[Wikipedia-l] please don't allow subhead links

Thanks Gareth, you were faster then me with this answer. But I see that Ed is also suggesting this anchor thing again. We've had this discussion before, please take a look at http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-July/002791.html and all others titled "page fragment links" (and some of the "Numbered section headings" may contain discussion about this, too). http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-July/thread.html I short: Anchors are subpages through the backdoor. If an article is so long that it really needs anchors: split it! Shorten it and put the delailed parts in their own articles. We've hat some kind of compromise that an index function could be implemented, that shows the headlines at the beginning of an article. (This is mostly pasted from a mail on wikitech-l I wrote some weeks ago.) If we (hmm, I mean: the coders) decide to implemented the index function and everybody is still unhappy, then we could think about anchors *inside* an article (but I doubt that it's worth another tag). BUT PLEASE: No anchors adressable from outside! There is nearly no difference to subpages. Thanks for listening :-) Kurt
