An example of this:

This is not possible. You will still be redirected to
<nowiki>[[definitions]]</nowiki> but you will not be sent to the #G anchor.
This feature '''will not''' be implemented in the future, so such
redirects
should not be used.

When was that last sentence added, and by whom, and on what authority?
There is minimal discussion on the talk page, which ends with one of the
participants declaring their intent to drop a Feature Request on
[[m:MediaWiki feature request and bug report discussion]], but nothing is
said about any decision to forbid this change.
Did I miss something?

The edit summary for the change in question reads: Making desc. of
anchored redirects match "How to edit a page"
Apparently, this refers to [[W:en:wikipedia:How to edit a page]].
Perhaps there you can find more information.
