Summary: behavior of empty section link [[#]]
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=263850468
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
[[#]] or [[#|foobar]] links to a null page name rather than a null section. The
example links point to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ which redirects to the
main page.
(except for [[##]] which points to the current url plus "#.23")
As far as html literalism goes the least astonishing behavior for [[#]] would
be to make a link like this <a href="#">#</a>
that would be the same as "#top" except in cases where it is overridden by a
javascript onClick attribute (which it is, most times you see anything like
this).
course if there's some way to make it turn blue and clickable but not actually
do anything that might be best... i'm not sure when this would intentionally be
used except when attempting to create a blue link that does nothing ever.
That's how i stumbled upon it after all :-/
