Link section usage

Hi Shinmili, thanks for all the work you do!

I've recently noticed you converting uses of {{Link}} to match how it's used in the documentation. I've never noticed a difference in behavior between specifying the section as an argument to section or appending it directly to the page title. But since you edit translated pages, maybe you've noticed a difference?

I've tried asking at #gentoo-wiki (webchat), but no one had an answer for me.

Hi Waldo. I appreciate your edits too.

You guess it right. The change is for helping translators and doesn't affect original English pages. If I accidentally put {{Link|Some_Article#some_section|テキスト}} as the Japanese translation, it would link to Some_Article#some_section/ja, where it should link to Some_Article/ja#some_section. It is really helpful if the original page is already written with section, and also recommended here to do so.

Thanks for the explanation. I've added some more information to the documentation. I'll fix any incorrect uses that I spot.
