This comes form the term "fragment identifier", which is used for the
part of a URI after the "#" character. These fragment identifiers are
used to reference a particular location in a (HTML) document. 

What checklink is telling you is that it found a link where 
"fragment identifier" (e.g <a href="#example">) that does not refer 
to any "name" or "id" in the document, so the link may not be broken, 
but the fragment is.

P.S: the link checker is relatively clever and manages to understand
broken HTML, but you may still want to use the HTML validator for your
page(s), too. ( http://validator.w3.org/ )


Hope this helps
