Task: Wiki Format Sign-Off Deadline: Monday, May 21st (arbitrary, I know)
Overview ======== We've had some great, constructive discussions lately regarding how we will be creating and editing tips in the future. Before we can finally decide how this is going to work, however, we need to decide upon a page format for tips. The most recently-updated wiki tip examples can be found at the following URL: * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/VimTest The following tips should stand out: * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1 * http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1_v2 This first tip uses the Template:Tip template (http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Tip), and the second tip uses the Template:Tip2 template (http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Tip2). Requested Actions ================= Please take a look at these tips, decide which one you prefer, and then provide constructive criticism for that tip's format. There's no such thing as a dumb comment. My Two Cents ============ I really like VimTip1_v2, which uses the Tip2 template. Here's what I like: * No special formatting for commands or any other preformatted text. I think that this is an essential requirement for the initial conversion effort. * Easy to read * Succinct How do you want to handle comments? Typically on a Mediawiki site, you sign you comments like so: This is so cool! ~~~~ ---- Which is then saved to the page like this: This is so cool!
