NOT a rhetorical question.
I've been very puzzled by an apparent consensus or policy--one with which I obviously do not agree--that recipes in particular, and didactic or "how-to" articles in general, do not belong in Wikipedia. I can give cogent-to-me reasons for not agreeing with this. But I don't want to discuss that now.
Here's what I want to know. Is this an example of a difficult, carefully-threshed-out consensus that newer Wikipedians, having not participated in that consensus, may be unaware of?
(And if so why isn't it documented on any of the policy pages I've been able to find?)
