The site I originally found this bug on was https://extravm.com, using
the command:
`wget --page-requisites --convert-links https://extravm.com/`
The issue appeared on the first carousel, between lines 120 - 121 in
index.html.
When the href was changed to "index.html#carouselHero", the slider did
not work. Changing it back
to just "#carouselHero" made the slider work.
I also noticed that wGET2 does not convert an href="#example" to
href="site#example"
Besides, there would be no point to explicitly make the href point to
the page it is on, as it does that by default. The only reason why an
href with a # should be converted is if its href="newurl#something"
TL;DR href="#example" should not be converted to
href="file.extension#example" and should remain in the original form.
href="file.html#example" would need to be converted, though.

When using the --convert-links in wGET, sites will often become

I believe that hrefs that just have a #whatever should not get
converted to file.html#whatever
I can see how this breaks. Without a file name, wget assumes
`index.html`.
But this file a) doesn't need to exist on the server or b) the default
file is something else (e.g. index.php) but index.html also exists on
the server.
Do you have one or two examples of pages or domains where this happens ?
