Category:Articles containing how-to sections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category is for articles that contain how-to sections which may need to be edited to comply to the official policies, specifically to the subsection Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information point 4, quoted here:
- Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instruction - advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at Wikihow or our sister project Wikibooks.

[edit] Editing help needed
There is currently no consensus as to how the how-to articles should be edited. To-do lists may be replaced with great prose, or more simply, introduced in a way that reduces their how-to-ishness.
Please discuss the issue on the talk pages, so that good guidelines for editing can be established.
