I'm not sure you do understand it completely. Wikipedia's CGI doesn't
need to understand fragments, in fact it doesn't receive it normally.
When a browser wants something like
"http://some.uri/some/resource#fragment", it sends the server just the
address "http://some.uri/some/resource", without the "#fragment" part,
it receives the complete page, and then the browser scrolls down to
the specified fragment (or a similar operation).
