[edit]  About the Desserts Task Force
Welcome to the Desserts task force! Whether you have a big sweet tooth or just want to help out Wikipedia, this is the place for you.
This task force started out as a WikiProject designed to be a complete resource on ice cream topics including shops, brands and frozen desserts in general. Unfortunately, interest in this project dropped off and it was changed to a task force and merged into the Food and Drink WikiProject. It has been rededicated to the more general, though no less tasty, subject of desserts.

These are the current projects that the Desserts Task Force is working on:
|
A community forum has been established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. A general forum can be found here.
- Goal specific forums
- Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.
- Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.
The reason this extension of the notability requirements is necessary is that there is a constant inflow of pages for restaurants that do not have, or have a very tenuous, notability.
[edit]  Article information
- To create/expand articles relating to ice cream by:
-
- Giving history about the brand/company
- Building a comprehensive list of flavors for the brand
- Give consistent information about each brand
- An in-depth history to the ice cream inc how it was first made.
- Expand articles on technology used in commercial ice cream production
- (Note: Please feel free to add goals for this WikiProject)
