The template {{anchor}} inserts one or more HTML anchors in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using [[#link|...]] syntax. Examples

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.
