This was impressive, and I’m pretty shocked that no one got to use the All Articles list to check more.

Basically, you go to explore, then Special Pages, click on All Pages, and then search for the name “How to”. They are basically failing under the title policy and the issue has to be fixed. I had to also tag some articles via my work.

But if you are confused, the ones in italic are redirected, the ones that seem normal are still up.

Here’s an example:

If you want to just simply explore it here, I have it at this link: https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=How+to+draw+Long+beard+in+4+steps+tutorial

I hope more people can see this topic to make wikiHow a learning tool!

You can also select the “Hide redirects” checkmark to remove all of the redirects from the results. Then, only the articles that need their titles changed will come up.

Good catch! That’ll allow us to check the articles more. (one note, due to the short count of the articles, you will see articles that don’t have “How to” after How to: Fit in if Your Two Best Friends Are Dating Each Other .

We were talking about how to find articles who’s titles started with “How to How to”.

Special note: Try to search articles that don’t make sense when How To is used. Try using “What”, “Easy”, “Good”, Where, and if you can see it, you can NFD an article if it has the word with and then mentions a less-used product (AKA Make Videos with wikiHow editor)

Ok. I’ve went through and retitled as many as I could - leaving only one behind that might certainly get deleted soon. There was only one I ended up merging - redirecting the title in the process. But I’d thought I’d drop a line here.
