The other major problem is, that since this point further the anchor links
are no longer intuitive - we are now pushing people to constantly think about prepending x when creating anchor links. No more simple copy pasting of the headline.
As a side effect we are now adding unnecessary work to people from non-latin
wikis by pushing them to always switch to latin keyboard, or to click on edittools or whatever just to get the one "x" character in editbox to create the anchor link.
The anchors of non-latin headers are already (latin) gibberish: #.D0.A4.D0.B8.D0.BB.D1.8C.D0.BC.D0.BE.D0.B3.D1.80.D0.B0.D1.84.D0.B8.D1.8F
It doesn't seem reasonable to think that people could create anchors in their head from text, except in special cases.

I'm sorry, but you are not right. Of course people can create anchors from their head (or usually by simple copypasting of the headline). The "gibberish" you speak about is created/converted automaticaly by software and user does not have to think about it.
If I'll write [[Foo#ěščřž]] link on wiki, it is converted to http://.../Foo#.C4.9B.C5.A1.C4.8D.C5.99.C5.BE and WORKS properly - takes me to such section. Same on non-latin wikis. (I'm speaking about the old version before all discussed changes.)
I do not have to write whose "gibberish" anchor names when I want to link to anchor because anchor links are automatically converted by software from human-readable text to that ASCII stuff.
In old version I could have simply copy the headline and paste it after # within [[...]] brackets and the link has been done. Now I can't simply copypaste,but I have to think about prepending of "x" - which - as I mentioned before - is hella lot unnecessary work for non-latin users who have to switch the keyboard etc. (see above)
Kind regards
