Bug ID: 50633
Summary: Anchors in section headings - can they be
supported/displayed?
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW

Some pages use anchors in the headings - useful for redirected articles. Can
VE display these and make them editable?
Original request:
I noticed that when editing (e.g.) TRS-80 that anchor templates, such as the
ones I'd included within the section titles (e.g. [13])- for links that don't
break when section titles change- don't show up in the visual editor... but
they're still easily (inadvertantly) deletable, simply by backspacing over the
hidden markup.
You couldn't blame a newbie- or even nontechnical editor- for deleting
something that wasn't even shown to them(!), but this is the sort of thing that
could be a major pain in the neck.
While I'm in favour of the visual editor in principle (the ability to
contribute content shouldn't be reliant upon geekish markup skills), this *was*
an issue that concerned me when I heard about the idea- namely that the large
amounts of complicated templates and markup (which IMHO will never be entirely
representable in the visual editor) would be inadvertantly messed up, either by
users or by oversights within the design of a "helpful" visual editor itself.
