Welcome to the Goons with Spoons Recipe Submission Tutorial!

This page will hopefully help you in the process of submitting your first of many recipes here on the Goons with Spoons wiki.

When you click the create this page link you will be taken to the main editing window. This is where all the information for your entire recipes page is saved, stored, and edited. All content needs to be entered into this window. To make sure you are in the right place, the window should look just like this:

Now that you are at the edit page of your brand new entry submission we need to add something don't we? The first thing you will want to add in the entry window is the categories it will belong too. Categories in the edit window are entered in the form of [ [category:Categories Name] ] minus the spaces. There are many categories and you will most like want to sort your recipe by more than one. Some categories are: Main Ingredients, Author Name, Food Type, Meal Type, and by Cuisine Type
