This page describes policies for pages in the Cookbook. It is a "living document" so it will change over time to reflect the standards created by Cookbook contributors. For specific questions on contributing to the cookbook, see Cookbook:FAQ.

Style

For the cookbook's stylistic and formatting conventions, please see Cookbook:Manual of Style.

Pages Needing Work

Pages which need work should be tagged with the {{cookwork}} template, and will appear in Category:Cookbook pages needing work. When a recipe has been sufficiently improved, the template should be removed.

Featured Recipe and Ingredient

First, please know and understand, the 'Featured recipe' and 'Featured ingredient' categories are actually just repositories for links to the complete versions of recipes and ingredients that either:

are currently in the rotation to be displayed on the main Cookbook page; or
may have formerly been in the rotation to be displayed on the main Cookbook page, but are now 'retired'.

Adding a Featured recipe or Featured ingredient category tag to a recipe does not, by any means, put that recipe or ingredient on the current list of recipes or ingredients that can be displayed on the main Cookbook page.

Selection

Cookbook contributors and users who would like to suggest that a particular recipe or ingredient be displayed on the main Cookbook page are welcome to tag worthy modules with Category:Featured recipe candidates or Category:Featured ingredient candidate.

'Featured recipes candidates' and 'Featured ingredients candidates' should be chosen to highlight the potential of the Cookbook. They should therefore be well written and wikified. In addition, each Featured recipe candidate should:

have a picture of the finished recipe (if possible)
follow the recipe template
have a recipe summary (see template above)
have proper categories (by ingredient, diet, region, etc as appropriate)
be an entire food item (i.e. not a component as in pie crust, sauces)

And each Featured ingredient candidate should:

have a picture of the ingredient
have proper categories (by ingredient, diet, region, etc as appropriate)

Procedure

To rotate the Featured recipe and the Featured ingredient shown on the main Cookbook page click here. This will allow you, and everyone throughout the world who accesses the main Cookbook page thereafter, to see a different, randomly selected, Featured recipe or Featured ingredient from the rotation.

Actually adding to the list of recipes or ingredients in the rotation of recipes and ingredients shown on the main cookbook page can be problematic:

It is not presently possible to adjust the list of Featured recipes displayed on the main Cookbook page, primarily because the same rotation is also included in the main Wikimedia page and is carefully controlled for that reason.

To add to the list of Featured ingredients displayed on the main Cookbook page see Template:Featured ingredient. To prepare you in advance, it requires a bit of programming knowledge, a previously researched candidate, the name of an image, ready to cut and paste, the prior composition of a suitable one sentence summary, and several other steps to be successful.

Usage notes

{{Recipesummary}}:
- All fields are optional, see Template:Recipe summary/doc#Examples for examples on using this template.
- The "Category" tries to resolve to an actual category, but does not include the recipe in that category.
{{nutritionsummary}} is shorthand for {{Nutrition Summary}}. Its arguments are in the order they are displayed.
{{Seasonality}}:
- The numbers entered are 1,2 or 3 for each month. 1 means the ingredient is not in season, 2 means the ingredient is not at it´s best, but is grown by natural means and 3 means the ingredient is in season. These values are entered for the northern hemisphere. The values for the southern hemisphere are automatically rotated 6 months.
- Should preferably be accomplished by a small paragraph explaining the details of the seasonality of the ingredient. The page should also:
  - be tagged with one or more of Category:Spring ingredients, Category:Summer ingredients, Category:Autumn ingredients, Category:Winter ingredients or Category:Ingredients available all year.
  - be added to the tables on the seasonality page.
{{SeasonalitySpec}} is used to enter the values for the southern hemisphere manually. The template has 24 number fields one per month per hemisphere, from Jan to Dec, northern hemisphere first.
