Link to an anchor in the same article using just the anchor name, e.g. [[#Anchor name]]. (In the Visual Editor, type #Anchor name into the link field.) From a different article, link to an anchor by specifying the article name, followed by a #, then the anchor name. e.g. [[Article name#Anchor name]]. The # will be visible in the link text.
Anchor names must be unique on a page, and must not duplicate any heading titles. Duplicate anchors will not work as expected since the #location 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.

[[Category:Section and anchor link formatting templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.

Omitting the page name is recommended when linking to a section in the same page because the link will work as expected when previewing changes or after moving the page. To format a link with the section sign (§) instead of a # (e.g. Page name § Section name rather than Page name#Section name), use the template {{Section link}} (or {}):
The template {} inserts one or more invisible anchor names (HTML fragment identifiers) in a page. The basic format is {{subst:anchor|Anchor name}}. To link to an anchor from within the same page, use [[#Anchor name|display text]]. To link to an anchor from another page, use [[Article name#Anchor name|display text]].
