Description:
Example: Search Wikipedia for "Malia Obama". You get taken to the "Malia Obama and Sasha Obama" section of the page "Family of Barack Obama". However, the URL is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malia_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama".
This is misleading because it might lead you to believe that you are on a page called "Malia Obama" which has a subsection named "Malia and Sasha Obama".
Worse, suppose you want to see what the title of the article to which you have been redirected is:
- it's not in the URL
- it's often hard to see it in the tab if you have many tabs open (and modern browsers have done away with the title bar)
- so now you're left with scrolling up to the top of the page just to find out what its title is
To fix this, the URL should be rewritten to contain the name of the article to which you have been redirected, e.g. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Barack_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama".
