Please follow these guidelines to submit a valuable tip.

  1. Search the wiki to see if there is already a tip on your subject. Perhaps you can enhance that tip, instead of posting a new one?
  2. Titles should be easy to remember (short and precise). Only use characters and spaces for the title. Omit parentheses, punctuation etc.
  3. Try to make the tip reproducible for everyone.
  4. Indent code sections with one space. This will make code look like <preformatted> text.
  5. Include version numbers / Operating systems etc. as appropriate.
  6. Add Category-Tags like [[Category:Plugin]] from the following categories. If apropriate add a new Category.

If you're already editing a new tip

(this page will appear above the edit box, when hitting the "Submit new Tip Button" ...)

  1. Fill out the template below with your content.
  2. Omit the rating section. This is for the old rating system from vim.org.
  3. Don't forget suitable categorization.

For more detailed guidelines see the projects guidelines.
