How about them wikiHows?

Communicating a step by step guide to a slightly more general topic like How to Shop Sustainable Clothing requires more thought than a cut and dry step by step guide. There is an in-between point of over-explaining and making too long of an article, and making an article far too vague for anyone to follow. Discussing something with so many possibilities makes it a little more difficult to give a step by step guide. In writing How to Shop Sustainable Clothing personal experience was a large inspiration. Sustainable fashion has become a “trend” per se in the best possible way. Something that good for the environment, but with a kind of complicated and ambiguous Writing a wikiHow may not be the most enthralling thing you can possibly do, but it is an interesting thing to experience nonetheless. Communicating clear and concise instructions to an audience is far more difficult of a task than you may initially think.
From the name, it sounded like something that could use a step by step guide on a platform like wikiHow. From the beginning to the end, wikiHow steps require very intentional wording. The steps must be clear, they must be ordered correctly and you cant let your grammar or spelling issues get in the way of what you’re trying to say. It is interesting to think that there are people who make wikiHows like it is their job. The intricacies of a wikiHow article went far beyond any expectations. While writing a wikiHow may not be an extremely difficult task, it takes a lot of time and thought beyond critical thinking. Referencing the article How to Write a New Article on wikiHow is a great way to learn about the platform within the platform. This article discusses the small details of writing a wikiHow that really helps the writer to analyze each step being written.
In discussing sustainable fashion, the term in itself isn’t found on wikiHow. Neither are its related names, like eco-friendly clothing, ethical clothing or green clothing. There seemed to be an empty space on wikiHow, while the term Sustainable Fashion is littered throughout other search engines. Writing more of a guide than a step by step instruction was more effective in communicating all the possibilities of reaching the end goal, shopping sustainably.
If getting into sustainable clothing was something you considered, but were you were ultimately overwhelmed with the long wordy articles and blog posts on it and went on to continue your online shopping endeavors, this wikiHow aims to fill all your needs for a one-stop-shop all about sustainable fashion.

Another way that helped to form an outline for the wikiHow was discussing what sustainable fashion meant to others. If this is a topic that you have previous experience with, then your steps for shopping sustainable fashion might already be clear, while on the other hand if you have never heard those two words placed together before you might first want to spend some time researching the topic before you go on to follow any of the steps. With writing the wikiHow it is important to be as objective as possible and realize you could be exposing someone to this topic for the first time ever. Writing as if that is the case makes for a clearer and easier to follow the how-to guide. Without assumptions of anyone's knowledge, there is a small possibility of boring the reader but in general, the audience comes to wikiHow for a simple guide. The over-explanations are more helpful than anything and in discussing sustainable fashion, it is clear that many people are unclear on what that quite is exactly.
After posting How to Shop Sustainable Fashion and it undergoing review, new insight on the article from the admins showed that maybe the steps were not quite as elaborate as they maybe could have been. Maybe focusing on an individual part of the article at a time would have helped to make the article better suited for the admin's liking.  For example, when the article references researching sustainable fashion as a step, the step could include subsets of how to go about researching sustainable fashion.
Ultimately,  writing a wikiHow is a tedious experience. From the planning involved to the wrath of the admins, there is a lot more that goes into a wikiHow than seen on the surface, or webpage rather. Hours of time, thought and even research goes into every wikiHow page, whether it is created by a professional or a student like this one. Making a wikiHow may not be something you consider doing every day or ever even, but it is an extremely educational experience that will make you grow to appreciate the platform far more.
