Intros are, in my opinion, the heart of a wikiHow article. It describes for the reader what they’re about to read, and if the reader doesn’t like the intro, they often click away from the article. I know this is a huuge undertaking to tackle this backlog, but as a community, we’ve come together like this before. If we all work together, I feel like we can make a sizeable dent in this backlog. If you’re unsure how to write a great intro, this article should help: https://www.wikihow.com/Write-Introductions-in-wikiHow-Articles I went ahead and created a spreadsheet with a small amount of articles needing intro fixes, and that’s here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18wuWxKm-JVsDy6_aywjDcJtfUnthtXzhlECseQp5lxA . Some of these articles may not even need new intros, and some of them may need a stub/nfd/format/etc. tag. If this needs to happen, be sure to make a note of it. I truly hope you can help out! Even if you only do a few, it’ll make a big difference.

@XxVxX To add on to your comment, if you want to help find articles that need a new intro, just take a look at all the transclusions here:   https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Intro&hidelinks=1&hideredirs=1&limit=500

There are more than 500 articles transcluded on that page.  You can change the number of pages to work on by changing the limit parameter.

@Awesome-Aasim Yes! Thank you. In my opinion, a spreadsheet is a bit easier to work with, that’s why I made one.

I have changed the sharing settings, so now anyone can view and edit the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18wuWxKm-JVsDy6_aywjDcJtfUnthtXzhlECseQp5lxA

Hey there, just curious if you could at the very least make columns E and F editable? They’re locked from editing for whatever reason. Thanks very much!:slight_smile:

Ok! That’s weird, I’ll see what I can do.

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a computer to fix it at this time. I’m so sorry! Also, due to unrelated reasons, I’m going to need to take a loooong wikiBreak sadly.

This dates back to 2018, but @Anna was able to create a Google Spreadsheet of those (outside the realm of the first 32) needing fixing that she sent to several people requesting them - myself included. This category still hosts quite a lot more than what’s presented in this Sheet. However, a few people have been working on a few and more have been added and tweaked, making these old lists outdated too.
