Redirects to sections JavaScript (mediawiki.action.view.redirect) does not work on IE 10 and 11. It seems that IE ignores URL fragment changes via the HTML5 history API (history.replaceState). We should try some location.hash-based workarounds and report this upstream. Originally reported by Paine Ellsworth on [[en:WP:VPT]].

Also reported upstream with Microsoft, since I have an account for that nowadays.. https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedbackdetail/view/959007/history-replacestate-doesnt-update-scroll-position-state-to-new-hash-fragment-unlike-other-vendors Thx for that excellent description Bartosz
Oh, I added it to Roan's IE bugs list, too. You two should probably synchronize or something. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Catrope/IE_bugs#Changing_page.27s_address_via_HTML5_history_API_doesn.27t_scroll_to_new_fragment
