Follow this procedure to create your own recipe on Cookipedia
If you get stuck or confused at any point - please do talk to me, I will do my utmost to help.
- You need to be registered to add any content to Cookipedia, so please register, click here or use the login / create account link, top right
- We have no interest in your personal details, registration is purely a method to limit vandalism
- Once you have registered, login using the same link
- Type a unique name for your recipe into the search box, top left, and click Go.
- You will be presented with a list of pre-built templates to create recipes, ingredients, cooking methods etc.
- Unless you are already au-fait with editing Wiki's then I suggest the recipe builder utility link in the last paragraph. This has been used to create almost every recipe on this Wiki and a quick peek at any recipe should give you an idea where to enter information for the relevant section
- Categories: Your recipe will fall into one or more of the categories listed on the left of the recipe builder. The more categories that your recipe is in, the more exposure it is likely to get.
- Once you have completed your recipe, click the "Write WikiMedia code" button, copy the created text (Ctrl A, Ctrl C), back, back, to the Editing page and paste the text into the large text box (Ctrl V)
- Click the Save page button
- Make any final edits or corrections
- Upload an image if you have one. Any recipe with an image has an equal chance to appear on the home page as the random featured recipe.
