There's a bug in the source example for redirect Dog -> Animals#Dog; the "instead" clause incorrectly says "Dog#Dog", when it is actually "Animals" in the currently dispayed URL (it will now display the anchor so yes it will be "Animals#Dog"; and certainly not "Dog#Dog" either...
I'm afraid you're mistaken, or I'm not explaining well enough :)
Here's an example, on the wikitech wiki because it's still a few versions behind Wikimedia wikis and therefore the previous behavior still applies:
There's https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Guillom/Animals with a list of sections, and https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Guillom/Dog that redirects to [[Animals#Dog]]
If you open the Dog link, you arrive on the Animals page (as expected of a redirect) and the address bar does show "Dog#Dog": https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Guillom/Dog#Dog
If you test something similar on a Wikimedia wiki (with the new behavior), you'll see the difference.
So the sentence in Tech News is correct: If "Dog" redirects to "Animals#Dog", you now see "Animals#Dog" instead of "Dog#Dog".
Note: there's also currently a fatal bug in the translate tool; which can no longer mark new versions of pages: The server fails with a Fatal HTTP error 500:
I can't reproduce this issue, but if it persists, I recommend you open a Bugzilla ticket with the steps to reproduce, so the developers can investigate: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org
Thanks!
