# links to sections on wiki pages don't always work if pasted into comments.

The Problem

On a link like this, ...
https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/guidelines#do-not-change-sentences-that-are-correct.

... the final period gets filtered out and is not part of the link on tatoeba.org.

Note that the same thing happens here on GitHub.

Perhaps these are possible solutions.

• Drop all final punctuation for such links in the wiki.

• Don't filter out the final punctuation of links on tatoeba.org. This likely will cause problems, since many links will be followed by final punctuation when used in sentences on tatoeba.org, causing bad URLs.

It looks to me that this is more of a bug in tatowiki. It should exclude full stops from anchor slugs.

I think so too. I will transfer this to tatowiki's issues.
