[[Image:Howdoishotweb.jpg|thumb|wikiHow's article on how to [[How Do I Shot Web?|shot web]] has, unfortunately, been deleted several times.[http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Shot+Web][http://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Shot+web]  Guess we'll never know the secret.]]

[http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page wikiHow], the bastard child of [[Wikipedia]] and [[Yahoo Answers]], is a [[wiki]] whose alleged purpose is to provide reference style descriptions and instructions on how to do various things. However, its real aim is to confuse and mislead the good folk of the internet through bad, confusing or pointless advice and over complicated instructions. It is so far spectacularly successful, generally decreasing a reader's intelligence through the false pretense of wanting to educate, while offering gems like [http://www.wikihow.com/Breathe how to fucking breathe]. In fact, wikiHow does not actually contain any useful articles (all interesting or semi-useful entries get [[Criteria for Speedy Deletion|speedily deleted]]), but is rather full of [[obvious]] information like [http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-Cherries how to eat a cherry] or [http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Sandwich how to make a sandwich]. Hilariously, the site is run as a for-profit company, making it a business whose fortunes rely heavily on the volunteer work of thousands of well-meaning but clueless [[Retard|wikiHow users]] and a small handful of [[Slavery|underpaid employees]].

The [[1337|elite]] few who do know how to do such complex tasks as [http://www.wikihow.com/Ring-a-Doorbell ring a doorbell] write really nice articles about how to do it so that you (you, obviously being an uneducated fool deprived throughout life of even the simplest knowledge of human culture) will know too.

== History ==

wikiHow editing originally became popular [[At least 100 years ago|about 100 years ago]] (in wikiTime), when it became clear that the website was not going to create itself and was going to require a large amount of volunteer labor. Common games played were giving awards to people for making one or two nice articles, congratulating people for contributing [[vandalism]] to the site, and giving forum parties to people who had made a couple dozen edits.

One 20th July 2009, a bunch of [[b/|idiots]] decided to raid the religious part of wikihow and spam it with [[Mudkipz]] and [[Goatse]] in another [[fail|attempt]] [[I did it for the lulz|to restore their former glory]].

Never really attaining its goal of being a catalog of helpful step-by-step guides and how-to knowledge, wikiHow has settled into the only niches that its editors can fill; pointless bullshit, terrible [[Video games|video-game]] tips, and [[TOOW|random nonsense]] that nobody's ever going to need. So in addition to those invaluable guides on [http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-Cheese how to eat cheese], expect a lot of articles with titles such as "HOw 2 pWn teH n00bz in Halo LOLZ!" Oh wait... actually, there really are multiple articles on that.[http://www.wikihow.com/Pwn-Noobs-in-Halo-3][http://www.wikihow.com/Pwn-Noobs-on-Halo3-Online][http://www.wikihow.com/Own-Noobs-Easily-on-Halo-3]
