The Anchor template creates a new anchor that can be used for linking to sections or specific regions of a page.
Parameters
- 1
- Name of the anchor. Will be encoded into an anchor string using the
{{anchorencode:}}magic word. - 2
- (optional)
The text with which the anchor should be created. Leave this blank to make the anchor invisible.
Usage
- (See the MediaWiki help on link anchors for details)
When used, this template produces a <span> element that has the specified anchor name. For example, the template call {{Anchor|My custom anchor}} produces the following output:
<span class="anchor" id="My_custom_anchor"></span>
This anchor can then be linked to using the link [[#My_custom_anchor|Link to my custom anchor]]. Note that the link destination uses the anchor-encoded anchor name. To make this conversion easier and less error-prone, you can also use Template:AnchorLink.
