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. >>

Jay you seem to be under the assumption that Wikia is a sister.
It might be more appropriate to call Wikia your father's new wife or 
your first cousin from that part of your family that your family 
doesn't talk to anymore.

As far as wiki.howto.com being called a "penis enlargement" site that's 
pretty offensive isn't it?  What's the point of that sort of rant? The 
front page of it, has links to I suppose recommended articles and none 
of them are about penis enlargement.
