Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I remove UTM parameters from Markdown?

UTM tracking parameters (e.g. ?utm_source=twitter) clutter documentation, trigger false change alerts in git diffs, and compromise reader privacy by linking browsing sessions to specific marketing campaigns.

Will stripping UTM tags break the links?

No! UTM parameters are purely for analytics. The underlying web destination remains 100% identical and fully functional without them.

Does this affect anchor links like #overview?

No, internal section anchors (#overview) and valid non-tracking query parameters are kept safe.
