I understand that this is an experiment to increase readership, but honestly, if I saw this on any other website, I’d trust that website no more.
Like, right, I understand that this could improve readership, but now the title just makes wikiHow lose the remaining trust that people have in wikis from the beginning. I’m not questioning the article – just this title. I don’t know, but I definitely value wikiHow’s reputation over readership.

I can’t get Google results (or the article) to display that way while logged in or through incognito mode.
What search phrase did you use and what search engine are you using?

I was on Bing. Was just seeing how the titles would show.
All I typed was “How to use spotify”

It looks like the search result displays normally immediately below the screen shot you took.
Not sure why it’s displaying the other way above it… could be a Bing thing (I didn’t realize anyone actually used Bing) or could be a test. Maybe @JayneG
knows?
(Hahaha, Bing’s my favorite.
)
I believe this was mentioned somewhere in a wikiHaus update. Not really sure.

Hiya @WikiaWang
- this is not something that is controlled on wikiHow’s end, it seems to be something that Bing is doing. If we could change it, we would because we agree it doesn’t look good!
