Currently package-detail pages are retrieved only with "packages.php?ID=#". I've attached two possible patches to bug report FS#28839 ( https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28839 ) that could enable querying by package name: the first one just adds an elseif in packages.php, the second one rewrites an if block avoiding some duplication of code. PATCH_1: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28839?getfile=8371 PATCH_2: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28839?getfile=8372 A new GET variable is introduced, "NAME", and this way package details could be queried also with "packages.php?NAME=pkgname". If "NAME" conflicts with an existing variable, possible alternatives are "PNAME", "PKGNAME", "pkgname" and so on. Note that the patches use `urldecode($_GET['NAME'])`, so names should be obviously url-encoded in the string. This is already supported by https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Template:AUR This request is the result of the discussion in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User_talk:Det#Templates%20vs%20links. Thank you, Dario
