## page was renamed from MoinMoinBugs/RedirectingToAnAnchor
= Description =

A '''#REDIRECT''' to an anchor within a page doesn't work. Instead it tries to go to a page with the name including the '''''#''''' ('''''%23''''') sign within it (originally posted at [[MoinMoinQuestions/UsingTheWiki#RedirectingToAnAnchor]])

== Steps to reproduce ==
## Describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug. If we can't reproduce it, we  probably can't fix it.
 1. Put an anchor within a page: '''{{{<<Anchor(GetHere)>>}}}''' (make sure it is a long page (that is, that doesn't fit entirely in the browser window) and that the anchor is not at the top of the page)
 1. Create a new page (e.g. '''!GoToAnchor''') to redirect to the anchor (if the original page were named '''!AnchorTarget''', then your new page should only contain the following: '''{{{#REDIRECT AnchorTarget#GetHere}}}'''.

== Example ==
##Add URL that show the bug, screenshot or test wiki markup that fail...

URL: http://moin.baby.com.ar/PruebaDeAnchor

This should go to http://moin.baby.com.ar/InstalacionesConfiguraciones#DreamHost, however, it goes to http://moin.baby.com.ar/InstalacionesConfiguraciones%23DreamHost?action=show&redirect=PruebaDeAnchor

I guess the complete correct URL should be: http://moin.baby.com.ar/InstalacionesConfiguraciones?action=show&redirect=PruebaDeAnchor#DreamHost

In 1.6.0 release (that's what's installed in the example), it shows the correct page, but doesn't scroll to the anchor, it stays at the top.

Up until 1.5.8 (which was there when I noticed the problem), it actually tried to show a page named '''!InstalacionesConfiguraciones%23DreamHost''' or rather '''!InstalacionesConfiguraciones#DreamHost''' (that is, it showed the new page creation page and, if you created it, it showed that page), so we do have some progress in 1.6.0, but it's still not right (IMHO).
