Description:
Currently, sections on a MediaWiki page are associated with anchors with a name and id based on the title of the section. If there are multiple sections with the same name, then each one after the first has a number appended, so that they're unique.
However, at least on IE7 (running on Windows XP), the browser does not distinguish between two anchor names that differ only by case, whereas MW currently does distinguish, so a link with an anchor intending to link to the second section instead goes to the first one.
Example: Today, on en:w:Help Desk, there was a section titled "Adding external links", and one further down titled "Adding External Links" (or something fairly similar). MW treated the two titles as different, and so didn't add a number to the second in the anchor name, but IE7, when told to go to "#Adding External Links", went to the first one.
