Probably a stupid question answered million times, but I can't find an answer. MediaWiki can track missing pages and report those with Special:WantedPages. I'm not sure it's possible, but can MediaWiki report broken anchors? Say, I have the Foo page that refers the Bar page like this: <nowiki>[[Bar#Name]]</nowiki>. Let's assume the Bar page lacks this section, but Special:WantedPages won't report this link as broken because the Bar page exists. Is there any way to find all broken anchors? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know there is no way to archive that. This could be a job for a bot. But I don't know if there is already one that does such things.

It has been requested already at task T18561 but don't expect it to be implemented in the near future.
