Anchors allow you to link to a specific portion of a page.
Setting anchors
Automatic anchors
Section headings automatically act as anchors, with the heading text as the "anchor_name". In the case of multiple sections with identical headings, the anchor name of each has "_2", "_3", etc. appended, starting from the second occurrence.
Using the {{anchor}} template
- set your anchor anywhere in the page by using
{{anchor|anchorname}}
Manual anchors
Manually-set anchors are useful for linking to "unlinkable" things like a table (title or cell), a section of plain text, etc. There are a number of ways to set an anchor at an arbitrary position:
- Generic anchor:
<span id="anchor_name">some text</span>. For a hidden anchor, omit the text.
- The reserved name
[[#top]]always links to the top of a page.
- On some wikis, a template called "anchor" exists, providing a simple, standardized method for that wiki. The Self Study wiki does use Template:Anchor.
Referencing anchors
Inside a regular wiki link [[page#anchor_name|shows_as]], include the hash sign (#) and the header name or the id tag name as you have written it.
Links of the form [[#anchor_name]] will link to the first anchor on the page matching that "anchor_name", usually the first identical section heading.
