Great - thanks.
Do you think it worthwhile to adjust our policy as I outlined earlier? If
so, I'll do it if you like, but would it be worthwhile?
The Golden Rules currently start:
Please follow these guidelines to submit a valuable tip.
1. Search the wiki to see if there is already a tip on your subject.
Perhaps you can enhance that tip, instead of posting a new one?
How about changing the first point to something like:
1. Check that your tip is suitable for the wiki, and that
there is not already a similar tip - see our tip policy.
The 'tip policy' would link to
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki:Guidelines which would start with a
statement that the content of a tip should be worthwhile; it may link to
extra detail, but the tip should be self-sufficient for its main point.
Links should be to well-known reference sites, and should avoid personal
sites that are likely to change. The statement would cover the "search the
wiki" point.
