I was looking around wikiHow when I was curious about this: when you go to https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=wikiHow:Contribute&action=edit
it lets you create a new page of the already existing page: https://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Contribute
I think that this is bad because now you can delete special wikiHow pages. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because about half of wikiHow special pages can be hacked like this.

Even editing the page like you described won’t actually do anything — it won’t change the page content. Just one of those quirky things.
okay thanks for telling me that. Can you fix this page https://www.wikihow.com/Special:Charity
because it says wikiHow is in 17 languages but it is 18 languages. Thank you.

Is the Charity page still linked to from anywhere prominent? I’m not sure if we still point readers there.

in case she knows.
No need to take up engineering time to update that page, as Eric mentioned it’s not a page we point readers to. Thanks!

Okay, I just look around wikiHow special pages for hours to pass time and sometimes I will find a broken link or something wrong. I just wanted to point that out.
