Description:
Wiki links can have a page section on the end, e.g. [[Main_Page#Topics]].

MediaWiki displays the #section_name in the page text and it is part of the HTML hyperlink so that when you click it your browser takes you to the named subsection anchor:

<a href="/wiki/Main_Page#Topics" title="Main Page">Main_Page#Topics</a>

If you turn such a link to a semantic annotation by prepending with a property name, e.g. [[Test relation::Main_Page#Topics]], then SMW displays the #section_name, but it's gone from the HTML hyperlink:

<a href="/wiki/Main_Page" title="Main Page">Main_Page#Topics</a>

So just by adding an annotation, the wiki link changes HTML and thus behavior. It's really odd to see the fragment on the end of the page name but not to have it in the hyperlink.

Note that neither a MediaWiki link nor an SMW page property stores the #section_name fragment. Some users have asked that SMW support semantic relations between page sections, but that's a separate enhancement. This bug only asks for consistent wiki page HTML after adding annotation.
