Many months ago we decided that lines like [[Category:Folding]] should be at the end
of each tip. Accordingly, our category guidelines
(http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki:Category_guidelines) say to put categories
at the bottom of each tip, after a horizontal rule, at the end of the Comments
section (preferably in alphabetical order). For example:
==Comments==
Any comments go here.

[[Category:Folding]]
[[Category:Python]]
I've been wondering about this recommendation recently because newbies find the
category lines to be quite confusing when appending a comment. Perhaps the
categories should be just before the ==Comments== line? Then they would not cause
distress when someone wants to add a comment.
I've started trying this out recently, for example in
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Entering_special_characters.
Following this procedure, I would put:
[[Category:Folding]]
[[Category:Python]]
==Comments==
Any comments go here.

It looks a little weird at first, but I'm wondering if it might be better in the
long term. Any thoughts?
