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.
