Thank you for your comment on my talk page.

I have (I hope temporarily) restored all the bartending pages (see here for a complete list of pages in the book. In each case the content of the pages beginning Bartending/Cocktails has already been merged into another article linked from Bartending/Cocktails, which is why I believe the old links to be unnecessary. However, I will discuss this with the main authors of the book.

Incidentally, when linking to Wikibooks, I strongly recommend always linking to the book's title. Other pages in any book are subject to significant change (such as the merging of articles here followed by deletion of the old location spaces). On Wikibooks, whilst we tend to have redirects for book titles and bookshelves, we don't for pages and chapters of books (if we did we'd have more redirects than articles!).

All the best, Jguk 08:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Cocktails
Just to note that if you are transwiki'ing a cocktail, first you transwiki it to Transwiki:Name given in Wikipedia, and then move that page to Bartending/Cocktails/Name of cocktail before linking it in, as appropriate to the right subpage of Bartending/Cocktails, Jguk 07:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's right. The Bartending book needs a bit of TLC at the moment - but I'm hoping that come June (or later) it will be a book of the month. This means some consolidation. As noted before, when linking to wikibooks, it's best to link through to the book title (ie to Bartending) rather than any of its subpages. That's because book structures change, sometimes dramatically, whereas book titles tend to be static, and then have redirects remain when they are moved. I'm happy clearing out anything in the Transwiki: pseudo-namespace if you want. Alternatively, feel free to add them direct to Bartending/Cocktails/Glossary and add the contributors to Bartending/Contributors. Kind regards, Jguk 06:21, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
