Links to models and model names are not static, and can break silently when new models are added

Currently models are referred to by numbers based on their position in the model group. Inserting or removing models can break external links to these models and change the names of the models.
Possible solutions
- Assign models numbers manually.
- Generate unique IDs
Names of removed models will no longer be used once a new release is made.
Issues
- Inserting models to keep similar models together? Might result in weird numbering (1, 4, 2, 3)
- Name of the model needs to be static, so people can refer to a model without always including a link.
- Unique IDs might be harder to use in conversation.

Won't fix for now. We'll revisit this if we get complaints or other issues come up later. It is very rare that a model is removed or interested after the modelgroup is finalized.
