{{H:h|editor toc}}

:''See also: {{ml|Help:Link|Anchors}}.''

<div id="what_to_link_to">An '''anchor''' is a link to a specific portion of a page.</div>

==Setting anchors==
* [[Help:Section|Headers]] automatically become HTML anchors, which can be linked to.
* The <a> tag is [[Help:HTML in wikitext|not allowed in MediaWiki]], so one cannot use <a name="link here">; however, one can use the "id" HTML attribute with almost any existing tag. For example, <nowiki><div id="what_to_link_to">text</div></nowiki>, <nowiki><div id="what_to_link_to" />text</nowiki> or alternatively, for inline use in bulleted lists, <nowiki><span id="what_to_link_to">text</span></nowiki>.

==Referencing anchors==
Inside a regular wikilink <nowiki>[[page#anchor_name|shown_up_as]]</nowiki>, include the hash sign (#) and the header name or the id tag name as it is written.

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