==Purpose==
 
This template is for use in identifying and processing [[Wikipedia:Perfect stub article|stub]] articles related to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cocktails|WikiProject Cocktails]]. '''Stubs''' in this case are articles that are more than just a recipe for making a drink. To qualify as a ''stub'' within the Project's definition, the article must contain some information that indicates or illustrates the [[WP:NOTABLE|notability]] and [[WP:POP|popularity]] of the article's topic. A verifiable history of the drink, documented use by notable people or in notable situations, and frequent references within popular or historical cultures, all help a stub to stand on its own and reduce the likelihood that the article will or should be deleted. Stubs should contain at least a paragraph or two of information beyond preparation and serving instructions. Articles lacking such information, such as simple recipes to make the drinks, are considered to be micro-stubs and should be [[Template:Cocktail-micro|tagged differently]]. Articles that contain more information than stubs, but are not quite up to the desired standards for Project articles, should also be tagged using a [[Template:Cocktail-expand|different tag]].
 
 
 
Remember: simply tagging articles with this template is a little bit helpful; actually improving the article is extremely helpful and eases the burden of work facing all the Project volunteers.
 
 
 
==Usage==
 
Anyone may identify an article as a ''WikiProject Cocktails'' stub. Doing so helps the Project members locate and process these articles. This template is most useful for Project members to organize and prioritize their work. If you use this template frequently, consider becoming a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cocktails|Project member]].
 
 
 
To use this template, enter <tt>'''<nowiki>{{cocktail-stub}}</nowiki>'''</tt> at or near the bottom of the article you wish to have identified as a ''WikiProject Cocktails'' stub.
 
 
 
'''Do not [[WP:SUBST|subst:]] this tag.''' This template is updated based on the current needs the ''WikiProject Cocktails'' special projects. For that reason, the tag needs to remain dynamically generated, not substituted.
 
 
 
You may quickly check the list of stub articles by referring to the [[:Category:Cocktails (stubs)|stubs category]].
 
 
 
==Resulting actions==
 
Tagging an article as a stub should initiate the following actions (preferably ''by you'' immediately following the tagging of the article):
 
* Recipe information should be trans-wikied to [[b:Bartending/Cocktails|Wikibooks]]. Use the Wikibooks cross-reference tag to link from the Wikipedia article to the Wikibooks article.
 
* Use good judgment to determine if any of the recipe information should remain in the article. Usually a brief reference to the primary ingredients and approximate proportions is adequate.
 
* If there is a reason to include recipes within the article (perhaps key historical variations in the drink due to changes in availability of key ingredients resulting in considerable changes to the recipe as new ingredients were substituted), be sure to adequately explain within the article why the examples are notable and worthy of documentation within the encyclopedia.
 
* Note portions of the article that contain claims or statements lacking adequate citations. Use the <tt>'''<nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki>'''</tt> template to mark the portions. Better yet, locate a good reference yourself and document it.
 
* If the style of the article could use improvement, consider improving it.
 
* With a little extra work, you may be able to improve a ''stub'' into an ''expand'' article.
 
* Summarize key actions you have taken, and note items that still need work. Create a to-do list for the article on the talk page if that would be helpful.
 
 
 
==Special circumstances==
 
Several articles that should have been classified as ''micro-stubs'' were marked as ''stubs'' before the new micro-stub template was created. Other articles have been improved enough to be upgraded from stub to ''expand''. Please change tags as you feel necessary to accurately describe the article within these guidelines. If you have questions, discuss it on the article's talk page or on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cocktails|Project's talk page]].
