Description Umherirrender 2010-10-29 18:26:31 UTC 
A link to a anchor with brackets is broken in Wikitext, but works in TOC and summary, see URL.

It is possible to let this work also in wikitext? Thanks.

The URL has become invalid.

Sorry, it was me. The URL is valid again!
Comment 3 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-01-07 18:58:52 UTC 
This is a general issue with the fact that ['s and ]'s are illegal characters in Titles, so not allowed in the anchors.

In addition to the .5B thing, you can also use percent-escaping:

[[#This is a %5Bheader%5D with brackets]]

I don't think this bug is very likely to be fixed.
