What is Wikihow?

wikiHow is one of the only sites on the Internet where anyone can learn how to do LITERALLY ANYTHING. It’s considered the world's largest how-to manual, and since it’s a wiki website (like Wikipedia), anyone can edit articles. Their community members are sometimes called “knowledge philanthropists” because their goal is to help people learn on every possible subject, and when someone makes an edit, they have people in the community come together to make sure the edits are quality. They also get the experts to review the articles and make sure they’re actually helpful. Because there’s so much information, it can be easy to fall into a rabbit hole. If you’re looking for something that they don’t have, you can put in a request for it to be written.

You can also ask Alexa or Google how to do things, and they’ll usually give you a wikiHow article.

"I have no idea how to change this flat tire."
"How do I lose 10 pounds in time for summer?"
"When can I tell if this pasta is totally cooked?"
"How do I know if I'm registered to vote?"

"Check wikiHow."

Wikihow - what is it?

Unlike its predecessor and unfriendlier Wikipedia, it's the WORLDS LARGEST COLLABORATIVE HOW-TO MANUAL that anyone can edit. Many people come together as a global community of volunteers to help contribute daily. Any patrolling/editing/new article boosting you do speaks volumes to the community.

Example 1: "Oh dude, some nasty language in that edit, I'm gonna roll back changes to the last good edit."

Example 2: "I see a ton of spelling/grammar/punctuation/sentence structure mistakes in this article, im going to go ahead and press the edit button on this article now to enlighten them, then perhaps it will even have the chance at becoming a featured article! Horray!"

Example 3: "Did you see my wikiHow about How to be a Goth?" "No, but you should read my article on How to be Preppy instead."

What does "Wikihow" mean?

WikiHow, a wasteland that fills you with information you don't actually NEED, you look on it even though you know how to everything, but if you're a newborn baby and you need to know how the world works, try WikiHow.

WikiHow told me how to breed Syrian Hamsters!

Wikihow - what does it mean?

A website that has poorly understanding article creators who don't really write the help properly, so it comes out really fucking funny. It's 80% recommended that you DON'T take these articles to the test.

wikiHow: How to get over an anime addiction!
Me: Instruction's unclear, I got friend-zoned and got depression.

Wikihow - meaning

It's basically the how-to-guide equivalent of BuzzFeed. The how-to's are often very formulaic and dumbed down, as if anything can be simplified down to 10 short steps. And most of the tips and tricks they give are common sense. They also have some of the most stupid and pointless how-to's which merely serves more as humor than anything. It's all just fast food garbage that's easy to digest but gives little value in return.

Great for skimming the surface, but if you actually want to learn something, WikiHow is the LAST place you'd want to be looking at.

Me: Alexa, what are some tips to improve your home?
Alexa: According to the article on WikiHow-
Me: Alexa, unplug yourself.

Wikihow - slang

A collaborative how-to website which is written by completely random people. You can write and edit articles, even without logging in. The majority of its population are obviously 10 year olds who have no idea how to write. The owners of the website actually profit off of the volunteer work by WikiHow's users which is pretty messed up. The authors at WikiHow must think that everyone is a total idiot because the articles they write are designed retards that have no idea what they're doing. Vandals and trolls are common and will probably delete your article or replace its contents with something inappropriate if they come across it.

Typical WikiHow article: How to visit Google Search engine.

1. Open your internet browser.
*Click the Start button.
*Click All Programs.
*Select the menu item associated with your internet browser.
2. Type the Google url into your address bar (located at the top of the browser's window).
*Press G on your keyboard.
*Press O on your keyboard.
*Press O on your keyboard.
*Press G on your keyboard.
*Press L on your keyboard.
*Press E on your keyboard.
*Press the period button on your keyboard.
*Press C on your keyboard.
*Press O on your keyboard.
*Press M on your keyboard.
3. Load Google.
*Press Enter on your keyboard.

Wikihow

A stupid worthless website with pictures and it looks helpful but it is actually so dumb and useless because they are so obvious and probably made by kids 9-12 years old.

Yo, we already know this shit, so why do they keep saying Wikihow helps so freakin much. Wikihow says the things a seven year old would know.
