[edit] Expand, Merge, or Delete BacklogThere is a very large backlog of articles that need to be expanded, merged into the various mixed drinks lists, or nominated for deletion (if there is nothing worth salvaging). Thanks! Please see Cat:WikiProject Mixed Drinks merge-delete candidates for articles already classified as candidates using the Other articles needing work can be found linked to the old {{WPMIXMergeDelete}} template (which was previously named {{Cocktail-micro-talk}}). Please do not use these old templates, and use [edit] WikiProject Name ChangeFollowing several positive comments and unanimous consensus in favor of the proposal, the name change of this WikiProject was changed from WikiProject Cocktails to WikiProject Mixed Drinks. There are many pages that need to be moved, and red links may appear until the transition is complete. Please leave the actual contents of any templates for Willscrlt to update, but if you spot other broken links or any of the following changes, please feel free to make the changes.
[edit] We have an infoboxPlease visit {{WPMIXInfobox}} for examples of how to add our new infobox to all of the articles within the scope of our Project. This will really help! Thanks. [edit] To-Do ListA WikiProject To-Do List has been created. Please refer to and update the list as you work. Thanks. [edit] On-target articles

Tasks
When one of these tasks is completed, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log. Our more experienced WikiProject editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit articles - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy.
To Merge
To Merge or Delete - Either merge into an existing, related article or integrate any useful information into the List of cocktails or one of the other similar lists as appropriate. Transwikiing to b:Bartending might be a good additional step, too.
To De-orphan
To De-stub - (see also Cat:Mixed drink stubs)
To Create - (see full list and instructions)
To Clean up - please add articles needing cleanup to this list.
To Expand - (see also adopt an article)
Images Wanted - If you provide a photo, please remove the {{Reqphoto}} or {{Reqfreephoto}} tag from the article's talk page and remove the article from this list.

[edit] New Articles
Below is a list of new articles created by WikiProject Mixed Drinks members, please take a look and give feedback. Article notices will be kept for one month:
Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 5-day time limit from the creation of the article. Major improvements (such as from stub to full article status) with over 1,000 character improvements also qualify.
Please feel free to list your new mixed drink or drinkware related articles here (newer articles at the top, please).

[edit] Deletion Proposals
Deletion sorting is a new effort that attempts to classify various articles nominated for Votes for Deletion by major categories. The WikiProject Mixed Drinks-related articles at VFD should be listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Mixed Drinks, but are more likely to be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Food and drink.
Click Here to goto the Deletion Sorting section for food and drink articles listed under Articles for Deletion.
Please list any articles or categories listed for deletion here so that they may be discussed.
[edit] Merge/split Proposals
Please list any merge or split article proposals here.
[edit] Projects
Some Project Participants may enjoy working on special projects. One such special project is taking good-quality photographs (original works that are freely licensed) of the various drinks listed. Another special project is temporarily adopting one stub and becoming a super sleuth, tracking down as much information as possible about a drink, writing a good article, and documenting all sources used within the article. See Special Projects below for more information.
[edit] Cleanup
Please visit the Cleanup Project page for all the details and information on what you can do to help.
Starting in December 2006, the primary project of the WikiProject Mixed Drinks is a Wikipedia-wide search, identification, categorization, cleanup, merge, and purge of all cocktail-related articles (which also includes beer mixes, wine mixes, shooters, non-alcoholic mixed drinks, and cocktail mixers). It is a very big job, but it would be so much easier for everyone if you could help a little. Find out how.
[edit] Ongoing projects
- Cross-referencing cocktails, beer cocktails, and wine cocktails by liquor used as well as alphabetical by drink.
- Alphabetical lists are better handled by creating a category and tagging all related articles with the category tag. Manual lists have to be constantly maintained or the list becomes quickly outdated. Categories are self-generating. I see the same is already being done with some of the liquors. --Willscrlt 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Expanding List of cocktails.
- Rather than adding every cocktail known to man, work on expanding the number of quality articles available from the list and merge very tiny stubs (essentially recipe-only entries) back into the master list. --Willscrlt 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Creating a useful list of reference guides.
[edit] Special projects
The following names are informal, but designed to be fun. You can participate in any or all of the projects. If you like, you can add the special project designation after your name in the Participants list above.
- BUILDER: Construct a usable Infobox template, other templates, userboxes, etc. for use by the Project and its Participants.
- CATEGORIZER: Tag all Project articles with appropriate tags so the articles are listed in the appropriate categories.
- DETECTIVE: Temporarily adopting one stub or creating a new article and becoming a super sleuth, tracking down as much information as possible about a drink, writing a good article, and documenting all sources used within the article. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
- IDENTIFIER: Tag all Project articles' talk pages with the Project banner. Tag articles that do not meet the Project's standards for length and quality as stubs. Tag unreferenced statements for follow-up by Project Detectives.
- PHOTOGRAPHER: Take good-quality photographs (original works that are GFDL licensed) of the various drinks listed.
- RENAMER: Rename all project articles to match the type of mixed drink: Name (cocktail) (which includes cocktail shooters; must be made primarily with distilled alcohols), Name (mixed drink) (which includes cocktail-like drinks that are not made primarily with distilled alcohols), and Name (beverage) (for non-alcoholic drinks and soft drink mixers).
[edit] Articles
[edit] Hierarchy
The hierarchy for mixed drink articles at Wikipedia within this Project is explained on the Hierarchy of Articles and Categories page.
[edit] Structure
Ideally, each Project-related article should include much or all of the following information: one or more photographs representative of the drink; suggestions for when and how the drink is commonly enjoyed (e.g., special occasions, after work, at sporting events, etc.); popularity and distribution of the drink worldwide; interesting (sourced) bits of trivia related to the drink; a list of ingredients and briefly the methods used to properly prepare, mix, and serve the drinks; the origin and history of each drink, including the (sourced) creator and date of creation; the mixed drink supplies (including drinkware) used to prepare the drinks; and anything else (sourced) that enhances the reader's understanding of the drink.
[edit] Priority
The highest priority is given to general informational articles on the topics of mixed drinks and the various lists of mixed drinks the Project maintains. Secondary priority is given to highly notable drinks, such as the IBA Official Cocktails, which are popular worldwide, along with the drinkware used with such drinks. Also at that priority are articles that do not focus on drinks directly, but expand into people and places notable for their contributions to or connections with mixed drinks. Third priority is given to less notable drinks, drinkware, people, and places. While at a relatively lower priority, the workload is high, because these articles usually require additional investigation to determine if there is enough information to justify an entire article, or if the article should be combined with another topic, only listed in passing on one of the mixed drink lists, or omitted entirely.
As of January 7, 2007, the highest priority within the Project is building a usable Assessment Department to assess and identify articles within the Scope of the WikiProject. Another high priority is to complete the Project Style Guide, which establishes standards that articles within the Scope of this WikiProject should meet. Helping to bring all such articles into compliance with the standards, along with assessing them, is the goal of the Cleanup Project that runs from December 2006 through February 28, 2007.
[edit] Model mixed drink articles
These are some of the best articles within the scope of our Project.
[edit] Good mixed drink articles
While not quite model articles, these incorporate many of the preferred features.
[edit] Good alcoholic beverage articles which include cocktails
In certain cases it makes sense to combine the few notable mixed drinks along with their primary alcohol.
[edit] Templates
- UserBox templates
- Special templates have been created for use by Project Participants and other Wikipedians.
- Food and Drink Templates
- 34 different food and drink related stub templates
