Last Updated: December 29, 2022

Looking to write questions to add to WikiAnswers, the wiki-site of Answers.com? Although it looks hard, and although the site seems to find applicable links (and routes it there instead), the process is easy. Use this article as a guide, to help you submit that proper question to WikiAnswers.

Steps

1
Visit and sign into the wikiAnswers website in default your web browser so you are able to save your questions to your account, so you can go back to them later, for faster access.
2
Type your question in the blue box at the top of the screen.
- Start your question with either 'why', 'where', 'would', 'should', 'is', 'are', 'how' or any of the major question words.

3
Click the "GO" button to begin to ask the question.
4
Make sure there are no other questions that ALSO answer your question. If there are other exact questions, click the question.
5
Scroll down a little bit until you see the box that contains your previously-asked question that hasn't been submitted just yet.
6
Check for spelling and grammar errors, along with capitalization errors from your questions and click the "Submit Question" button.
7
Categorize your question. It won't let you go and save it without the correct category, so choose the correct one.
8
Click the new "Submit Question" button.
9
Wait a little while for your question to be answered. Some questions take longer to answer than others, and you may be waiting months or even years to see them before they are answered, but much like any wiki, if you find the answer, be sure to share the answer on the question page.
