Well, Tom Purl called the thing 'Vim Tips Wiki' which is its primary task.

But Wikis are dynamic by nature: I added the "Other Pages" Section in the 
very beginning, but that has not been accepted too well by now. But I 
could think of many other useful things, because vim has a strong 
community but there is no collaborative platform.

Some ideas:
  a Homepages for plugins and scripts. That way we can have issue 
    tracking,
    comments, documentation etc for the plugins. [1]
  b Userpages: Many users have their "look, i love vim" homepage. Are they
    listed anywhere?
  c Tutorials for (beginners, intermediates, experts) on specific subjects
  d Advertising for Brams Uganda project.
  e ... (everything that is done by "the community")

A feature of mediawiki we do not use yet, but could become useful in 
future is "namespaces". We already use them for "Talk" and "User" etc. 
But one (better wikia-staff) can configure new ones. Thus we could have 
an "Tip" Namespace (perhaps in place of Category "VimTip"), a FAQ 
Namespace, a Plugin Namespace etc.

a) is very powerful, and i would say we can think about it, when the tips 
begin to become more stable. We would need again a lot of infrastructure 
to make it a success.

b-e) could be done easily, "Other Pages" is the first stub.

Sebastian.

[1] Im playing around with dokuwiki ATM: They use the wiki to
explain/distribute plugins: http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:plugins
