Request: Please bring back the script Ids

[jdevera]

When I get to vim.org after looking for some vim plugin, if I want to try it, I immediately come to vim-scripts.org to get the github mirror for it. This used to be extremely easy when the scripts page was anchored by script id, since there was no room for error due to scripts with similar names. I had even created a custom search engine in chrome that would do the search automatically by id.

All this story is to back my request to have the id anchors back in the scripts page. Or, if it makes more sense, a link to the corresponding vim.org page (I could parse that with a script).

thanks.

This would also help with scripts with the same name.

For example, sqlplus.vim appears twice on the "All Scripts" page:
http://vim-scripts.org/vim/scripts.html

However, both of these point to:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=97

Whereas one of them should be pointing to:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2821

Thanks!

The second one is mirrored at https://github.com/vim-scripts/sqlplus.vim--Rey

Both should be visible in the completions. It's gotta be a bug that the first script appears twice on vim-scripts.org and the second one not at all.

Since GitHub still requires unique repo names (as it should!), I don't see how script IDs would help.
