If I might add my impression:

Generally I think it is indeed quite likable. Just some thoughts :

Looking at : 
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Learning_the_vi_editor/Vim/TipsSandbox/Tip_1:_the_super_star

my thoughts:

1. focus/structure:

At the moment there is a bit of a lack of focus when I look at the page.
The eye-catcher is more or less the box with the author/creator/etc meta
information. The focus should however be on the actual text/body of the
tip. So maybe the text should be in a (differently colored?) box to gain
more attention and separate it from comments and meta info etc. Same
goes with the info boxes for comments on the tip and the comments
contents. I'd also suggest to maybe separate tips with
horizontal lines (maybe even removing the info boxes..) Also what about
perhaps indenting the comments a bit to the right?

2. formatting:

I think tex is right with its default formatting in which line length is
rather short. I think it would be nice if line breaks could be added ?
However while typing this I realize that this would suck when you break
up code..

I realize that currently it's still about figuring out how to properly
parse/convert the content etc.. just wanted to shout out what I have on
my mind about it.

thanks to those doing all the work, looking forward to use the wiki-tips
already..

regards,
Tobi
