I don’t know if it’s just me or many people who are having difficulties with finding articles that needs formatting. I am continuously trying to access it, I’m changing my categories, only hoping that it appears. But, it just displays No articles found. Select more categories and try again.I’m changing it but it’s of no help. I would be very grateful if someone looks into this and confirm whether it’s a bug or not. Take a look at the edit finder here: http://www.wikihow.com/Special:EditFinder/Format
Hope to hear soon.
There’s a little bit of a lag between the dashboard widget and the actual number of articles with the {{format}} template. I don’t fully understand it, but I know that you can work on the remaining articles directly by editing them normally. You can find them here: http://www.wikihow.com/Category:Format
As you remove the templates, the number should go down in the widget. I know this isn’t a perfect solution, but I hope it helps!
I had the same problem with stubs^
^ Ditto on Formatter, and I haven’t used the app since September 2012.
