Page History

The following are the steps to link to a specific A hierarchy of small wiki pages is easier to maintain than one large wiki page with sections. However, if you want to divide your content into sections within a single wiki page, you might need to create a link that points to a specific place on a page.

...

Create the link in the following form: \[linktext\|#anchortext\]

To do so, you can link to an anchor (which is like a bookmark) or a heading. For instructions, refer to the following Atlassian help pages:

• Anchors

  Multiexcerpt include
  MultiExcerptName ExitDisclaimer nopanel true PageWithExcerpt wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include

• Links

  Multiexcerpt include
  MultiExcerptName ExitDisclaimer nopanel true PageWithExcerpt wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include

If someone moves an anchor or a heading from one page to another, Confluence does not update links pointing to that anchor or heading. Those links continue to point to the original page. If the anchor or heading no longer exists in that page, the link displays the top of that page. 

If you want to link from another website to a specific place on a page, the link must be in the following form: https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/MId8#caBIG-NCICBProductsAtoZ-caint^{Image Removed} (which represents https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/CommonProjects/caBIG-NCICB+Products+A+to+Z#caBIG-NCICBProductsAtoZ-caint^{Image Removed}) The tiny link for the page is https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/MId8^{Image Removed}

Thus the link from another website to a specific place on a page is constructed as follows: the tiny link followed by # PLUS the full text of the anchor as displayed in the browser window. If you change the name of the page, the link will no longer work.
