PHP Array Syntax -> MailChimp Merge Syntax - 456 entries
I recently needed to send an e-mail to our marketing department listing allowed merge tags for our MailChimp campaigns. The allowed merge tags were determined from a PHP array in one of our PHP classes. I transformed the PHP class to MailChimp's syntax and sent the e-mail. It was, however, a long, laborious process. I'm still fairly new to Vim and would love to see how an expert Vim user would tackle one of my own, real-world problems. Thanks and have fun!
Refactor to Helpers - 45 entries
This Rails partial is almost all template escapes. Put it into a helper, and refactor each case to methods so we can build out the controls for each. (I've converted to tabs - fighting with Vimgolf's default config shouldn't be part of the challenge.)

Put the contacts and their information in alphabetical order.

Same class but reverse!
PHP <--> Java class conversion Part 1 - 188 entries

formatted text to markdown - 180 entries

Overall Vimgolf Rank - 142 entries
Suppose you are trying to figure out what your overall rank is at Vimgolf(the sum of all the ranks you got), and as a Vim ninja you decided to use Vim to do the job. Your solution should work for every Vimgolf profile page(The actual input file for this challenge is my Vimgolf profile page). So, direct answer insertion is considered cheating.
Assignment Alignment - 764 entries
line up the operators. Use spaces, not tabs.
Before there was Farmville... - 95 entries
There was old MacDonald. For my toddler. The first Vim sing-a-long?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1 - 133 entries

Boilerplate getters & setters - it's a tedious fact of life in Java, and probably the only thing that still pulls me back to an IDE. Perhaps someone knows a fast, pure vim way...

Rubyists talk about being cutting edge but how many are using 1.9 in production? Time to convert those verbose 1.8 hashes in to symbolic, succinct 1.9 beauties!
Reverse and count - 407 entries
Someone typed things upside down and now a Vim ninja needs to reverse the lines and count how many there are.
