Could a sysop please move HowTo to How to. --Ellmist Saturday, April 19th, 02003
List of how-to articles[?] would be more in line with our rules on capitalisation. But since I'm actually campaigning to get rid of how-to articles altogether, there's not really much point in my considering that question at all... :) -- Oliver P. 07:45 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Hmm... Well, it starts off by saying, "A how to is".... (Actually, shouldn't it be "A how-to", rather than "A how to"?) So it starts off as a definition-type article. If I succeed in my quest to get rid of how-to articles, the lists will vanish, and we'll just be left with an article which explains the concept of a how-to. So I think the title should be how-to, in fact. -- Oliver P. 08:26 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)
How to structure the page HowTo
I would like to reorganize this topic by categories. For example, all of the cultivation How-To wikis would be relocated to a new Cultivation_how_tos page. Categories would only be added for topics that already have several wikis on this general How To page, to avoid categories having only 0 or 1 wikis.
I will go ahead and do this in one week (about 3/13/03 (international 13.3.03)) unless there is a clear consensus that it should not be done. David 17:58 Mar 6, 2003 (UTC)
It sounds like a very good idea to categorize this page, but I personally prefer that if there are not too many of them, that the categorization at least begin all on one page. That way people can browse all that is available at once. An example of this kind of all-in-one-page categorization I am referring to is at: Wikipedia:Wikipedia_arranged_by_topic -
I also think we should make sure its items are integrated within the main subject categorization pages as well (e.g., cultivation how-tos under "Agriculture" categorization section/page) as should all items be tied together (historical timelines by subject not only accessible under the historical timeline page but also in subject category views, etc.)

Ok, I changed it to be categorized. Again, I think it is nice to be all on one page, but if for some reason, people want it to be separated, you can of course use the categories as a base for making links to subpages (or make up entirely new categories). - Brettz9 08:32 Apr 19, 2003 (UTC)

What was wrong with "Recreation and Hobbies"? "Extra-curricular Activities" seems to be related to items outside of a school curriculum? - Brettz9 22:34 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
