+**UPDATE** I have created a [[page|tips/follow_wikilinks_from_inside_vim]] in
+the tips section about the plugin, how to get it, install it and use it. Check
+that out. --[[jerojasro]]
+
I wrote a vim function to help me navigate the wiki when I'm editing it. It extends the 'gf' (goto file) functionality. Once installed, you place the cursor on a wiki page name and press 'gf' (without the quotes); if the file exists, it gets loaded.
This function takes into account the ikiwiki linking rules when deciding which file to go to.

+The [ikiwiki-nav](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2968) plugin
+for vim eases the editing of IkiWiki wikis, by letting you "follow" the
+wikilinks on your file (page), by loading the file associated with a given
+wikilink in vim. The plugin takes care of following the ikiwiki linking rules
+to figure out which file a wikilink points to
+
+The plugin also includes commands (and mappings) to make the cursor jump to the
+previous/next wikilink in the current file
+
+## Jumping to pages
+
+To open the file associated to a wikilink, place the cursor over its text, and
+hit Enter (`<CR>`). This functionality is also available through the
+`:IkiJumpToPage` command
+
+## Moving to next/previous wikilink in current file
+
+`Ctrl-j` will move the cursor to the next wikilink. `Ctrl-k` will move it to the
+previous wikilink. This functionality is also available through the
+`:IkiNextWikiLink` command. This command takes one argument, the direction to
+move into
+
+ * `:IkiNextWikiLink 0` will look forward for the wikilink
+ * `:IkiNextWikiLink 1` will look backwards for the wikilink
+
+## Installation
+
+Copy the `ikiwiki_nav.vim` file to your `.vim/ftplugin` directory.
+
+## Current issues:
+
+ * The plugin only works for wikilinks contained in a single text line;
+ multiline wikilinks are not (yet) seen as such
+
+## Notes
+
+The official releases of the plugin are in the
+[vim.org script page](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2968)
+
+The latest version of this script can be found in the following location
+
+<http://git.devnull.li/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ikiwiki-nav.git;a=blob;f=ftplugin/ikiwiki_nav.vim;hb=HEAD>
+
+Any feedback you can provide is appreciated; the contact details can be found
+inside the plugin
