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 before 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.
- Navigate to the place where you want to insert the link.
Create the link in the following form: [linktext|#anchortext]
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 (which represents https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/CommonProjects/caBIG-NCICB+Products+A+to+Z#caBIG-NCICBProductsAtoZ-caint) The tiny link for the page is https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/x/MId8
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.
