Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Reading/Automatically visit the corresponding URL without the section/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: When one visits "Page#Section", links to "Page" will still be colored blue (unvisited) rather than purple (visited).
  • Proposed solution: When one visits a section of a page directly (from the address bar or browser history, whether it be MS Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox), via a redirect or link from another page, or after saving a section edit, briefly redirect to the URL without the "#Section" part before jumping to the section. Such brief redirection should not be done if the link is to another section of the same page (in particular, if the link is from the TOC).
