The majority of my postings are around the media or market and how the devices is being approached rather than how do i do X with my phone. But I have had that twice and when I PM'd or created a posting they were answered quickly and without sarcasm. On the PM response I went back to the relevant forum and posted a how to... Great huh! Well it would have been better if I or someone else had added it to the Wiki.

It is important to have phenomenal FAQ's and How-tos that will make life easier for newbies. (myself one of them).

One thing that may help is making the wiki more robust and easy to access. Maybe similar to how you query the forums for like posts run the query against the wiki. (like a google search of the site)

If someone were to put together a How-To template and encouraged people to build and submit (for review / testing) I think it could add a lot of value.
