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.
  3. Navigate to the place where you want to insert the link.

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

  5. 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.

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.
