Why cookbook links and not interwiki wikipedia links? Reub2000 14:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why use Cookbook Links

The cookbook should not be a mere dumping ground for things that got kicked out of wikipedia.

The cookbook needs to be self-contained. If it is not, then that should be fixed. This is especially true for cooking-related stuff. Most other stuff simply does not belong. (for example, the chemistry lesson that somebody ripped out of the Cookbook:Fat module)

Links that stay within the cookbook will go to pages with cookbook links across the top and cookbook categories across the bottom. This is friendly. It allows for easy navigation within the cookbook.

Wikipedia does not normally provide links into the cookbook.

Links into wikipedia can be done via the wikipedia template, giving them a nice little box that invites the reader to learn more -- presumably about non-cooking aspects of something.

Likewise, for the gardening book. There is a template for it that gives a neat little box. (Un attributed edit)

No, this is EXACTLY what belongs on Wikibooks! It is a recipe. Recipe = Wikibooks. WhisperToMe 17:33, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kidney beans

I always put Cookbook:kidney beans in mine. Yum. Cdyson37 11:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] disambiguation page

I'd like to split the various recipes out of this page into their own modules, and convert this page into a disambiguation page, or a general chili discussion page. Any other thoughts? Gentgeen 20:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
