Help:Anchors


 * See also .

An anchor is a link to a specific portion of a page.

Setting anchors

 * headers automatically become html anchors, which can be linked to.
 * The  tag is not allowed in MediaWiki, so we can't do the, but we can do the "id" html attribute to almost any existing tag. For example, text or text.

Referencing anchors
inside a regular wiki link shown_up_as, include the hash sign (#) and the header name or the id tag name as you have written it.

Linking to a position in an external page
The HTML source of the target page needs to have  or <.. id=..> at the target item as anchor to link to. Thus linking to a position in an external page for which this is not the case yet, one needs control over the target page, or cooperation of one who has.
