Treatment how to[edit]

If this template (or at least the "Treatment" section) exists to aid those with lice, it falls into the WP:NOTHOWTO trap and should be removed---WP does not exist to give treatment advice! 118.90.5.177 (talk) 08:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Helping readers navigate to articles about treatments is not at all the same thing as writing an article in the style of a how to manual. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia has lots of articles that go into detail about treatments for conditions, but we should avoid writing them as step-by-step instructions. Treatment of multiple sclerosis became a featured article two years ago! --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 05:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
