Editing Help:Text editor support (section)

=====Adapt to MediaWiki lines without line breaks=====
Wikipedia articles often only have line-breaks at the end of each paragraph, a situation Vim by default doesn't handle as other text editors. Save the following lines to "<kbd>~/.vim/ftplugin/mediawiki.vim</kbd>" or "<kbd>vimfiles\ftplugin\mediawiki.vim</kbd>" to make it as you may be used to from Notepad:

{{File title| $HOME/.vim/ftplugin/mediawiki.vim}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="vim">
" Many MediaWiki wikis prefer line breaks only at the end of paragraphs
" (like in a text processor), which results in long, wrapping lines.
setlocal wrap linebreak
setlocal textwidth=0

" No auto-wrap at all.
setlocal formatoptions-=t formatoptions-=c formatoptions-=a formatoptions+=l

" Make navigation more amenable to the long wrapping lines.
