I know how to link directly to a section-title of a Wikipedia page; I do it often to support an answer.
I also know how to permalink an article as it stands right now (so I can be sure it still says what it said when I was looking at it). I do this occasionally (particularly with pages that have changed to be substantially worse in the past).
What I don't seem to be getting to work is linking to a section-title when I'm permalinking.
Does anyone know if it's possible? If so, how?
#
specifies the url and goes to the server to request the HTML output. All the parameters separated by&
have to be part of that (oldid
in this case). Everything after#
is used by the client browser to scroll down the resulting HTML page and so has to follow the url itself. Ergo: first&
then#
. $\endgroup$
