Stroopwafel vs lukken
[edit]Hello Arnoutf, peace. Regarding your edit here, does seeing photos of lukken help clarify the connection between the two desserts? Arbitrarily0 (talk) 21:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes that photo makes it utterly clear that there is hardly any connection between the two. The stroopwafel is less sugary, is sliced open through the middle, is filled with syrup and is no desert. The only similarity I can see (beyond being a waffle but there are zillions of those) is that both are thin. Arnoutf (talk) 13:29, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- As I understand it, that degree of similarity is what "see also" is for. (For the reader who says, "Oh look, here's something that appears quite similar, but is actually different on the inside.") I don't think there's a case to be made for having ijzerkoekje in the "see also", but not lukken. But if you disagree, we can get a third opinion. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I can see good reasons to remove ijzerkoekje as well indeed. I am not a fan of see also's so may be a bit overly reductionist from time to time. But if we go for visual similarity it becomes increasingly subjective to keep out things like cork drink coasters (agreed an absurd example) at some stage (and I have seen some lists going such way in the past.). Arnoutf (talk) 16:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Haha yes, and for that matter we might add Olympus Mons, at least when viewed from a distance and at the right angle. But as for lukken, does this mean you're okay if I put the link back? Arbitrarily0 (talk) 20:12, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not a big fan, but fair enough I will leave it if you put it back in. Best Arnoutf (talk) 20:16, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, much appreciated. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 20:30, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
