Many how tos, or step-by-step guides, can be found in the how tos category.

Adding a how to to Appropedia

Video

Appropedia allows you to display (embed) videos hosted on Youtube. For now we are unable to embed videos from other sites or host them them here. If you just wish to display a link, you can host it wherever you like.

If you uploaded your video to YouTube, you may embed the video directly on to any Appropedia page by using The YouTube Widget. To insert this widget, use the following code:

 {{#widget:YouTube|id=REPLACEWITHVIDEOID}}

Clear language

Appropedia greatly encourages language-neutral how-tos, i.e. how-tos that can be viewed and understood by those in any language. extremely clear line drawings and/or photographs can make this possible. Multilingual how-tos are also encouraged... actually how-tos, in general, are encouraged.
