I mentioned this on
<http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Uncategorize_redirect_pages>
but I thought I should bring it up here.

I've noticed that people are placing the [[Category:...]] lines at the
top of the tip articles.  I can understand the desire to do this, but
there's a reason why Wikipedia has standardized on putting those at
the bottom of articles, and that's when you need to do category sort
overriding, e.g., an article named:

  "foo" bar

Needs to be manually told to sort under the "F" section in the
category:

  [[Category:VimTip|foo bar]]

This can't work if the line is above the {{Tip}} template inclusion
which has its own [[Category:VimTip]] line--the last category line for
the same category takes precedence.


Another issue brought up in the above URL is that while I can
understand why the VimTip## pages are categorized under VimTip, but I
don't think this is a good idea.  Just go to the "V" section of the
category <http://vim.wikia.com/index.php?title=Category:VimTip&from=V>
to see why.

If we really need VimTip## pages to be categorized, I propose a
sub-category of th VimTip category--something like VimTipRedirects.

Unfortunately, I've been removing the categorization from redirect
pages that I fixed before I realized I might be messing things up.


It'd be nice if we could have some kind of an auto-edit bot that could
fix both of these problems, once a decision has been made.  Does Wikia
offer something like that?
