Usage[edit]

This page documents the combined WikiProject Food and Drink banner templates. By unifying the various food and drink related projects under a single banner, it:

Leaves the talk pages less cluttered
Simplifies the classification and rating systems, allowing a single editor to classify an article for multiple projects.

For a complete guide to article assessment for this project, please see the assessment page.

Project support[edit]

The banner currently supports the following projects:

Currently, class is inherited from the WP Food assessments for the article. Importance is also inherited from the WP Food assessments. The banner can be modified to allow separate project-specific class and importance assessments, if needed. If anyone wishes to add another related project, please request it on the talk page.
