1. Each letter has its OWN page
When you click on the letter, you will be taken to the selected page.
To see the code at work: Surname Directory - A.
_A |_B |_C |_D |_E |_F |_G |_H |_I |_J |_K |_L |_M |_N |_O |_P |_Q |_R |_S |_T |_U |_V |_W |_XYZ
2. Links WITHIN the same page
When you click on the letter, you will be taken to the selected section.
To see the code at work: Places of Worship ~Sussex.
N.B. THIS USES THE SECTION HEADINGS SO THAT IT APPEARS IN THE TOC/CONTENTS
Example of the code: [[#A|A]]
#A is the name of the section. By putting |after it you can call the link anything you like.
If there is nothing else on the page you can use ____NOTOC__ .
This avoids a long vertical list in the contents.
N.B. If you do use __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page this overules the __TOC__.
If you can't use __NOTOC__ on a page because it already uses __TOC__ you can do the following:
'''A'''<span id="A"></span> This creates the anchor for the letter A
'''B'''<span id="B"></span> This creates the anchor for the letter B
Then you can use the code [[#A|A]] as above.
Back to top
If a pages gets very long, you should consider using:
<div align="right">[[#top|Back to Top]]</div>
Redirections
A redirect allows one page to divert to another with the minimum amount of fuss.
Redirects are usually used when information has been moved to another location.
To make a redirect
- Create a new page
- Then type: #REDIRECT [[pagename]] (Page name being the name of the page you are linking to.
- If you then search for the page you just created as a redirect, you'll be transferred to the page you linked the redirect to.
