Recipes Wiki:Kitchen Table

Current Events is a centralized spot on the wiki where the community can discuss topics that concern the whole of the wiki. Think of it as a talk page for the entire database. If you want to open up discussion about a particular article, please do so on the Talk: page for that article. Don't forget to indent and sign your posts to make discussion easier to navigate.

The new Recipes Wiki
Okay, we've moved all of the Foodie content over to Recipes Wiki, which means that now there's lots of good pages here that all need to be cleaned up and reformatted.

Here are the steps that I can think of that need to be done in order to relaunch the wiki. If you think of more steps, please add them to the list -- and cross things off once they're done! With all of us working on this, we should be able to move through this smoothly. -- Danny (talk ) 23:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Today's tasks

 * New main page design (Nicole / Wendy / Colby / Phillip)
 * Portal-style buttons to show off the content


 * Category clean-up (Everyone)
 * Figure out a category tree structure that makes sense
 * Should there be separate category trees for Recipes and Encylopedia articles? Like an article about an apple goes under the fruit category and an apple pie recipe is under fruit recipes and then apple recipes? Elocina 19:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Create redirects to the categories
 * Categorize content pages so they fit into the tree structure
 * Move "Keep" temporary categories back -- Category:KeepVegetables, Category:KeepFruit, etc.


 * Category:Cleanup (everyone)
 * Look at the articles in Category:Cleanup -- what to do with them?
 * Personally, I've never understood the reasons for why these articles were put in the cleanup category to begin with. The articles don't look like they are in need of copyediting. I'm wondering if most of the articles (barring those with major problems) should be moved out of the cleanup category. Thoughts? Elocina 18:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I looked at the Category Tree for Breads and Cleanup is listed as a parent category. I know that the cleanup category will probably be needed (even if most of the articles listed for cleanup don't appear to need cleaning up), but it shouldn't remain as a parent category.

 * Yeah, if the stuff doesn't need to be cleaned up, take 'em out of Cleanup. -- Danny (talk ) 18:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, I'll sort through the articles with the cleanup tag today. Also, is there a standard cleanup template for Wikia wikis that could be added. I think if you just categorize something cleanup without an explanation, it can be pretty meaningless. Elocina 19:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Tor tasks

 * Tech fixes (Tor)
 * Category:Food Named After People still needs to get deleted. Everything else is done.

Croebot tasks
