Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Categories of Food Preparation Techniques
Any comment about why things like boiling, steaming, or infusion (among many others) are listed under baking rather than a more appropriate subheading? smIsle (talk) 23:56, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * It seems very unusual unless "baking" happens to be a huge catch-all category in culinary jargon for everything that isn't frying or grilling. 93 (talk) 14:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
