Created attachment 13150 [details] VE link insertion dialog when attempting to add a section link Since the latest update it is impossible to create links to specific sections of a page in VisualEditor: As soon as you enter the # character the link insertion dialog gives an "Invalid title" error. See screenshot attached and bug 50881 comment 11. I've reported this separately to bug 50881 as that is an enhancement to give proper handling of section links, but this is a regression that blocks all use of links to sections.
Ah, good that someone already reported. Confirmed in mediawiki.org.

… and now deployed.
Unless I'm missing something obvious, I can't make this work anymore on it.wp or Mediawiki. It will just ignore the #name_of_the_section if I add it to an existing wikilink and therefore, it will not recognize the link as edited and the Save button will stay greyed out.
