wikiHow is a wiki, so anyone can edit articles, even without an account! Here are a few instructions for making edits.
Steps
Step 1. Find an article you want to edit
Search wikiHow or browse the category entries to find what you want to work on, if you haven't already. If you found an article through a search engine on the web, you can click on the article title to go to the full page of the article.
Step #2. Click on the Edit link
On a computer (that is, not in the mobile version but in the desktop version of the website) you'll find the Edit link below the wikiHow logo, in the top left corner of the page, next to the Article link. You'll also find separate Edit links in each section, showing you the exact section you want to edit. On the wikiHow mobile site, you can click the pencil icon above the section title.
You do not need to have an account to perform an operation. However, it is recommended that you create an account to make edits, because that way you can discuss edits with others via your talk pages and email
Step 3. Edit the article to improve its quality
Try to change the content in such a way that the writing style and main arguments remain intact. But you are also allowed to intervene radically if things are not right!

Step 4. Click Preview at the bottom of the screen to see how your changes will look in the browser
Click Changes to see what you've changed from the existing page. By clicking on Changes, your edit will not be saved at first
Step 5. Describe your edit. Briefly describing your edit will help wikiHow proofreaders determine whether to keep your edits. For example, disc: "I corrected an error in a formula".
Step 6. Click Publish to save your edit
