Peeking Behind the wikiHow Scenes

Every day, wikiHow publishes new and helpful articles to help you get done the things that need doing, from cooking the perfect steak to surviving high school to building a new fence. We also help you with some more specific, less common problems, like how to calculate pi by throwing frozen hot dogs (which you may get as a result on this quiz!).

But how do those articles come into existence? What makes wikiHow the most helpful place on the internet? How does the sausage get made and the magic happen? Let’s take a peek behind the green curtain.

Who writes all the wikiHow articles?
Well, the answer is… you! Or maybe not you specifically (yet!), but every day our community of users—real people like you and me—are busy writing thorough and detailed instructions for doing the things they love, no matter how niche or unusual. We also have a dedicated team of staff writers, editors, and experts who spend hours researching, writing, and fact-checking articles that need a little more elbow grease in order to really shine. We’re sticklers for accuracy!

Who makes all the wikiHow illustrations?
Ah, the illustrations! wikiHow’s signature images are pretty popular online (believe us, we’re aware) for being both helpful and sometimes a little bizarre (usually when taken out of context). For these, we have a dedicated and talented team of illustrators who hand-draw each image, so that wikiHow users get the clearest, most spot-on instructions. Sometimes our visuals team even makes videos for more complex topics. wikiHow wouldn’t be the same without them. Thanks, visuals team!

How can I start writing my own wikiHow articles?
Great question, and we’re glad you asked! All you have to do is find something you love to do and want to teach others, then go up to that navigation bar at the top, where you’ll see the “Help Us” button. There, you’ll see the “Write an Article” button. Just click it, and you’re off! You’ll need to sign up for an account and get a little experience under your belt (things like answering user questions, categorizing articles, or proofreading) before you’re ready to make your own article, but all that is vital work that helps wikiHow do its thing!

Or, if you just want to have some fun, you can create a quiz just like this one using our special tool!
