Linking to a specific place on a page
...
The following are the steps to link to a specific place on a page.
- Navigate to the place to which you want to link.
- Immediately after the text to which you want to link, enter an anchor:
where "anchortext" will be used as a "bookmark" in the link you create. Put the anchor after the item you want to be approximately at the top of the screen when the link target opens.Code Block {anchor:anchortext}
- Navigate to the place where you want to insert the link.
If that place is on the same page, create the link in the following form:Wiki Markup Code Block unmigrated-wiki-markup\[linktext\|#anchortext\].
- If that place is on another wiki page, create the link in the following form:
For example, this wiki markup:Code Block \[linktext\|https://TinyLink#NameOfPageWithoutSpaces-anchortext\].
provides a link back to the last item on the FAQs main page. The working link is [Warning to avoid duplication of content|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/-wxy#WikiFAQs,TipsandGuidelines-warningtoavoidduplicationofcontent].Code Block \[Warning to avoid duplication of content\|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/-wxy#WikiFAQs,TipsandGuidelines-warningtoavoidduplicationofcontent\]
Thus the link from another wiki page to a specific place on a page is constructed as follows: the tiny link followed by # followed by the full text of the page title as it may be displayed in the browser window, without the plus signs followed by a dash followed by the anchor text.
