Editing Help:Link (section)

===Linking to part of a section===
{{shortcut|WP:LINKPART}}
{{see also|#Table row linking}}
Anchors can also be used to link to any part of a section. For example, if you want to link to the fifth sentence of a section, you place an anchor at the start of that sentence, and you can then link to that anchor in the same way as you would link to any other anchor. 

However, just as with section names, duplicate anchor names only link to the first one. Since anchors aren't displayed you have a much greater freedom in picking unique anchors, such as by appending the current date and time to the anchor name (for example, by naming an anchor for section "ThisSection" like so: <nowiki>{{Anchor|ThisSection2014-09-22-18-05a1}}</nowiki>&nbsp;).

Anchors can be placed anywhere, including at the start of a clause, and inside notes and citations, though it is advisable to test first in your [[Draft:Sandbox|sandbox]] before trying some exotic new kind of location for the first time. Also the anchor has to be placed after any indicators that are only recognized at the start of a line (such as == or ===, etc., for new section, * for new bullet point, : for indentation), as the anchor should still work, but the start-of-line indicator usually no longer will (and you may not always notice this, perhaps especially if you are in a hurry).

There are a small number of special anchor names. See {{slink|#Table row linking}}.
