On the vim homepage/community, there is a link to http://vi-improved.com/wiki

The domain seems no longer to be active and is now redirected to a
GoDaddy page.

Regards,
Tom

It should be <http://vi-improved.org/>.

This isn't the wiki though it once referred to. It seems to be rather
related to the #vim IRC channel, isn't it?

Thanks for alerting me because there were two usages of .com on
the wiki (vim.wikia.com) which I have just fixed.

Robert Melton (Metacosm) runs the #vim IRC channel on Freenode
and the vi-improved.org site. In February 2008 he transferred 35
pages from his site to the Vim Tips wiki. Anyone interested can
see the list here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki:New_tips/200802

The .com site must have worked at that time because I checked
all the links (and two of them used .com, while several others
used .org; I possibly never noticed that point).

http://vi-improved.org/ is now for #vim, although Metacosm still
has several pages of general Vim info, with links to the Vim
Tips wiki (the tips listed at the 200802 URL above).

It's the same site, but the wiki was taken down because it was being
bombarded by spam and it didn't make sense to compete with the (at the
time) newly created Official Vim wiki at vim.wikia.com.
