So for people that haven't been reading <wikitech-L>:

You saw an announcement a few days ago
that there's discussion on <wikitech-L>
about implementing a category scheme in Erik's style.
For the most part, that discussion hasn't impacted policy --
you may or may not like /Erik's/ style of categories,
but that's what's being implemented now on that list.

However, one discussion of policy has recently come up.
That's over whether to allow links from article [[Z]]
to section [[#Y]] in article [[X]], through the markup "[[X#Y]]";
or whether to allow links only from the same article [[X]],
through the markup "[[#Y]]".

So if you care about that (and it's generated heat before!),
then go over to <wikitech-L> and read what people have said.
(In particular, understand that the technically simplest coding
will automatically make both sorts of links work.)
Then discuss it wherever you feel is best.
