Template:Anchor

<span id="">

Template documentation

The template <span id=""> inserts one HTML anchors in a page. The location can then be linked to using ... syntax.

Examples

1. {{anchor|foo}}

could be linked to with [[#foo|...]] from within the same article,

or it could be linked to with [[articlename#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 [[articlename#foo]] would remain valid even if the section were renamed.

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.{{#ifeq:Anchor|Visible anchor|

4. If the text to be displayed must differ from the anchor (e.g. because it contains brackets for linking), the text parameter can be used:

{{anchor|foo|text=[[foo]]}}

this will result in a link that constitutes an anchor of its own|}}
