Hey everyone! Just wanted to ask, what’s your favorite thing to do when you click on the “Community” button on the menu? My personal faves are RC Patrol, Guard Quality, Welcoming, and Adding Videos. I’d love to hear from all of ya, and see what are the least and most popular things to do. I’m suspecting RC Patrol as most…and Answering Requests as least?? Anyway, please post your opinion! Thanks!
I like to do RC Patrol, QC, Video Adder, Welcoming New Users, and the occasional categorize and adding images.
QC, Welcoming, RCPatrol, and when the NFD voting app comes out I’ll try that, too.
QC, RC patrol, welcoming newbies, and NAB.
Lemme see. . . Answer RequestsUh, no. Well, I enjoy it when I do it, but usually I’m too lazy to actually do it. Besides, it annoys me when I see an article I want to write, but it has a spelling error in it, so I write the usual way instead, and my “Contributions” box doesn’t count it.
Add ImagesThis is nice enough, but I can only do 5 - 12 images at a time, since I get frustrated quite easily when I can’t find the right image. Edit by TopicI’ve only done this once, but I enjoyed it when I did do it. I usually don’t use this because most of my edits are when I stumble across an article randomly. Patrol Recent ChangesFun! I only started using it pretty recently, though, and I prefer editing/writing articles, so my total count is pretty sad. Categorize ArticlesDitto to adding images. Format ArticlesI tried this once, but strangely enough it didn’t count this as a Contribution. Pretty much the same as editing by topic. Expand StubsI did this once, but I have *no* idea how to expand a stub on purchasing the rare Orange-Spotted Tangerine-Dwelling BananaShazama Lizard, so I think I’ll just stick to editing by topic. Guard QualityI like this, but I don’t patrol videos. Add VideosNever done this; I don’t like watching videos. Boost New ArticlesWhen I do this, I tend to do it rather thoroughly, so I don’t do it all that much, but I do it. Really, most of my contributions to wikiHow are in writing new articles and editing whatever article I happen across through reading through the site, voting on NFDs/etc, and RC patrol. However, my favorites are probably adding images, RC patrolling, guarding quality, and NABing.
Right now I’m working on Howcast stuff while FINISHING the NAB test.

- Just answer the request manually and have me or another admin fix the title.
I like doing RC Patrol, but Bunch Patrol especially. My favorite non-community-thing’s-to-do would probably be searching ‘horse’ and doing what I call ‘prettying them up’. In other words, adding images to the steps, adding intro image, fixing wording, and weaving links. I also like to write articles, take pictures for articles, and lots of other stuff…
Patrolling. It’s pretty much the only
thing I do on the Community Dashboard, along with occasional spin on the new “Edit by Topic”. http://forums.wikihow.com/discussion/1384/introducing-article-greenhouse-by-topic/#Item_21
