Wikipedia articles that explain how to do something:


There is an excellent argument for including this sort of information in an encyclopedia: an encyclopedia is a compendium of human knowledge. Usually, encyclopedias describe little of what epistemologists call [procedural knowledge]?, or knowledge of how to do things. Since this is a kind of human knowledge, and since it can, sometimes, be usefully imparted via prose (as well as, or instead of, by direct demonstration or teaching), an encyclopedia should include articles describing procedural knowledge.
