Copyright violation

 * Hi - I am not the original writer of this recipe on Wikibooks, but split it from recipes that were on Cookbook:Sticky Toffee Pudding and have now been given their own recipe pages.
 * As I did not originally write this recipe on Wikibooks, I am not sure where this has been flagged for copyright material.
 * Please do elaborate further. Jamzze (discuss • contribs) 12:36, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Nostriker, thanks for outlining this.
 * I have looked at the source you quoted and the user on that page has this quoted next to the recipe:
 * "I was searching around for a decent sticky toffee pudding recipe to add to the Wikibooks UK Cookbook. Ended up making this recipe today, based on recipes I read online. It was dead nice."
 * It looks like this user had added this recipe to Wikibooks UK Cookbook that is also present on their website.

 * Hi @Nostriker, these issues should be addressed now. Please see both pages' discussion pages for details on what happened. Jamzze (discuss • contribs) 13:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Jamzze, thanks for taking care of this so quickly! Since there weren't obvious comments in the edit histories or talk pages for these recipes indicating their origin and move, I assumed you had added these recipes to the cookbook yourself. We've had quite a few recent additions to the cookbook that have been appropriating content from food blogs, so lately I've been quick to flag things that appear to be copyright violations. I'll go ahead and remove the copyvio flags I put up. Cheers! -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 20:16, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Additionally, if you'd like to check things for copyvios yourself, you can use the handy tool at https://copyvios.toolforge.org :) -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 20:19, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't know myself, so sorry for not copying over their histories! Glad everything is fine now Jamzze (discuss • contribs) 07:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Cookbook - cats
Hi @L10nM4st3r - sorry, moved the post from proposals to projects after having read what each page was for (that will teach me to read before I post). If you would like to comment again, please do so at Reading_room/Projects - sorry for the inconvenience! Jamzze (discuss • contribs) 16:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Already have. I'll be keeping an eye on it. Thanks! I had a similar problem once. Although much worse! L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 16:11, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Changing cats
Hi Jamzze! I noticed you've been removing a lot of the cats in the cookbook and replacing them with more specific cats. I'm totally in favor of adding more specific cats, but I was wondering why you've been removing the original cats when adding the more specific ones (for example, removing the "beverage" cat when adding a more specific one). It seems to me like the original cats still have some value and should be kept—for example, someone might still want to be able to browse a list of all recipes in the beverage cat without having to go into sub-categories. I might be misunderstanding how categories work, but I just want to make sure we're not removing/hiding useful information and overcomplicating things! Cheers! -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 14:06, 27 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi - the beverage category had become too large to be useful (e.g. I was trying to find all the alcoholic beverage recipes and it was difficult to find them amongst the large list of other beverage recipes). In order to diffuse this category into more easily found areas, I changed the main category "beverage recipe" to more specific sub-categories e.g. "chocolate beverage recipes".
 * All the categories I have changed are still in "beverage recipes", but within their relevant sub-category so it is easier to locate the recipe that the user needs/ provide more specific tagging for recipes. It then does not make sense to keep the recipe categorised by the main parent category and sub-category, so the former was removed. As categories follow a tight relationship from the main category to sub-category to sub-sub category, etc. disrupting this by tagging a category between both layers (e.g. within a sub-category (i.e. beverage recipes) and a sub-sub category (i.e. chocolate beverage recipes) breaks down the idea of what categorisation is for. So, thats why I would recommed not tagging them in both.
 * As well, categories are not meant to act as a broad index, like you suggested with a user wanting to see all the recipes on a given topic on a single page, which are normally other projects of themselves. Instead, categories build relationships between discrete, thematic areas that are placed in a hierarchy from broad to specific. I think, though, that you can add a bit of wiki code to show all the sub-cats and their pages if a user did want this - happy to trial this out. As well, I think this brings up the need for a Cookbook index. Jamzze (discuss • contribs) 14:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, thank you! I typically focus primarily on content, copy editing, and page formatting, so this information is helpful. -- Nostriker (discuss • contribs) 15:05, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi ya, I have added a drop-down menu for this cat, both as a link on the cat itself and displayed on the page Cookbook:Beverages - let me know how you feel about it.
 * For a page that displays all beverage recipes A-Z, that is another project, but something I am happy to look into. I am going to do some digging to see if there is any code that can be used to automatically generate it as a page, rather than trying to do it manually. Will let you know what I find!

 * Please tell me how I can improve this one, it's a new template, found here. Thanks. You're the first to see it. (well, the first to have it on their talk page anyway) L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 17:29, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
