wikiHow:Community Portal

wikiHow needs your help to help build the world's largest how-to manual. As of this minute we have 35,130 how to articles, but you can help us to create many more.

The wikiHow Tour is a great place to learn everything you need to know to get started.

We need volunteer editors to write new articles and to manage, edit and patrol our existing content. On a project of this size, there is always much to be done. This page contains links to areas of wikiHow that need your help. Anyone, including you can do any of the tasks listed here. If you need help, feel free to ask any of the help team or admins, almost all of whom are volunteers just like you.

• Edit articles in need of copyediting.
• Convert pages to wikiHow format.
• Check out existing pages, or choose a random page, and edit and improve the article.
