Currently, the links on diff pages (such as the link to the right-hand user's user page) do not have ids. As such, many tools developed to interact with the wiki (such as js tools and external tools, such as VandalProof), rely upon the inherent odering of these links to determine which link correlates to, for instance, the right-hand user's userpage. This information is then used for a variety of purposes, the most simple of which is simply adding the username to edit summaries automatically. When the ordering of these links changes, such as after the "Undo" link was added, every script that relies upon the order of these links breaks. I would like to request that id's be added to these links, most especially to the links to the relative userpages and the rollback link, such that their values can be accessed by simply using getElementById and such that dependent scripts will no longer break when further links are added or removed. Thanks.
