[edit]

Under the "Caribbean" section of this page, many of the links do not transfer accurately to the desired section of the resulting page. (The information appears on said page, but user must scroll to find it.) I believe that some hashtag (#) labels may need to be added somewhere, but am uncertain how to make the proper insertions myself. Furthermore, I have followed a couple of the "Category" links in the heads of sub-sections of this page, and within a few steps am redirected to the same inaccurate section of the page that results from the original attempt to follow the untagged Wikilink.

Following up: attempts to identify the problem more exactly yield one positive result. No link for one of the sovereign nations in the Caribbean goes astray. This only affects those states that are territories of another country. These lists are embedded under subheads on the Caribbean Islands page, while the nation states have distinct lists of islands on separate pages. Allgotterer (talk) 23:28, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible solution? I changed link target to "#[name of relevant sub-section of desired page]." At least for my test case of Aruba, this change worked by transferring to the dropped-down Netherlands portion of the Caribbean Islands page—exactly what I hoped for.
