(→‎Linking to article sections: The FlightGear wiki runs a too old version of MediaWiki for notifications to work like that)

:::: Ah. I think the reason we do not have that feature here yet (for a while?) is that the FlightGear wiki is running an old version of MediaWiki (see [[Special:Version#Installed software]] for this wiki versus [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version#Installed_software the same for the MediaWiki Wiki], and {{wikipedia|MediaWiki version history}}  to see just how old our one is in comparison).

::::: Indeed, it's a bit oldish. Also, the lack of HTTPS support is not fantastic due to the facts that 1) the server receives credentials when one logs in and 2) the wiki provides a lot of links to repositories and upstream websites (AFAIK, doing a MITM attack on an HTTP connection is much easier with HTTP than with HTTPS). Not than I'm a fan of HTTPS, but that's essentially all we have for (relatively) safe browsing nowadays...
