Welcome
Hi, welcome to Recipes Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Halloween Cookies on a Stick page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Sarah Manley (Talk) 17:09, November 1, 2009

Hello!
I noticed you have been contributing lately to Wikia Recipes and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kimberly McCollister and I am Wikia’s newest Community Marketing Associate. Right now, I am devoting my efforts to improving and expanding the Recipes wiki. I really appreciate the work you have done on the wiki and would love your continued support. If you have any questions, suggestions or just want to talk shop (or should I say talk food?) feel free to send me a message.

Thanks!

 * Hi and thanks Kim, Are you new to wikia? Or have you been round a while (I've been editing since May :D) --Lcawte 16:11, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I am new to Wikia and very excited to get recipes underway. Its great that you have been contributing since May. Like I mentioned before, let me know if you have any ideas for Wikia recipes!

 * Not any that I can think of at the moment, I dont make up Recipes or Cook from random recipes very often so I just preform mantaince tasks here normally. --Lcawte 17:09, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Bot
What would the bot do exactly?

It would be great if you ran the bot to eliminate 0 and ; links. If you plan to run anymore let me know. Do you need admin rights to do so? Thanks for all of your help!

Go ahead and create a new user name such as Lcawte-Bot and I will enable that as a bot. That way non bot edits you make can still be under Lcawte and will be seen on latest activity. Thanks again!
 * I already have an account for my bot, its LcawteBot, as I currently run the Bot on Brickipedia and various other sites.. --Lcawte 23:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Okay I enabled that user name as bot. Happy Holidays! :)
 * Thanks and good night /me falls asleep --Lcawte 23:36, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Okay I added you the Bot section of check user. Let me know if that worked. Kim (talk ) 16:52, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It didnt work >.< Add a *(space) and remove the things (so it basicly matches the Approved Users. --Lcawte 16:55, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Okay done...thanks!

What to do?
Hi! I am a bit confused. Could you elaborate on the problem. Also, if you want to contribute to Recipes in other ways than bots let me know and I can give you some projects. Thanks!
 * The problem that is the CheckPage for AutoWikiBrowser seems not to be working out for me :(. Yeah, I would like some tasks other than Bots... --Lcawte 22:02, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

To Do
Thanks for helping out. One thing we are working on right now is building categories within our category pages. We are currently trying to complete the Healthy Recipes Category page. We want to categorize all of the recipes listed at the bottom of the page as either Healthy Main Dishes, Healthy Desserts, Healthy Side Dishes or Healthy Appetizers. We also want to categorize any Healthy Salads or Healthy Drinks.

When you are adding the categories to these article pages it would be great if you could clean up the article itself. Here is the standard recipe format so when making edits we can work toward a more uniform recipes site. Eventually, we will bring in a template for users but for now I prefer this format:

Leftover Roast Beef Spicy Salad

I think it looks nice to have H2 headings for "Description", "Ingredients", "Directions" and "Contributed By". If other terms are used, for instance "Recipe from" instead of "Contributed By" we should change them to the correct terminology. I also think we should eliminate the See Also, Other Links and Description headings if they do not apply to that recipe or if there is no content underneath. Let me know if you have any questions.

Eventually we will be moving on to other category pages as well. :) It will be a long process but will really improve the usability of the site.

THANK YOU!!!!

That would be great
I would love if you would move everything from Glossary to "Ingredient Glossary" and "Cooking Supply Glossary" and then break items down withing that. Just make sure that the titles still somehow have the word glossary in them. Thanks! Kim (talk ) 21:17, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
