== What is an "anchor"? ==
{{sh|WP:ANCHOR DEF}}

The word "anchor" has two opposite meanings.

In the context of a link from an ''anchor'' to a ''target'', it is the starting place. 

In the context of the {{tl|anchor}} template, an "anchor" is a landing place for a link to jump to. The anchor ''template'' automatically creates some invisible coding from ''certain text in the template'' in the "landing place". In this context, the word "anchor" may refer to:
* the text and parameters, in the template, from which the invisible code is created,
* the mostly invisible HTML code, or
* the landing place/location/spot in itself.
