Maybe it's time English Wikipedia (at least) created a set of
standards for help pages and a process for identifying good ones.
"Manual of Style (help pages)", "Helpful help page candidates" and
"What is a helpful help page?", anyone?  (The latter two are only half
facetious; the first is probably a good idea, although I would have no
idea where to start.)
