What's so bad about encouraging howto
information? I'm sure that a lot
of people would find such practical information very useful.
Sure, it would be very useful, but it isn't within Wikipedia's scope.
Perhaps a new WikiHowTo project? (Several such projects already exist:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wikihowto Maybe no need for a new
Wikimedia one.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/template:howto {{howto}} DID contain links to
http://www.wikihow.com and
http://howto.wikia.com/ One is a sister project.
The other is more closely allied with google and penis enlargement product
comparisons. I also found either a performance or a connectivity difference.
In specific instances, like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha , both
could be in the external links. It seems that we are now recommending
wikiversity and wikibooks for training.
