(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. >> ---------------------- 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.
