RuWiki uses the Cyrillic alphabet.
In the browser url-bar links partially displayed on the Cyrillic.

Is it possible convert to Cyrillic the section link? Uncomfortable and hard to see that encoding in the link in url-bar browser.

I'm not sure if there is some technical reason why non-ASCII anchor names in URLs end up as #.D0.9D.D0.BE in the browser's URL bar while the rest of the URL is displayed "non-encoded". 
I assume that's how MediaWiki encodes anchor names. Or the browser. Or some RFC.

I hope somebody who is more tech-savvy can explain that here.

<cscott> andre__: yeah, that's how it's been and I don't think we can change it now without breaking lots of existing links to our content
<cscott> presumably once upon a time some browser didn't like #%D0%9D%D0%Be
