Sorry, but there is no way to get user feedback for scripts, except for the very rare user who will express their view using whatever means is available. I think email, to the author or the vim_use mailing list, is the best procedure. However, if a user is not inclined, you won't get feedback. By all means experiment: Put up a wiki page, describe a script, and invite comment. My guess is that there wouldn't be any worthwhile feedback (it's a big and busy world with a lot of competing attractions; there are over 1200 tip pages and over 2400 scripts). If a wiki page didn't have much worthwhile content after say three months, I would recommend deletion of the page because we have too many unhelpful pages already, and that makes it hard for editors to do maintenance, and for users to find stuff. However, the wiki is open for any attempt to help Vim users, so give it a go if you like. Instead of an article on the wiki, you could consider making a user page. On that page, you could describe any scripts you like, and invite comments on your talk page. I'm a little irritated by three user pages created in the last couple of months where it appears the user has no intention of contributing to the wiki; the user page is simply a link to promote the user's web site. Of course we welcome a user page with any useful content, or a user page for anyone who makes even a small contribution; they are welcome. If anyone makes a user account at vim.wikia.com, remember to enter a bogus date of birth indicating you are older than 13, and preferably enter a valid email address so you can be notified if a page you choose to "watch" is edited (such as your talk page where someone might leave a comment about a script). We have had a handful of pages created to describe a single script. After discussion, it was decided to delete the pages (which had not been updated since the initial creation). Instead, the information was assembled onto one "Vim scripts" page that is linked to from the main page: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_scripts There could a line under the description of a script, with a link to the author's talk page, where readers could leave feedback.
