h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The automatic linking of A-numbers doesn't work with the # character for sub-sections (neither on h2g2 nor on MBs), Eg:
A1038061
A1038061#ESP
<./>A1038061#ESP</.> (using forcing ./ tags)

I suspect U-numbers are the same:
U6#test

Which is odd because F-numbers do include some extra processing (they have to do so for the threads and pages!) but then have trouble working at all if they are next to any other characters, especially on the MBs:
>F48000?thread=3520269
F48000?thread=3520269, (that sort of thing, esp brackets, breaks some links)
F48000#test
F48000?thread=3520269#test

"As has been mentioned several times. . .

The sub-anchor does only work with the forced link. Well, I doubt that it is not too much work for those who already had to dig the anchor name from the entry.

Spaces between words are a good habit, once you have seen a link staying flat, you should be aware to seperate them by spaces. (notice the added comma on your working F example)

Other special characters can include: '[', ']', ' '(space) I know there are some more . . . We will have to escape them %5B, %5D, %20 . "

%23 doesn't work. I'd already tried that!

NB I was raising this as a general point, not because *I* have trouble remembering to put spaces around F-links but because most *other* people don't seem to know, remember or check and the A/U versions do auto-link. Link-forcing tags don't work on the MBs. So a full link http link has to be used there to get to a sub-section.
