Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Section links in head words/reply

Well, firstly the links shouldn't "hide" information like that. If someone is supposed to figure out from a URL what sense and pronunciation is meant, then something needs to change. More generally though, such links are ambiguous because there may be many sections with the same name on a page, so there isn't even any guarantee that the link does what it was intended to do. The link should always include the language name, which is the only section name that is guaranteed to be unique. And finally, what if someone reorders the definitions so that Etymology 5 now refers to something else?
