Absent info on Get The Code page

Absent info on Get The Code page
I'm currently going to grab the code for an ad, let's say specifically the "Acme Widgets" ad in the group "SideBar Top". But as I'm looking at the code page, nowhere on there can I see a reference to what particular ad or group I'm about to grab code for, except that it says "... &show_ad=7" near the end of the code.

Not an issue if I only have four or five ads (but then I wouldn't be needing a script to handle this), a whole lot more confusing if there are a whole boatload of ads and groups.

I think it would be a good idea to have the database feed the name of the ad and/or group somewhere on this page. Obviously, this isn't a technical problem since the script will still work as expected but it certainly would be handy to know what ad you're about to paste somewhere in case you clicked on the wrong one. And since the script has gone and fetched the data already, it has the missing info...

RE: Missing info
Interesting idea - how about as part of a commented out line above the ad code, like...

PHP Code:
<?php /* Bob's 400x400 banner */ ...rest of ad code... ;?>

...or...

Code:
<!-- Bob's 400x400 banner -->
<script>javascript ad code</script>

..?

Huhn... I hadn't thought of right IN the code but that too makes sense since otherwise, it's a bunch of gobbledygook (that's a technical term) and that would certainly help to identify what the code you just picked up AND the code you applied five months back refers to.
