Here's my 2 cents about what ever form this takes.

I find that for the beginner which includes me that often small meaningful details are left out or left to chance since the expert that wrote the tech knows the procedure backwards and forwards and forgets that most of his audience is the "beginner". i.e., when installing the shifter cup bushing only use a very light coat of grease, too much will deform the bushing when installing, or when disconnecting the shifter coupler at the tunnel, disconnect the alan set screw rather than the clamp so you don't lose your shift adjustment...

I would rather see the definitive post on each of the major repairs, engine removal, brakes, bleeding , CV joints and axles be re-visited and fill in the missing nuances and procedures. Have one person re-write the tech tip with that in mind, then have the panel review and approve it. That vetted article could be posted a top of the other links that have been previously written and would support the vetted tech tip.

As they say, the "Devil is in the Detail". Often one small detail can make the difference in time and money for the DIY member.
