General Notes
There are very few policies which apply across all Wikia. These can be found on the Central Wikia at Wikia:Category:Policy.
Other policies for this Wikia will be decided by the wiki community. It's generally best to keep policies as simple as possible, and not to introduce too many rules. A growing wiki can usually do well with a few simple policies and a lot of good will and cooperation.
Adding [[Category:Policy]] to any policy pages will add them to the policy category. This is found here.

This is a stub, ideas from the maillist discussions and Forum:What_is_the_ultimate_goal_for_Tips_pages? should be incorbporated here.
All rules/guidelines whatever should clearly say that these are advices to make the wiki more valuable. Under Project:Simplified Ruleset this is expressed nicely with Dont follow the rules. Perhaps this could be done better at Project:Tips Ruleset.
First ideas:
- Page titles
- allowed chars?
- number of words?
- specific form (omit "a" "the")?
- specific grammar: eg. subject-predicate-object, imperative?
- Tip body.
- more structure, especially when comments are merged in.
- for longer tips TOC.
- Existing Comments.
- keep comments that praise vim or the specif tip.
- drop comments that have bad attitude, or have no good content
- merge additions to the tips into the real tip.
- howto merge similar articles?
