      Question Two questions: Wiki index synonyms & linking to an anchor section of a particular page

      1. I'd like to create a synonym for the main wiki page, where the synonym is "Main_Page" (to capture any old links to the wiki when it was MediaWiki based). When trying to add a synonym for the index I get the error:
      The title you have entered is too short (0 characters). Please lengthen your title, but use no more than 125 characters.
      Is it not possible to have synonyms for the top level wiki page?

      2. I am converting legacy MediaWiki article links to VaultWiki's version using [wiki= ..... but this strips out the hash character making it more difficult to link to specific sections of wiki pages. A work around is to use Xenforo URLs but the downside to this is the URL is absolute now. I can also leave legacy MediaWiki article links as-is with [B][[....#anchor[/B] and the hash is not stripped. Now the question, is there a method of including an anchor in the [B][wiki="....#anchor[/B] bbcode?

      Thanks

      1. This is a bug. I've found the problem and the fix will be included in the next release (4.0.18).

      2. Please try placing a | before the #. The | tells the BB-Code that the page name is over and that the rest is related to the URL.

      Thanks for that pegasus!

      2. The pipe ("|") separator is a bit different to MW #anchor handling but is consistent with other VW things like template arguments, table/div CSS and content separation and whatnot. It would be good to add this anchor link how-to to the manual I think? https://www.vaultwiki.org/pages/Help...VW4:Wiki-Links
