I know. I find it odd that IDs are added again.

Okay, you mostly have it, although we don't use plan pages for that.
If your notes are on a day page, you shouldn't put the day page in the
plan page link. You can make the link in the task description,
though...

The plan page links are there so that if you want to associate a task
with a project, you can link it to the project and the task will show
up in both pages. When a task gets procrastinated, it will be updated
on both pages. _Strange_ things happen when the linked page is also a
date page.

Hmm. Only for old versions of planner. This probably includes
planner--stable. Do you want nil to work?

You're probably on stable, then. I haven't changed anything, so you're
just lucky. ;)
