It's a quick and dirty installation on my machine, probably RSS is an
extension that is not installed. That will change on vim.wikia.com.

At first blush, it looks really good.  I'm making a httrack copy of it
right now since I know that it won't be up much longer.  Later I can
give you a better review :)

Great work!

 I did a lot of experiments over the weekend. I mostly used a local
 mediawiki-installation and even from localhost to localhost a full
 import takes about an hour. Im excited to learn how long it will take to
 import to a remote mediawiki ...

 Some notes about it:

 1) references to other tips get automatically replaced like in
 http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip123

 2) references to the vim help get replaced by links to the
 vim-doc.sf.net as in http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip26

 3) the following chars are forbidden in titles : [] {} # | +
 These get replaced by __HASH__ __PLUS__ and the like. This is ugly but i
 dont want to do any editorial work on the articles now.

 4) The formatting of the tips and comments gets broken fairly often.
 This is because original tips are verbatim and could contain wiki-markup
 (eg. one space indent is interpreted as verbatim by the wiki or the vim
 command '[[' starts a wiki tag)

 5) we definitely need to edit the tips later on. I wont tweak the script
 up to infinity. Some things are easier repaired by Hand (e.g.
 http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip7 )

 My host is only accessible until 17h MESZ (thats 3h from now on). Then
 i'll be offline.

 Please give feedback!

 I don't think that Mediawiki has this feature by default.
 Traditionally, I think you're supposed to explicitly watch a page and
 then you need to manually check your watched pages list.  It's not the
 most efficient process in the world I know, but that's the way it's done
 most of the time.

Wait, here's a better answer.  It looks like both wikia and wikibooks
offers an rss feed of the recent changes page.  Since we have our own
wiki instance on wikia, the recent changes page on has vim-related
changes.  On the wikibooks page, it appears that every single change to
en.wikibooks.org is recorded on that page.  This may be something to
think about when we eventually choose our wiki host.

The Vim tips wiki page looks great. Nice work.

The contents of the following converted wiki tip page doesn't look
correct (a sample
page I looked at):

http://ls10pc13.cs.uni-dortmund.de/mediawiki/index.php/Computing_a_sum_of_numbers_in_vim

Maybe these kinds of problems can be corrected only by manual editing
by the Vim community.

Is it possible to display a list of recently updated/posted tips in a separate
page?

That URL is broken; use the following:

otherwise index.php gets duplicated, leading to Page not found, do you wish 
to create it?

From this page:

I realized that `#' is interpreted as numbering in MediaWiki and needs
some special processing. Maybe it is better to do so from your script.

I have no idea how to escape it.

I haven't tried but I can imagine either

#35;

or

nowiki#/nowiki

Not sure whether they both work.

I think the nowiki syntax is preferred for stuff like that.
