That's a hard question. Would it be worth it to have a cron job or
something that ran every night and moved/linked the newest tips to
chronologically ordered tip numbers? I don't think doing that would
be a problem, I just think it might be surprising when you make a tip,
and it's gone the next day. But a redirect like wikipedia has might
make that more reasonable.
Sound good?

Also, we need to make sure that the script correctly escapes any wiki
formatting. For example, http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip7.
As you can see the and is set to be a page in the first comment. To
fix that you just put <nowiki></nowiki> around the brackets. Also, I
think that for the most part <br>'s can be replaced with newlines.
Any html at all should have a wiki version. See below for help on
that. For the most part I don't think the markup is a huge deal, but
think that we should try to get the script to output the closest thing
possible to wiki syntax. Could someone send out the script that was
used to upload pages initially? It would be helpful to see it so that
we could set up some translation code in the script.
