Welcome to the latest wikiHaus Lab update! Here’s what’s happening for May 29th:
What’s happening?New Quiz section on user pages. A new section has popped up on your User Page to show how many quizzes you’ve taken. Quizzes are a super popular feature on wikiHow, and these sorts of stats help encourage people to take more quizzes. They are automatically shown, but if you’d like to turn this off, you can do so in your Profile Box
settings.
What’s happening?The introduction of wikiPoints! The team is trialing some gamification within the quiz hub where people can earn wikiPoints to unlock different features such as wikiVibes and the Oracle. While it will start in a testing phase, if it proves successful it may also move into the Discussion Forums and potentially elsewhere. Let us know if you have any ideas for this feature!
What’s happening?The team is working on producing more quiz analyzers and generators, as these are doing really well. These use AI to help create an interactive and engaging experience for anyone using them.
You may have noticed:Tiagoroth created the most awesome of templates to show dates for over 60 holidays (even ones that change from year to year!). If you missed it, you can check out his announcement here
.
You may have noticed:wikiHow’s notification email address has changed. The team has updated the email address that Talk Page and other email notifications come from: instead of support@wikihow.com
, it’s now support@wikihow.co
. However, it seems that Gmail may think they’re promotional, so if you separate your inbox, you might need to retrain it to have those emails go to your main inbox!

SURVIVAL RESULT
You Survived For: 197 days
Your Grade: B-
Your Apocalypse Archetype: Cunning Strategist
Biggest Strength: Analytical problem-solving
Biggest Weakness: Emotional detachment
Cause of Death: Overwhelmed by a horde while scouting for supplies
You possess a razor-sharp mind for strategy, adept at mapping out resources and securing shelter by any means necessary. Your habit of viewing people as potential liabilities led you to make the tough calls. However, this emotional distance came back to haunt you; your detachment can make human connections feel risky. Ultimately, while scouting for supplies, your clever mind met the sheer numbers of the undead. Surviving almost 200 days is impressive, and you definitely kept your wits about you—just remember, never go it alone!
Really? I die to a horde? C’mon, Blok… just train them.

Ooh, lemme post my result
SURVIVAL RESULT
You Survived For:210 days
Your Grade:A-
Your Apocalypse Archetype:Ruthless Strategist
Biggest Strength:Masterful planning and swift decision-making
Biggest Weakness:Ruthlessness leading to trust issues
Cause of Death:Betrayed by a trusted member during a supply mission
You’ve shown you can think on your feet and execute a plan with lethal precision. Finding a secure office building and creating a rooftop garden reflects your dual skills in both protection and sustainability. Sure, the trust factor in your group might have suffered from your cold-blooded decisions, but let’s be fair—who wouldn’t want a solid survival strategy? Unfortunately, your downfall came from within when someone close to you couldn’t handle the pressure. Still, 210 days is a strong showing in a world of shambling chaos!
I had just finished playing (or watching someone play) the last of us part I and was inspired by Joel lolll

SURVIVAL RESULT
You Survived For: 165 days
Your Grade: B+
Your Apocalypse Archetype: Cautious Survivor
Biggest Strength: Resourcefulness and adaptability
Biggest Weakness: Reluctance to trust others
Cause of Death: Overrun by a sudden horde while foraging too far from the cabin
Your instinct to flee into the woods gave you a head start, and your log cabin provided the perfect hideout. With skills in foraging, you managed to sustain yourself comfortably for quite some time. However, your extreme caution kept you isolated. In a moment of boldness to gather supplies, you ventured too far, leading to a fateful encounter with a zombie swarm. You played it safe, but a little risk could have brought you the community support you desperately needed.
Heh, did better than I thought I would. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn’t have answered the “what do you do when your friend gets bitten” question with “have them bite me so we go down together”…
