Did you know that wikiHow has orphan articles? They're articles that do not link to other articles. One way to help improve wikiHow is to pick out an orphan and add links!

Life Outside wikiHow
Hi there! I'm currently a student taking the IBDP. Being a student, I won't be on wikiHow often. Do feel free to post a message, it's just that I might not be able to get back immediately.
Subjects I'm Taking
In the IBDP, one gets to choose six subjects to study from - three at a higher level (HL) and three at a standard level (SL). I chose to take Mathematics HL, Physics HL, English A Language & Literature HL, Chinese SL, Economics SL, and Music SL.
I might have opted for Further Mathematics or Computer Science but unfortunately (fortunately!) they weren't offered in my school. Choosing one of those would also mean replacing Music or Physics, something which I'm reluctant to do. Naturally, I'm hoping that I could bounce some of the knowledge I gain at school into wikiHow.
Besides School
- Programming. Fun, fun stuff. I kicked off my programming side by taking KhanAcademy's hour of code. Since then, I've taught myself C++, Python, and Bash from online tutorials. I've used my new found skills to help my school develop an embedded system. Currently, I'm learning Haskell (more fun stuff!) and I'm liking it. I'm also making some games. Look forward to seeing them up here. :-)
- Reading. Just sticking a nose in a book suffices to forget any bad memories I may have. Currently I'm reading Bernard Cornwell's *the Grail Quest* series. It's fairly action packed.
- Minesweeper. Also (for me, at least) a decent way to take my mind off my troubles. (I haven't played minesweeper for 2 years now but I shall never forget those moments of seeing a smiley face...)
Meet a Community Member
Meet Iris8989, a wikiHowian of over 5 years. She enjoys patrolling recent changes, editing, writing articles and welcoming new contributors.
Why they contribute to wikiHow:
"I love contributing to wikiHow because it is such a welcoming community! The wikiHow system is pretty easy to navigate. I like editing articles to polish them and to improve them. Furthermore, there are always enough wikiHow articles to edit, so I don't get bored of it! If I can't find an article, I can always write one, and others can improve it as well, which is good teamwork."
Their advice to new editors:
"Don't worry if you make a mistake! Other websites might expect you to know a bunch of complex rules, but wikiHow is not like that. You can always ask the users on here or the admins for help! A good way to start is by categorizing articles. Then, if you get the hang of it, you can try other tools like patrolling changes, editing, and writing new articles. In the future, these skills will help you grow as a contributor. Soon enough, you might become a featured author, welcomer, booster, or even an admin!"
