Well, ID's are not easy to remember, and having two titles for every page is even more difficult to remember. Tell me, what is easier and more user-friendly: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1312 http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim The only reason I can think of to keep the VimTipNr pages for now is to maintain compatibility with the original Tip site. Would it be possible to write a script that will rename all VimTipNr links to their proper names? I think it would be much easier and consistent...
