The following are the steps to link 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. Put the link anchor after the item you want to be approximately at the top of the screen when the link target opens.
  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: \[FAQWarning to bulletavoid forduplication thisof tipcontent\|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/J518#WikiFAQsandTips-specificplacelinkwarningtoavoidduplicationofcontent\] provides a link back to the FAQlast item bulleton itemthe forFAQs thismain tippage. The working link is [FAQWarning to bulletavoid forduplication thisof tipcontent|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/J518#WikiFAQsandTips-specificplacelinkwarningtoavoidduplicationofcontent].

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 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.

If you change the name of the page, the link opens the page but does not go to the specific place on the page.
