Many of the instructions on this thread would fit well on wikiHow. It would be better to put them there than on Less Wrong Wiki or a new site because wikiHow is already known by more people as a source of information on basic things.
A hard-earned lesson from my days as a technical writer: “a man with two watches never knows the time.” That is, any piece of information maintained in two places will sooner or later progress inconsistently.
Putting it in one place and a pointer to it in the other place might be better.

Aside from time (a non-trivial consideration) is there any reason not to put them on both wikiHow and the LW wiki?

That’s kind of what I was hinting at.
