How to create a how to:

A how to is a set of instructions needed to complete a task or build something.

A how to should include:

- A brief overview of the project being built or end result of the instructions
- A list of materials, tools or prerequisites (if needed)
- Time needed (if needed)
- Appropriate safety warnings (if needed)
- Instructions for the project
- What to do after the project is finished (cleanup)
- How to use the result or object constructed

A how to will almost always contain some degree of personal opinion in the form of helpful suggestions. This is acceptable within reasonable bounds.

See how-tos for a list of Wikipedia how-tos.

See [procedural knowledge]? for a discussion of what sort of knowledge is imparted, and how far it can be imparted, in "how-to" type documents.
