- An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with
id="(anchor name)"
, or an|id=(anchor name)
parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links. - Even though section headers of the general form

are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.

Usage
edit- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to embedded anchors. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to anchor}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to anchor}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{R to anchor}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WV:REDCAT.
- This rcat is used whenever a redirect targets an embedded {{anchor}} or {{vanchor}} on a page, a
<span id=(anchor)> ... </span>
html element or theid=
attribute within tables. A redirect may target an anchor that covers a particular term that has insufficient independent scope and notability to warrant its own section, much less an entire article, and the term is nonetheless important within the field and is useful to link from other articles in the field of expertise. Such redirects allow a reader to search and find useful information about the term and similar related material in the defining article. - Also use this rcat to tag redirects that target old section headers that have been replaced and anchored to prevent broken internal and external links. This template should not be used to categorize redirects to existing section headers. Use {{R to section}} instead.
- Please use the following rcats when more appropriate:
- {{R to list entry}}, which populates Category:Redirects to list entries
- {{R to section}}, which populates Category:Redirects to sections
