I understand you point but that is somebody doesn't want to search for
anything but wants to see what cool things can be done with Fedora. If
there would be someway of showing all howtos in one place that would
be great. Why? If somebody made some great Fedora tutorial or howto I
could follow that guide and learn. If I don't know what kind of guides
there are how am I supposed to search them?

You have an idea that people come to wiki only when then need to find
something, but what if they are coming on wiki for inspiration of for
some new thing to learn and not with definitive "I need to find how to
make printing work".

Hope this clarifies a bit why I still really strongly think that there
should be some way of categorising guides.
