r/WordPress META: What is the difference between flair Help Request and How To?

[ad_1]

I’m not clear on when one would use “Help Request” flair vs. “How To”. I also didn’t see this topic addressed in the wiki so I’m creating a post here in case others have the same question.

Please give examples of when to use each, because they seem like they could be synonymous.

Thank you
