Advanced stuff, but seems logical :-), Thanks for the tip. So we have a new guideline: Categories to the bottom. > 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.

You're right. My hidden plan was to keep all tips at one place (category) to ease handling by a bot. It will be easy to iterate over all articles of one category. Your idea to do a subcategory for that sounds very good. Before I was thinking about a "namespace" for vimtips, but that seemed to be more complicated in the beginning. We would need advice by experienced mediawiki users/admins, under what circumstances that would be useful. I (personally!) would like to see more on the wiki than only the tips. The first careful tryout is the "Other Pages" section, but I can think of a lot more of good information that could be contributed by the community). But this topic is worth its own thread perhaps on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and perhaps at a later stage ... > 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? Easy things can be done by their techs. One can get in contact via #wikia on freenode (or a java applet on wikia.com ). For more complicated things we would have to write our own bots. which is easy with this toolkit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/ The sources can be adapted quickly ... But I have no idea where to host a bot that should run e.g. nightly? Angela?
