[Vim-l] Deleting tips - please set redirect page to {{Removed|id}}

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:
