes. I only just started using it. If there's any other good tips for editing on here, as opposed to Wikipedia, I would appreciate it. NewGirl4U (talk) 14:56, 29 October 2023 (EDT)

We do have the Discord running (link above), it is like IRC, except easier to use. --Rschen7754 15:33, 29 October 2023 (EDT)

I second the Discord invite. One tip I have is to not worry about maintenance templates for the time being. We're more concerned with bluelinking and upgrading the maps at the moment. Don't feel bad if the maps are over your head, I'm not having the best time with myself. –Fredddie™ 23:00, 29 October 2023 (EDT)

FYI you can do the whole page at once. The Bluelinker tool is smart enough to catch every instance of a specific link. –Fredddie™ 21:11, 30 October 2023 (EDT)
