Description

Echo is not always linking to the correct section on busy help pages. Example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Help_desk&oldid=prev&diff=607615040

I was pinged in section "Reflinks", but echo linked to the section above; "requesting archive bot check".

This does not seem to be the same problem as T62396. That bug is caused by duplicate headings. In this case I am being directed to a completely different heading name.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
