In general some editors have been quite enthusiastic, a bit overly, adding recipes on pages where they're not needed. Three general rules of thumb that are applicable imo:


 * Generally only mention recipes on an item page that actually use the item. No derived recipes, unless there is no page on the produced item.


 * Only mention recipes on an item page that lead to production of the item. No prerequisite recipes.


 * No recipes on the new vanilla item pages that have recently been created.

This should cover the majority of 'superfluous recipes'.
