Hi all,

 

As the subject pretty much describes it, is there a way for me to link to a specific section to another article as opposed to the one I’m currently editing?

I know <anchor id> works for the current article one is working, will this work for link sections of other articles? What amendments should I make to the codes?

 

Thank you.

Hi @ureee ,

 

You can make use of anchor tags to have this done as well. To any article link, you can add the anchor at the end and that should be accessible.

 

Here’s a video grab that could be of help!

Hi, 

 

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but the link above isn’t available to me (I’m new to Freshdesk, but I believe it’s because I need to have a Support login?!)… could you make that article available elsewhere - or even here?

 

Thanks

Interesting question! While <anchor id> works locally, for cross-article linking in-wiki, try using a specific, unique anchor in the target article (e.g., <anchor id="PokerogueDex_Breeding">). Then, link using [[TargetArticle#PokerogueDex_Breeding]]. This should jump directly to the "Breeding" section in the "TargetArticle," especially useful for comprehensive guides like a Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex guide! Experiment and see if that resolves it.

Hello ​@CintraRichie 
 

The link is working without being logged in to Support portal. Could you please try to access it again from incognito?

That's a really interesting question! I've often wondered about the best way to link to specific sections in other articles too. It would definitely make navigating complex information a lot easier. Thinking about it, it's kind of like how in Drift hunters, you precisely tune your car for specific track sections - you want that link to take people exactly where they need to go, not just the general page. Hope someone has a solution!

This is a good question about internal linking techniques between articles. You're absolutely right in recognizing that <anchor id> or similar methods work well for linking within the same article, but fortunately you can also apply similar techniques to link to specific sections of other articles. The implementation depends on the platform you're using. In MediaWiki, the standard syntax is [[Page name#Heading name]], for example [[Tutorial#Installation]] will lead to the Installation section in the Tutorial page. For regular HTML, you use <a href="page-url.html#section-id">text</a>, where section-id must match the id attribute of the section you want to link to. An important point to note is you need to ensure that the target section has an appropriate ID or heading for the link to work. The process of mastering these markup and linking techniques requires patience and continuous practice, somewhat similar to how you must train timing and precision to conquer difficult levels in Geometry Dash. If you can provide more information about the platform or CMS you're using, I can offer more specific and accurate guidance for your situation.
