Link to specific spot in wiki Blah

Bortas

Is there a way to link to a specific area of a wiki page, as if using the command?

Thanks,

I found this...

Question: How do I create a link to a specific section of a wiki page, so it automatically scrolls down?
Answer: To do this, you will need to create an anchor, which marks the spot you want to scroll to, and then a link that tells the browser to scroll there. The link can come from another page, or scroll to a spot on the page you’re already on. For starters, you’ll need to place and anchor, which will look like this:

@
Then you’ll need a link, which will look like this on the same page:
Part 1
Or like this to link to a section of another page:
Foo Bar, Part 1@

Thorvaldr

This is what I use for the PRP tallies in Tyellador:

Where I want my link:

Player

Where I want my link to go:


-Thorvaldr

OK, so: https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/player-point-system-current-totals
And on that page I have Ulrich

I tried:
"Ulrichs points":https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/player-point-system-current-totals#ulrich
and
Ulrich's Points

Both links take me to the top of that wiki page, but not down to Ulrich's section.

Trying to replicate the intent of what Thorvaldr has, but I want to also be able to do it from their character page.

Here's the link I have from their character page, going to the wiki:

PRP Points

...which looks very much like what you tried. I did have some weird issues with this a while ago, on one browser it would take me to the top of the page, while on another browser it would take me to the correct place on the page. In whichever page you're trying to link down to, put in a local link as well to take you down to that position, just to make sure your tags are set up correctly there. But... yeah, possibly it's different browsers?

Somebody posted (on the help forums?) that they were having the same problem of the link taking them momentarily to the specific spot, then jumping to the top of the page.

Let me search...

yeah...might be a bug...if Thorvaldr has it working though...

Thanks, gang. I saw that other thread, but it was pre-reforge, so thought it might be dead. And I had already seen Thor's working... I know there is a way, I must have a silly error somewhere. Adding links to the anchors at the top of the page, like Thor has, and see where that takes me.

Well that was unexpected.

On this page: https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/wikis/player-point-system-current-totals

I added this code: Ulrich

And when I click it, it takes me to the correct place of the document, but the address bar changes to, and the link location is: https://morwindl.obsidianportal.com/wikis/Ulrich#Ulrich which if I try to refresh, or use as a link elsewhere, of course does not function.

Wild again... ok... so I did it for the rest of my players, they all work normally as I would expect.

Just ulrich is wierd. Now wtf am I missing....?

Stranger still... I changed "#Ulrich" and "Ulrich" to "#Austin" and "Austin" - works exactly correct.

Change them back to Ulrich... fails.

Definitely sounds bizarre, I was unable to reproduce.

Probably the result of internet goblins. You might try spreading some salt or St Johns Wort around your computer - goblins hate that stuff.
