 I'm "porting" a college's website from Joomla to WordPress.

 Said website has +2000 pages, which span from ~2013 onwards. It's the
 biggest mess you can imagine. There are many repeated pages, repeated
 categories, empty categories and so on.

 Building the main menu for this website has been a pain in the ass, too,
 because the "adding pages to a menu" in WordPress is meant for small
 websites:

 For example, I was trying to add a page named "Evaluación docente". There
 are several pages called exactly the same, but typing "Evaluación
 docente", or "Evaluacion docente" (without accents), "evaluacion docente"
 or even ""Evaluación docente"" (with the quotes, hoping them would help to
 do a exact match search) returned other pages that weren't the one I was
 looking for - nor even the other "Evaluación docente" pages! Seems like a
 very fuzzy search. Sometimes you're lucky and you get the page you're
 looking for, but sometimes you don't.

 So I think it would be wonderful if there were some sort of way to add a
 page to a menu by typing its id or its slug.
