#section is known as a fragment.
Title::getLocalURL() does not return the fragment. To get it, one should use Title::getLinkUrl().

You added a new magic word instead of fixing the current one? I don't understand.

Neither do I :P

Re-opening this for now.

To me getLocalURL() and getLinkUrl() are two different functions and deserve differents magic word.

But what's the usecase for having a magic word which strips the fragment?

Since Title has two functions, I though we could have two magic words as well.

One possibility was to map {{localurl:}} with Title::getLinkUrl() instead of Title::getLocalURL(), but that looks weird and inconsistent.

I think you should re-read the opening post. :-)

"{{localurl:User:Bob#section}}" returns "/wiki/User:Bob". This is wrong. This is the bug. Instead, "{{localurl:User:Bob#section}}" should return "/wiki/User:Bob#section", just like {{fullurl:}} does currently. (And "{{localurl:User:Bob#section|action=edit}}" should return "/w/index.php?title=User:Bob&action=edit#section".)

I can't see any reason {{localurl:}} would intentionally strip the section anchor.

If there are use-cases for other magic words, I think they should be the topic of other bugs. This one is about {{localurl:}} stripping the section anchor needlessly and unexpectedly.
