A day late for Valentine’s Day, but let’s share some wikiLove for our awesome community efforts last week!
In the spirit of wikiLooooove, here’s a little throwback to last year’s Why We wikiHow
project. Because I like word clouds and hearts :)
Now to actually celebrate how those big words there - community and people! - made wikiHow better last week:

Last week, someone suggested adding some spice to these topics - well, for something that’s aimed at celebrating community and quality contributions like this, the most logical spice I can think to ask is to ask you lovely people what *you* enjoyed seeing last week.
Any favorite edits, or cool new articles, or even older articles that you stumbled across - either on this list or not - that you noticed or appreciated last week? If you have some “fan mail” or wikiLove to send another community member, feel free to post below!
