I think that we should get more feedback about the template idea. I, for one, don't think that it's a good idea, and no one else has commented on it. I think I will start a new thread to encourage more input.

I think we should just focus on tips for now, and then worry about the taxonomy of the site later. > BTW Is there someone around who knows the wikipedia standards well? > Should it be [[VimTip], [[Vim Tip]] or [[Vim_Tip]] !? Would be nice if > there were someone who could review the pages for things like that ... This is another great question. In my opinion, Mediawiki does a very good job of handling spaces and special characters in file names. I therefore think that we should err on the side of readability, and try to make the titles as readable (including spaces and such) as possible. Thanks again! Tom Purl
