[Vim-l] homepages for scripts
Oliver wrote on the policy thread: This tip is simply a way to work around the limitation that scripts cannot have comments. And is not a good example, because it would typically be one of the merged comments. In such a case, an email to the script author or the best thing to do (BTW, it may have been done, because I didn't see any screenshot corresponding to the description). This brings up an idea, perhaps a bit too progressive: How about homepages for scripts on the wiki? there maintainers can announce things, users can discuss etc. Everything else could be done on vim.org as we're used to ...

BTW I think it's {{!}} for bar, not {{|}}.
{{!}} does not seem to work either though (but the html escape code does).
Thanks for the reminder. I got the use {{!}} for bar rule from the wiki
documentation and tried it, and noticed the problem you mention, and forgot
about it.
However, I've now fixed the situation. I don't know if what I've done is
optimal - I copied the essence of the official {{!}} from
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:%21 but with my own rearrangement.
See the template and documentation at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Template:%21
The documentation says to use #124; to display a bar, but to use {{!}} if
you need a real bar in a template parameter.
For testing (this is what I did), edit any tip, and insert the text below.
Use 'Show Preview' to admire the very simple table that is produced, and
then cancel your edit.
---text for demo of {{!}}---
'''A table using ttnowiki{{!}}/nowiki/tt for bar.
{{{!}}
{{!}} A {{!}}{{!}} B
{{!}}-
{{!}} C {{!}}{{!}} D
{{!}}}
---end---
In the above, each '{{!}}' represents '|'. This is only necessary within the
'text' parameter of a tip. Using the html escape code here would _display_ a
bar, but you need a real bar to define a table in wikitext.
I still think we should remove the tip body from the Template:Tip parameter,
but I'll have to start a new thread with that suggestion because I don't
think many of us read this much detail:(

Re: [Vim-l] New guidelines (policies) for editing tips

So we have to make choices. In my opinion, it is clear that the tip should be in its page, and the meta discussion in the corresponding talk page. Yes. Sounds very good. Concerning the comments (my level 2 above), I dislike putting them in the talk page, because it would mean opening 2 pages instead of one, from a user perspective. Should we keep these comments on the tip page, or remove them? I am in favour of removing them when they have no added value (most of the cases), because I consider them as noise. If comments are subject to Though I like the friendly tone of most such comments, i'm ok with deleting them. As for discussions as on VimTip612: I would say they should be merged i such a way: --- There are different positions on this issue: Some ppl say: blah, because of ... others say blubb, because of. --- Thus remove the thread/discussion style.
