Template talk:Recipe summary

Why is the parameter for the difficulty called "rating"?
As the discussion title says, why is the parameter for the difficulty called "rating"? This is very bad, since "rating" is ambiguous and is usually considered to mean how good something tastes. If the difficulty rating is indented, the parameter should be called "difficulty". I'm adding the difficulty parameter to the template and switching from rating to difficulty in the documentation. —Kri (discuss • contribs) 11:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


 * So, now the rating parameter is completely deprecated and the difficulty parameter is its replacement. If the rating is used, the following note appears at the top of the infobox




 * In that way all incorrect template usage will be detected. I noticed that most of the places where this template is used, positional parameters are used anyway, for which this will never be noticed. —Kri (discuss • contribs) 12:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I have noted that some pages, such as Cookbook:Policy, have used a parameter called "Difficulty". This is strange, since the template didn't use any parameter labeled "Difficulty". Anyway, I hope this isn't a habit that has been practiced on more places. —Kri (discuss • contribs) 20:08, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Servings
I propose that the "servings" parameter be renamed to "yield". This is inclusive of servings, as well as recipe yields in other forms like weight, volume, count, etc. If there are no objections, I'll try to make the change myself! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:49, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
