As a general rule, it is preferable, particularly in cases where a section has a large number of backlinks, to use {{subst:Anchor}} in the HTML element of the header. To link to a section within the same article, one can simply prefix the name of the section header with the pound sign ("#") nested in square brackets, for example ("#"):
While on that blank page, other red links to this (non-existent) title can be detected using the "What links here" feature. If the target of a link is the same as the page on which it appears (a self-link), it is displayed in bold font, as with: Help:Link. Yes, its wiki code is actually [[Help: Link]].

An internal link is a type of hyperlink on a web page to another page or resource, such as an image or document, on the same website or domain.

A permanent link (or permalink) is a link to a specific version of a Wikipedia page.Normal internal links always lead to the current version of a page, but the permalink leads to the text as it was at that point in time; the text does not include any edits made since.
Redirects that keep links to a page active after it has been renamed (even if internal links are updated—this still applies for links from outside and links in edit summaries) Note that it is not necessary to create redirects from every title an editor may conceivably wish to link to a given page – piped links can be used as an alternative.
You can "deep link" to a section of an article (or other Wikipedia page), using a hash character (#), then the section's title, with underscore characters (_) replacing spaces.
To link to a section in the same page you can use [[#section name|displayed text]], and to link to a section in another page [[page name#section name|displayed text]]. The anchors disregard the depth of the section; a link to a subsection or sub-subsection etc. will be [[#subsection name]] and [[#sub-subsection name]] etc.
Find the page which contains the section you want to refer to. Click on "Permanent link" in the "Toolbox" in the lefthand sidebar. Go to the page's Table of Contents. Right-click on the name of the section you want to use, where it appears in the Table of Contents, and select "Copy link address". The section link you want is now in your clipboard.
