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.

1. Navigate to the place to which you want to link.
2. Immediately after the text to which you want to link, enter an anchor: {anchor:anchortext} where "anchortext" will be used as a "bookmark" in the link you create.
3. Navigate to the place where you want to insert the link.

4. Wiki Markup
   If that place is on the same page, create the link in the following form: \[linktext\|#anchortext\].

5. Wiki Markup

   If that place is on another wiki page or on a page in another site, create the link in the following form: \[linktext\|https://TinyLink#NameOfPageWithoutSpaces-anchortext\]. For example, this wiki markup: \[FAQ bullet for this tip\|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/J518#WikiFAQsandTips-specificplacelink\] provides a link back to the FAQ bullet item for this tip. The working link is [FAQ bullet for this tip|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/J518#WikiFAQsandTips-specificplacelink].

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:

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. Thus the link from another wiki page or another website to a specific place on a page is constructed as follows: the tiny link followed by # PLUS the full text of the page title as it may be displayed in the browser window, without the plus signs. If you change the name of the page, the link opens the page but does not go to the specific place on the page.
