When an imported tip is deleted, someone needs to fix the redirect page.
The three tips for which I have done this are at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Removed
The current tips for deletion are at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_deletion
Example: One of the to-be-deleted tips is tip 435 "Remarks to script c.vim".
When the tip is deleted, someone should go to the redirect page for tip 435:
http://vim.wikia.com/index.php?title=VimTip435&redirect=no
Edit that page and replace all contents with:
{{Removed|435}}
Doing that keeps the tip navigation working (next tip/previous tip), and
provides an explanation that the tip has been deleted and a link to the
original tip.
One reason we need the explanation is that someone might visit the original
tip at
http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=435
then click the link to see the link on the wiki.
The log of deleted pages is at:
