:You are correct. Viewers will likely assume that the blue linked term is an article, not a link to a section. They shouldn't be surprised when clicking on it. The third option you gave is no different than the first two. You honestly don't think it's mundane and confounding? I think so, and my mentor  concurs.   •   

 ::I'm somewhat confused by your answer. I asked a number of questions; I'm not sure which answers apply to which questions. Here's what I understand - please correct/clarify/confirm as appropriate. 
 ::We have examples: 
 ::1) Zoot, a member of the fictional muppet band Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem 
 :::Zoot, a member of the fictional muppet band [[Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem#Zoot|''Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem'']] 
 ::2) Zoot, a character in the television series The Tribe 
 :::Zoot, a [[List of The Tribe characters#Zoot Martin/Daniel James|character]] in the television series ''The Tribe'' 
 ::3) Zoot, a cast member in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail 
 :::Zoot, a [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail#Cast|cast member]] in the film ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' 
 ::and questions & answers: 
 ::Q i) You dont like example 1) because the blue bit suggests it is a link to that page. Have I got that correct? 
 :::Answer: "You are correct. Viewers will likely assume that the blue linked term is an article, not a link to a section. They shouldn't be surprised when clicking on it." 
 ::Q ii) But, it is a link to that page, isn't it? (Albiet a link to a section on the page, but still a link to that page.) What am I missing? 
 :::Answer: (I couldn't identify an answer to this question.) 
 ::Q iii) In example 2, it clearly doesn't suggest it's a link to the page; it suggests it's a link to information about the character(s). (Doesn't it?) 
 :::Answer: (Implied answer is "No", but I can't determine why.) 
 ::Q iv) What is it you don't like about example 2? 
 :::Answer: (I'm not sure of which is your answer. I think it might be the "suprise" element, but I wouldn't have thought that they would expect that the only blue link on the line (a blue link on the word "character") would actually link to the page "character" - having the only blue link point to something that wasn't specifically about the character in question would be pointless. Hence, I'm not sure what your answer to Q iv) is.) 
 ::Q v) Is example 2 the same as example 3. 
 :::Answer: (my wording) "Yes." (your words) "The third option you gave is no different than the first two." 
 ::::Comment: Interesting! I think examples 1) and 2) are different. You think they are the same. 
 ::::Do you understand why I think they are different? (Or do I need to explain further?) 
 ::::I'm afraid I don't understand why you think they are the same, so, new question 
 ::Q vi) Why you think examples 1) and 2) are the same? 

 ::You have asked the question: 
 ::Q vii) You honestly don't think it's mundane and confounding? 
 ::I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. 
 ::Do you mean: "Do you think it's mundane and confounding?" ? 
 ::If so, to which "it" are you referring? 
 ::If not, I don't understand the question. 

 ::"I think so" - I assume you mean "I think it is mundane and comfounding."? 
 ::Again, which "it" are you referring to? 
 ::"and my mentor concurs" - With what does you mentor concur? 

 ::I'm looking forward to you "disambiguating" this for me. (OK, very bad joke - it is getting quite late here ... )
