There's a HSW podcast titled "Stuff You Should Know" and hosted by staff writer Josh Clark along with some other staff writers and editors. It's been in the Itunes (for America) top 20 podcasts for a while now. I'm not sure of when it began, etc. so could someone else write this in for me? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.221.127.16|98.221.127.16]] ([[User talk:98.221.127.16|talk]]) 17:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

As far as I know, Howstuffworks isn't a how-to website--it's more of an informational site than it is directional. Should it be taken out of that category? I'm not sure if this has been resolved already or not; that's why I'm asking. |

Accessing HSW content from Wikipedia
A link to a something works on HowStuffWork can be made by means of a template: {{HSW}}. Instructions about the use of these templates can be found on its talk page. Note that this template should be used in the "External links" section.
Comment
Isn't there a Wiki on this website? If there isn't how can I start one --209.12.51.207 19:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)?
Who writes HowStuffWorks articles? Wiki or company?
The writers write the articles.

Removing http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wiki.htm link
I removed this link from the "External Links" section as per Wikipedia:Avoid_self_references. That article is no more notable than any of the others on the site, and there is no reason for us to link to that one solely. I hope thats OK with everyone. Bodil 19:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Slogan
The slogan for HowStuffWorks is either "Learn How Everything Works" or "It's good to know". Does anyone know which one, so we can add it to the article? 99.254.204.28 (talk) 20:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I updated the article and I used "It's good to know" as that one is the most used. -- iDosh! talk? 17:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Accuracy
I'd be wary of quoting HowStuffWorks as a reliable source. Have a look at Talk:Quasiturbine#HowStuffWorks for what seems to be a glaring piece of misinformation.
Of course Wikipedia is not perfect either! But we've had a number of people test our accuracy and comment on it. I wonder, has anyone tried to assess the reliability of the info at HowStuffWorks? Andrewa (talk) 17:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

How-to website?
As far as I know, Howstuffworks isn't a how-to website--it's more of an informational site than it is directional. Should it be taken out of that category? I'm not sure if this has been resolved already or not; that's why I'm asking. Scxnwa (talk) 01:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
