Linking to a specific place on a page

...

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:
    Code Block
    {anchor:anchortext}
    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.
  3. Navigate to the place where you want to insert the link.
  4. Wiki MarkupIf that place is on the same page, create the link in the following form: unmigrated-wiki-markup
    Code Block
     \[linktext\|#anchortext\].
  5. If that place is on another wiki page, create the link in the following form:
    Code Block
     \[linktext\|https://TinyLink#NameOfPageWithoutSpaces-anchortext\]. 
    For example, this wiki markup:
    Code Block
     \[Warning to avoid duplication of content\|https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/-wxy#WikiFAQs,TipsandGuidelines-warningtoavoidduplicationofcontent\] 
    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].

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.
