Usage
Description
The templates {{anchor}} and {{anchors}} insert one or more HTML anchors in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using [[#link|...]]
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,
==Section title==
{{anchor|foo}}
- 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.
Limitations
- Anchor names that contain # (hash), | (pipe), = (equal) will not work as expected. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation are not a problem.
- Anchors cannot be placed in the middle of other wiki syntax. For example,
==Heading{{anchor|foo}}==
will not work. - The template can create a maximum of 10 anchors. Specifying more than 10 anchors will result in an error message.
- Care should be taken to ensure that names are on a single line: For example,
{{anchor
- |humpty
dumpty}} - will probably not work as expected.
- Anchor names should be unique (with respect to all heading titles and additional anchors) on each page; multiple anchors won't work as expected since the #links will always go to the first anchor with that name.
- Unlike section headings, anchors may not work on some (very old) browsers. This is because section headings are tagged with the more backward-compatible
<a name="heading" id="heading"></a>
. Such tagging cannot be achieved with templates.
