How do you make a link go to a certain part of the page in wikipedia?

I want to make a link that will just go to a certain part of that page, kind of like the contents... does anyone know how? is it possible?

The person with the username of "-" is pretty much correct -- they certainly shouldn't have been voted down for that response!

When a page is bookmarked or linked to, the ordinary situation is that the link goes to the very top of the page.

If you want the link to go somewhere else on the page, there has to be what is called a 'named' 'anchor' built into the HTML code that describes the page.

To know for certain whether you can jump to a certain portion of text, it'll work best if you look at the HTML. (I've include a link to one of the better websites for reference and information on HTML).

For example, go to the Wikipedia website on HTML (the second link below). Here is a shortcut that'll help in many situations: right-click on one of the elements of the Table of Contents and copy the link to the clipboard. The paste that link somewhere -- it doesn't really matter where -- and look at it. You'll see that the link is the same as that of the whole page, but with a "#whatever" portion appended to the end. That last portion is the 'name' of the 'anchor' at that position in the page.

If you want to figure out whether a page has a named anchor in any location, you need to look at the HTML. Select and highlight the text before, through and after the Section Header for "Elements", a way down in the HTML page. Then look at the source (look for an option to do that in the View or Edit menu, or perhaps by right-clicking -- ideally you'll find an option to 'View Selection Source').

You might have to hunt through a lot of messy HTML, but eventually you should spot the following:
<a name="Elements" id="Elements"></a>
The text after 'name' is the anchor element you'll want to link to in order to jump to that portion of the page.

If there is no appropriate named anchor where you'd like to go, you're out of luck: there's no way to link beyond the beginning of a page without these.

I don't know about any certain part but let me help you. Suppose you search up Bill Clinton. Then when you go to a menu list in the page, where you are able to click the blue link to go to that certain part of the page, you can now save that page into favorites and only that part will save

At the end of the link (whether internal or external, it doesn't matter), you should put a # followed by the name of the section. For example, if the section is named "External links" you should put and is in an article named "Wikipedia" you would put

internal: [[Wikipedia#External_links]] (you can control the text displayed for the link with a | and the text you want)
external: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#E... (if you want to have text other than the address, you should include a space at the end, followed by what you want your link to say)

If you want to have a direct address to the section, you would use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#E...

to make a link to another article in wikipedia place brackets around the word: example [[Yahoo!]]
