Usage
Use to create a section link that is independent of a section title. See also Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Anchor. Copied over from Wikipedia, see Template:Anchor.
1. {{anchor|Foo}}
- could be linked to with [[#Foo...]] from within the same article,
- or it could be linked to with [[Article name#Foo|…]] from other articles and from redirects.
2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example:
==
{{anchor|Foo}}
Section title ==- Here, links via [[Article name#Foo]] would remain valid even if the section were renamed.
- The following is an example of what not to do:
== Section title
{{anchor|Bar}}
==- Here, the link [[Article name#Bar]] would take the user to the section, but could undesirably hide the section title from view.
3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example,
{{anchor|Foo|Bar|baz}}
- will create three anchors that can then be linked to with [[#Foo]], [[#Bar]] and [[#baz]].
- Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.
