Python: Lots of function arguments - 73 entries
The function definition is too long for one line. The modeline helps you with some typical Python indent settings.
Before there was Farmville... - 91 entries
There was old MacDonald. For my toddler. The first Vim sing-a-long?
Lower cased and dashed strings - 46 entries
As I have to generate big fixtures files, I wanted to find a way to format input data the way described by start and end files. Especially the lower-cased-and-dashed ids Not so good to find a pure Vim way, that's why I submit this challenge ;)
PHP <--> Java class conversion Part 2 - 84 entries
Same class but reverse!

Complete the circuit grid! - 72 entries
Continuing from the last challenge, add additional rows to the grid. Change each of the names from 'A1'...'A10' to 'B1'...'B10', 'C1'...'C10', etc, and for each new row add 0.7 to the X values in the (X Y) at the end of each line.
Make the circuit grid! - 72 entries

Look everywhere
Permutations N=4 - 60 entries
Could use backtracking or other algorithm to generate sorted numbers. Second chance !
Long prime list - filter version - 19 entries
I've used the maximum input/diff/output size allowed by vimgolf to get a list of integers up to 1460 separated by newlines, and your goal is to only keep the lines containing primes. There are 232 of them I hope some of you will golf vimscript itself to create some function to run as a primality check for each line, which is a good exercise if you haven't done much vimscript yet! You're invited to also try copy-pasting and doing other non-smart text manipulation. Even more interesting would be to see a solution that uses text manipulation to do the filtering! Whether you use vimscript, normal-mode primality checks, or text manipulation, as long as the end result is valid, your answer will be valid! Let's see which method does better here. Best of luck!
Transposition - 67 entries
Transpose the original lines in separate columns, one for each line.

Chinese Multiplication Table - 50 entries
Print a Chinese multiplication table in Vim. In China, every kid is asked to memorize this table. And thanks to the mono-syllabism of Chinese characters, it is not that hard. Printing the multiplication table is also a good exercise for programming beginners. For-loop, escaped characters, etc... There should be some special ways to print it in Vim.
Enharmonic Equivalents - 52 entries
Transform # and b to digraphs
50 factorials mod 97 - 36 entries
List 1! to 50!, but give your answer mod 97.

Carriage return - 41 entries
I have some raw data from terminal output which uses carriege return for formatting. Carriage return sets the pointer to the first character on the line, and subsequent characters will overwrite what was there before. The challange is to simulate the terminal behaviour in vim. I'm kind of unsure if I should have skipped lines 9 and 15, since there might be some interesting solutions which are not that generic. Happy Golfing!
Convert regular pandoc footnotes to in-line notes - 51 entries
Pandoc extends markdown by allowing footnotes, which are usually represented with a footnote identifier followed later in the document by the footnote itself. But Pandoc also allows inline footnotes without identifiers. How many strokes does it take to convert regular footnotes to inline notes? (NB: I've had trouble figuring out whether text-width makes a difference to Vimgolf in comparing the input and output file. I finally tested this locally using the Vimgolf vimrc and did a "gq" on the entire buffer as the last step. Apologies if I'm making a newbie mistake. First time submitter.)
un-C-escape string - 53 entries
Convert escape sequences to characters
Sort by your own sum - 47 entries
Same numbers as last time, but you'll have to add them yourself.
Sort with uniq OpenEmbedded package names - 33 entries
For each line take 4th dirname of path. For example: "alsa-utils", "gawk-3.1.5", ... But! But if previous result is "files", take 3rd dirname instead. For example: "mktemp", "mklibs" ... If version is present in package name (dash is the separator character), take it. For example: "apt-0.9.9.4" prevails over "apt". And finally, use sort -u to get unique names!
Simple Maths - 34 entries
Not much to say, discover by yourself!
