| The template <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{ns:Template}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> inserts one or more [[Fragment identifier|HTML fragment identifiers]] (anchor names) in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using <code><nowiki>[[#Location|…]]</nowiki></code> syntax. {{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Visible anchor| Unlike {{tl|Anchor}}, the first parameter will be visible text on the page.|}} (Usually the first letter of the ''location'' is capitalised to reflect the common capitalisation used in section headers – see [[MOS:HEAD]].)
| | ==Usage== |
| | 1. <code style="color:green;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|foo<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
| | : could be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#foo|...]]</nowiki></tt> from within the same article, |
| | : or it could be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''<small>articlename</small>''#foo|...<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt> from other articles and from redirects. |
|
| |
|
| === Examples === | | 2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example, |
| | :<code style="color:green;"><nowiki>=={{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|foo<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><code style="color:gray;"> Section title <nowiki>==</nowiki></code> |
| | :Here, links via <tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''articlename''#foo<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt> would remain valid even if the section were renamed. |
|
| |
|
| 1. <code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|Foo<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| | 3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example, |
| : could be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#Foo|…]]</nowiki></tt> from within the same article, | | : <code style="color:green;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|foo|bar|baz<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
| : or it could be linked to with {{nowrap|<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''<small>Article name</small>''#Foo<nowiki>|…]]</nowiki></tt>}} from other articles and from redirects.
| | :will create three anchors that can then be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#foo]]</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>[[#bar]]</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>[[#baz]]</nowiki></tt>. |
| | :Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed. |
|
| |
|
| 2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example:
| |
| :{{nowrap|1=<code style="color:dimgray;"><nowiki>==</nowiki><span>{{sp}}</span><code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Foo}}</nowiki></code><span>{{sp}}</span>Section title <nowiki>==</nowiki></code>}}
| |
| :Here, links via {{nowrap|1=<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''Article name''#Foo<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt>}} would remain valid even if the section were renamed. (Note that the anchor is placed ''before'' the section name; otherwise browsers may hide the section title from view.) However, as noted under [[#Limitations|Limitations]] below, it may be preferable to use direct HTML rather than the template within section titles:
| |
| :{{nowrap|1=<code style="color:dimgray;"><nowiki>==</nowiki><span>{{sp}}</span><code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki><span id="Foo" /></nowiki></code><span>{{sp}}</span>Section title <nowiki>==</nowiki></code>}}
| |
|
| |
|
| 3. The template can be used to create multiple anchors with a single call. For example,
| | ==Example== |
| : {{nowrap|1=<code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Foo|Bar|baz}}</nowiki></code>}}
| |
| :will create three anchors that can then be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#Foo]]</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>[[#Bar]]</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>[[#baz]]</nowiki></tt>.

| * Anchor names that contain any character shown in the table on the right will not work as expected. However, any of these characters can be replaced with the "&#" codes shown for them here. Or, the pipe symbol and equals sign can be worked around with {{tl|!}} and {{tl|{{=}}}}, respectively. Markup code such as {{tag|sup|o}} and {{tag|sub|o}} (superscript and subscript) cannot be used. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation, are not a problem.
| |
| * Anchor names should be unique on a page, and should not duplicate any heading titles. Duplicate anchors will not work as expected since the <code><nowiki>#location</nowiki></code> links go to the first anchor with that name. Duplicate anchors result in invalid HTML; you can check for duplicate anchors by running the page through the [[W3C Markup Validation Service]].
| |
| * If the template is added to a section title then the code will appear in the edit summary window when that section is edited, as in {{nowrap|1="<code><nowiki>/* {{anchor|Issues}}Limitations */ New issue</nowiki></code>"}}. Also, when the section is saved, browsers may not return to the section. Consider using <code><nowiki><span id="..." /></nowiki></code> directly, rather than using the anchor template, when in a section title.
| |
| * Anchor links are case sensitive in some browsers, so treat all anchor links as case sensitive.

|
| ===Use in tables===
| | <includeonly> |
| Anchors may be used within tables, subject to certain restrictions. The {{tlx|anchor}} template may be used in the caption and cells of a table, but not those portions of a table that are outside the caption and cells. It is used on the table's caption thus:<source enclose=div lang=text>|+ {{anchor|FooX}} A table caption</source> and the following forms of cell are valid:<source enclose=div lang=text>!{{anchor|Foo1}} A header cell
| | [[Category:Formatting templates]] |
| !style="background:white;" |{{anchor|Foo2}} A header cell with styling
| | [[Category:Internal link templates]] |
| |{{anchor|Foo3}} A data cell
| | [[ar:template:anchor]] |
| |rowspan=2 |{{anchor|Foo4}} A data cell spanning two rows</source> You need to ensure that the {{tlx|anchor}} is not in that portion of the markup intended for the classes, styles etc. Thus, {{tlx|anchor}} cannot be placed anywhere on lines that begin with <code><nowiki>{|</nowiki></code> (start of table) or <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> (new row), and the following forms of cell are not valid:<source enclose=div lang=text>!{{anchor|Foo1}} |A header cell
| | [[bg:template:anchor]] |
| !style="background:white;" {{anchor|Foo2}} |A header cell with styling
| | [[ca:template:anchor]] |
| |{{anchor|Foo3}} |A data cell
| | [[cs:template:anchor]] |
| |rowspan=2 {{anchor|Foo4}} |A data cell spanning two rows</source> If it is necessary for an anchor to be in any of these positions, a different technique is used - the <code>id=</code> attribute. This is placed in that portion of the markup where the classes, styles etc. may be used, as follows:<source enclose=div lang=text>{| id=FooX class=wikitable
| | [[da:template:anchor]] |
| |- id=FooY
| | [[de:Vorlage:Anker]] |
| !id=Foo1 |A header cell
| | [[el:template:anchor]] |
| !style="background:white;" id=Foo2 |A header cell with styling
| | [[en:template:anchor]] |
| |id=Foo3 |A data cell
| | [[eo:template:anchor]] |
| |rowspan=2 id=Foo4 |A data cell spanning two rows</source> The <code>id=</code> attribute may appear before, between or after any other attributes that may be present, but only one <code>id=</code> attribute may be used in each of these areas.

Usage
1. {{anchor|foo}}
- could be linked to with [[#foo|...]] from within the same article,
- or it could be linked to with [[articlename#foo|...]] from other articles and from redirects.
2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example,
=={{anchor|foo}} Section title ==- Here, links via [[articlename#foo]] would remain valid even if the section were renamed.
3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example,
{{anchor|foo|bar|baz}}- will create three anchors that can then be linked to with [[#foo]], [[#bar]] and [[#baz]].
- Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.
Example
==== {{anchor|Example anchor}} Usage ====
or
==== {{anchor|anchor=Example anchor}} Usage ====
Template:Anchor#Example anchor (from another page) or #Example anchor (from this page) will now link to the section called "Usage", as seen above.
