Forum:Deep redirects

If I implement a deep redirect with

#REDIRECT Internationale Küche

the redirect doesn't work this way. Instead, the "#..." part is ignored. If I follow the redirect manually, it does work though. Is this a bug? – Torsten Bronger 09:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * This was never a bug, just a limitation of the MediaWiki engine. Due to the fact that Wiki redirects are not 302 redirects but are in fact transclusions, a link like Blah that is a redirect like BlahBlah cannot change the url magically to append #Blah without a 302 or javascript.


 * A workaround for this was a heavily requested feature for many years, and was only very recently implemented at Wikimedia's current version of the software (in version 1.9) via a cheap javascript hack. We are on 1.7, so it will not work here until we upgrade. --Splarka (talk) 11:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
