You have fixed it two times and it is spammed again. I just wanted to correct
it before finally adding my relativenumber patch, but it didn't work, see
below.

Yes, you don't have a change history and the word processing tool is annoying.

A link which would be changed by a spammer again?
When moving the patches list to the wiki, I think we should just add a page
with a link to it on a new subsection below "Download" on vim.org and kick the
Google groups page.

Until here it was as described.

There was no such button or link available. Only an "edit this page" button. I
clicked it and got to the edit page. I saved without verifying the links. This
method didn't work, the latest page was the current again. So where was the
correct button/link? I used Firefox, should work I think.

I had created an account at Google (what a pain!) just for this entry.
