I have just finished renaming the 578 pages we agreed, and fixing the
associated VimTip redirect pages.
There was only one problem: I didn't notice that tip 1440 was renamed
yesterday, so when my script went to rename it, the script renamed the
redirect from yesterday.
For the record, here is the

Hey Tom - are you reading this? Should we move the 578 tips and keep the
(probably useless) redirection pages, or should we delete them?

Seems to me that a good solution would be to keep a redirect around for a
limited amount of time before cleaning it up. That way people who have the
tip bookmarked or whatever have at least some chance to update.

I have a big question before moving the 578 tip pages.
Using normal procedures, the result of renaming a tip is:
- A new page with new title and old contents is created.
- The old page becomes a redirec

Good point - I see the Vim docs consistently say "color scheme".
