Each Recipe should include: * __Topic__, generally in the form of "''How do I…?''" * __Description__ (a longer description of the recipe) * __Author__ of the recipe (member name) * optional __Links__ to related wiki pages or web pages Also, each Recipe page should also be tagged as follows: {{{ [{Tag Recipe}] }}} so that it can be catalogued.
