:{{re|Mathglot}} Thanks for the message. I just learned about {{tls|anchor}} a few days ago before you commented here, when I re-read [[MOS:SECTIONANCHOR]]. That guideline must have changed, because the last time I read the guideline some years ago it didn't explicitly say to substitute the {{tl|anchor}}. So now I know to do that.

:However, I disagree with you that we can determine that there are no inlinks simply by searching Wikipedia, because '''Wikipedia is on the World Wide Web, and there could be inlinks from anywhere on the Web, or in people's browser bookmarks'''. I think it is reasonable to retain anchors for old section names that existed for a long time and could be linked from off-wiki (especially in a page like this one that is the best reference source on its subject on the Web), so I will restore those anchors in [[BibTeX]] but in substituted form. (If there is a guideline that explicitly contradicts my reasoning here, please point it out to me.) I agree with you that anchors shouldn't be added willy-nilly, but this isn't such a case.
