== list update ==

Can't we automatically build this list by searching all the pages using the "howto" template ? -- [[User:Dionoea|Dionoea]] 17:30, 20 January 2006 (CET)

: Adding the [[Template:howto|template]] should automatically add the page to [[:Category:How To]], so we can use that. There's a few on the list that are all on one page (so aren't listed there) and also for some reason [[How to Create a DVD]] isn't listed there. --[[User:H2g2bob|H2g2bob]] 17:53, 20 January 2006 (CET)
:Please read [[Template_talk:Howto]] and post comments there.  --[[User:Tonsofpcs|tonsofpcs]] 09:33, 21 January 2006 (CET)

== Curating this section of the wiki ==

I plan on renaming all ~70 [[:Category:How To]] pages in the next few days; I think the wiki might benefit from being organized&nbsp;– specifically; I want to cut down on duplicate articles being in circulation, and help readers find what they're looking for on the first try. The following is a record of what I'm doing (and will do, if my weekend is otherwise uneventful).<br />
I'm going to borrow [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles Wikipedia's system] and apply it ''to only'' these 70 articles:
* Articles should be written in sentence case, i.e., don't capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name
* Article titles should be clear and predictable
* Singular forms of words are preferred
The parent page will be [[VLC HowTo]], so we can have (for example) [[VLC HowTo/Do something cool]].<br />
I hope to merge/delete duplicate titles in this category (how did we get at least 4 separate articles regarding setting brightness/contrast alone?) and make article titles more sensible.<br />
Hope this will be an improvement! {{User:DoesItReallyMatter/real_sig}} 05:02, 30 October 2016 (CET)
