Template talk:Cuisine

Yes, it is. It is inspired by Modèle:Serie cuisine. On the French Wikipedia, they had this article series box for a long time already. Lupo 07:06, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

yes it is. I'm not trying to get credit for something I "just" translated, the fact that it was only a translation is written on my user page ^^;

[edit] National Cuisines

Could we try to hash out some sort of guideline for what should be included under "National Cuisines"? Some possibilities:

1. Ad-hoc; whatever people care to add (ie, no guidelines)
2. Every existing article on a national cuisine
3. Just the "Big Four" (as defined by Iron Chef - ok, this is a little silly) : French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese
4. Get rid of the section altogether, since inclusion or exclusion from it is something of a POV-type choice

Choices 1 and 2 worry me a little bit regarding the size of the template. I guess it isn't a big deal to have tall box like this, but I still have this feeling that this template is a guest on the pages that include it and should behave itself...

And just to muddy the waters, what about cuisines that aren't national but ethnic, like Jewish cuisine and similar? Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

4) is the only reasonable choice IMHO. Choices 1 and 2 will eventually even out as editors continue to add their own national cuisines. 3) is too limited. The smaller and more focused the template, the better. Another idea would be to completely get rid of grouping them by location, but by cultures (which would take care of the Jewish cuisine).

I agreee that 4) is the way to go... I'll del the section.

This template survived a debate at TfD. The discussion can be found here. -Splash^talk 21:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
