Lists of songs about food and beverages
Should Lists of songs about food and beverages be added to the category?—Wasabe3543 06:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I don't think a song about food counts as a food.  --JeffW 06:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * If it gets recreated, a better category would be Category:Lists_of_songs. --GentlemanGhost 06:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

How to add a food list to the Lists of foods
Should List of foods containing tyramine be added to this category? Angela C 07:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not, its (also) about food, although its more about the medical implications. But that is not much different from listing food additives. Mahjongg 10:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I thought it would be alright, but when I tried to edit the category page and add it, the page looked different than other pages in that I don't see the existing text; there is no A-Z or food lists. I'm still fairly new so I thought maybe I needed to ask someone to add it. I'm not sure how it needs to be done. I just tried and previewed it and it appeared at the top of the page. I also need to add the letter T to file it under as well. Any ideas? Angela C


 * Nevermind. I was trying to edit 'Category:Lists of foods' to add List of foods containing tyramine, when I needed to edit List of foods containing tyramine and add 'Category:Lists of foods' to the categories at the bottom of the page. Then it appears on the category page. Now I get it. There is so much to learn here! Thanks again! Angela C 10:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome, as you can see I was inspired by you and made some additions myself. Mahjongg 10:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding those! I need to learn more about Categorization and categories and subcategories, etc... Thanks again! Angela C 09:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Some entries should be removed
I think that we can remove some of the entries from this category. For example, the article Edible mushroom is an article, not a list, and the list List of meat animals is not, strictly speaking, a list of foods. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

OK, I have just looked at the article Edible mushroom and seen that certain sections of it could be regarded as being list-like; but these sections do not even have the sub-heading "List of edible mushrooms". I still think that we should eliminate this entry from the article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 15:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment on the alphabetical order of this list
The alphabetical order of this list needs to be revised. Under "L", we find some entries that are there simply because they begin "List" such as "List of Moroccan dishes"; yet other entries are put in a place suggesting inclusion under the main head word in the title of the category. It seems strange, for example, that "List of Moroccan dishes" comes under "L", yet "List of Irish dishes" comes under "I"  - this seems to me to be contradicting rules about where to include entries in this list. My recommendation is for some to give the order of entries in this category a very thorough re-ordering. Many thanks in advance to any one who can do this.
