“Easy to discover new things to learn”

A P.
2/5/20

I noticed wikiHow's website got updated, and the homepage shows new articles, things that are trending, etc. It's become a favorite place to find inspiration for learning new things daily. Also, try the special random button! It gives you fun (and sometimes funny) new guides to try.

“We Need To Talk...”

Jo M.
2/9/20

Half of the time, this is a good site, good info. However, there is an article about how to guilt-trip someone and another one about convincing your boyfriend to have sex. Some articles show kids how to sweet-talk their teacher out of giving them detention. Some even encourage children to convince their parents that they are bad parents or don't love them if they don't give them what they want. Many articles send bad messages.

I recently used wikiHow to get through a breakup, and really felt like I wasn't alone. It's a great site with quick tips you can try right away, and longer steps you can go through at your own pace. I really like that they have quotes from experts too... it's so helpful to know the research and expertise behind the tips. I'm now starting to come to wikiHow for everything, and I can't believe that they really do have every topic you could ever need!

I really love wikiHow. I find if I have a question wikiHow always has an answer. The articles are all very well written with lots of different methods - so I can get a lot of different ideas on how to solve a problem. I also like that I can ask questions on articles and get answers. Overall a great website!

I have come across this site haphazardly on occasion, but I never realized how all encompassing it is! How to do... just about ANYTHING you can think of! And in a way that is UNDERSTANDABLE! I can't believe there are negative reviews! YES there are answers to simple questions. They are needed. BUT there are instructions on how to begin speaking a foreign language and other more complicated answers also!

I mostly use wikiHow for cooking and home improvement tasks. The site does a good job of making technical processes feel easy understand using different forms of media without sacrificing specificity or completeness. One of the articles I've come back to multiple times is about how to tie a tie, and it's been cool to see the changes the page has undergone since the first time I visited it - it now has multiple methods and each step has a detailed illustration with annotations. I appreciate that the wiki format allows wikiHow to get better over time.

Coming at this from a reader's perspective. WikiHow's become my go-to because of how empathetic and authentic the site is, especially in such a clickbait-y world. It's apparent that wikiHow is a place where people care to help each other.

Overall, I feel like I'm asking a friend for their advice or their personal experience with the security of knowing that a lot of the articles are verified by experts or tested by real people. I really appreciate that a lot of the solutions range from simple and straightforward to a little quirky to pretty complex and niche. It's a great mix of helpful, authentic, and trustworthy, and makes everything that much more accessible.

WikiHow is a super helpful site that I love visiting. The content is always well written, comprehensive, and I've noticed it is quite often reviewed by experts. I love that there are often multiple suggestions for how to get something done. This is helpful if one of the suggestions doesn't work for my own personal case. I also love the question and answer section. There is always great information to be found there.

Whenever I want to learn how to do anything, I turn to wikiHow first. WikiHow seems to cover every topic and cover it well. I've used them for countless things, and I've found all their advice to be reliable, accurate, and easy to follow. Plus I love their illustrations and short videos!

I found that wikihow is not only better at explaining how to do things step by step, the site itself is much more user-friendly than most others. Not a bunch of ads bogging down load time and pushing content down. There is not much you can't find on wikihow. If not, Youtube probably has it.

This is the best site on the web to learn how to do something. Articles are helpful, accurate, comprehensive and formatted in an easy to follow step-by-step format. Because so many people edit wikiHow, the articles become very authoritative.
