Hello Tim,
Anchors work in HTML through the name attribute on an <a tag. This
means that if you want to have a link to "Earp, Wyatt (1848-1929)",
you need to have something such as
<a name="EW1"> </a>'''Earp, Wyatt
(1848-1929)'''<br />
Because MediaWiki does not allow HTML's <a> tags directly (and you do
not want that), then you can make a simple extension such as the
following:

I hope that this helps,

Running v1.8.2.
My pages are like an index, with the first line of each entry being,
for example:
Earp, Wyatt (1848-1929)
If I set this as a header of any type, I can link to it by specifying
[[#Earp, Wyatt (1848-1929)]]
My Question: Entering links from other pages to the Earp section of
its page, can I use a shortened version of the link call? It's too
cumbersome for users to have to enter an entire link title, so I'm
wondering if there's a shorthand as to how to markup the header or
change to link to that header?
I'm considering this approach instead of how I'm now doing it, which
is each entry title is just bolded and assigned an ID via a div:
<div id="earp">'''Earp, Wyatt
(1848-1929)'''<br />
Thanks. Tim
